Synthetic protein eases arthritis symptoms in mice
A lab-made version of a human protein alleviates symptoms of both acute and chronic arthritis in mice and could be the basis for a new arthritis drug for people, report scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). view more (2005-10-04)
European Anaesthesia Amalgamates
The Interim Board of Directors of the European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) announces the completion of the amalgamation of the former European Society of Anaesthesiologists (ESA), the former European Academy of Anaesthesiology (EAA) and the former Confederation of European National Societies of Anaesthesiologists (CENSA) into the European... view more...

Could new discovery about a shape-shifting protein lead to a mighty 'morpheein' bacteria fighter?
A small molecule that locks an essential enzyme in an inactive form could one day form the basis of a new class of unbeatable, species-specific antibiotics, according to researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center. view more (2008-06-23)
Horse genome assembled
The first draft of the horse genome sequence has been deposited in public databases and is freely available for use by biomedical and veterinary researchers around the globe, leaders of the international Horse Genome Sequencing Project announced today. view more (2007-02-08)
Decoding protein structures helps illuminate cause of diabetes
Any photographer can vouch for the difficulty of capturing a clear picture of a moving target.
When it comes to molecules, however, sometimes the motion is exactly what scientists want to see - for example, to understand the pathological protein mis-folding and assembly that seem to underlie a host of human disorders, including diabetes and... view more... (2007-05-17)
MIT researchers build tiny batteries with viruses
MIT scientists have harnessed the construction talents of tiny viruses to build ultra-small "nanowire" structures for use in very thin lithium-ion batteries. view more (2006-04-07)
New degree of importance for North-East England
The UK's first ever degree in North-East studies has been launched by the University of Sunderland. The unique course will look at every aspect of life in the region from the start of industrialisation, around the 1800s, to the present day. Students will get a grounding in the cultural, historical, geographical, economic, political and literary... view more... (2003-06-03)
Sight for sore eyes
An inventive breakthrough from the Applied Optics Group at the University of Kent at Canterbury (UKC) is set to revolutionise current methods of eye examinations. Professor David Jackson, Dr Adrian Podoleanu and Dr John Rogers, who gained his doctorate at Kent, have developed an instrument known as an Optical Dual Channel Tomograph. The instrument... view more... (2002-03-13)
In chemical genetics, a new strategy could speed drug discovery
Researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center have developed a new technique to speed discovery of drug targets in chemical genetics. As highlighted on the April cover of Chemistry & Biology, Fox Chase researcher Jeffrey R. Peterson, Ph.D., and his colleagues describe a new way to swiftly find the proteins targeted by small molecule inhibitors during... view more... (2006-04-24)
Researchers have discovered a gene that can block the spread of HIV
A team of researchers at the University of Alberta, including a scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, have discovered a gene that is able to block HIV, and thought to in turn prevent the onset of AIDS. view more (2008-02-29)
Media Invitation - 'Domes of Discovery' gears up old observatory for historic telescopes opening
A huge telescope is the centerpiece of a new exhibition called 'Domes of Discovery' at The Observatory Science Centre, Herstmonceux, Sussex. 'Domes of Discovery' tells the story of the world-famous Royal Greenwich Observatory (RGO) that was once based at Herstmonceux, and is housed in one of the former observatory's historic domes. The exhibition... view more... (2003-03-31)
The International Space Station, a test-bed for future space exploration
Joint statement by the International Space Station Heads of Agency ESA PR 33-2008. The Heads of the International Space Station (ISS) Agencies from Canada, Europe, Japan, Russia and the United States met today at ESA Headquarters in Paris, France, to review ISS cooperation. view more (2008-07-21)
Massive reanalysis of genome data solves case of the lethal genes
It is better to be looked over than overlooked, Mae West supposedly said. These are words of wisdom for genome data-miners of today. view more (2007-10-19)
A wasted opportunity?
British biologists are urging UK Departments of the Environment to expand a proposed two-year research programme into nuclear waste disposal in length and range to at least five years. Without knowledge of the biological and geological effects for each radioactive isotope, it will be impossible to establish best policy. In a response to Proposals... view more... (2002-03-19)
Zebrafish to shed light on human mitochondrial diseases
Zebrafish can now be used to study COX deficiencies in humans, a discovery that gives scientists an unprecedented window to view the earliest stages of mitochondrial impairments that lead to potentially fatal metabolic disorders. view more (2007-09-14)
New study reveals structure of the HIV protein shell
New research by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute and other institutions provides a close-up look at the cone-shaped shell that is the hallmark of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), revealing how it is held together-and possible ways to break it apart. view more (2009-06-15)
Hans Wigzell named America’s Swede of the Year
Professor Hans Wigzell, rector of Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, and a world leader in immunology, has been chosen by the Swedish Council of America to receive the honorary title of America’s Swede of the Year. view more (2002-09-03)
More Frequent Rest Breaks Could Reduce Industrial Accidents (p 680)
Increasing the frequency of short rest-breaks for factory workers who operate machinery could substantially reduce their risk of industrial accidents, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Phillip Tucker from the University of Swansea, UK, and colleagues studied the accident records over three years from a UK car... view more... (2003-02-19)
Multitasking nanotechnology
Confocal microscope image of a self-assembled monolayer of a polychlorotriphenyl methyl radical patterned on a quartz surface. This multifunctional molecule behaves as an electroactive switch with optical and magnetic response. view more (2008-07-11)
