First results from novel anti-angiogenic drug trial in patients
"Surprisingly effective" says French research team Frankfurt, Germany: A new drug that targets tumour blood vessels has produced a surprisingly effective response in its first patient study - shrinking the tumours in a number of patients treated so far, according to researchers carrying out the study at the Institut Gustave Roussy in Villejuif,... view more...

Digital communications advance with simple CdS thin films
Demands on digital communications are increasing at an exponential rate. The need for innovative advances in this area means research on optical and electrical properties of CdS thin films are of interest. view more (2006-05-15)
Random antenna arrays boost emergency communications
First responders could boost their radio communications quickly at a disaster site by setting out just four extra transmitters in a random arrangement to significantly increase the signal power at the receiver, according to theoretical analyses, simulations and proof-of-concept experiments performed at the National Institute of Standards and... view more...

A resetting signal keeps circadian rhythm on track in Drosophila fruit flies
A Brandeis University study published this week in Nature shows for the first time that a molecular signal maintains coherence among brain clock cells that regulate daily activity of Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). view more (2005-11-10)
Alleviating the burden of Multiple Sclerosis
Depression, coordination and speech problems, muscle weakness and disability are just a few of the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). view more (2006-08-07)
Scientists Unravel Clue in Cortisol Production
When a person's under stress or injured, the adrenal gland releases cortisol to help restore the body's functions to normal. But the hormone's effects are many and varied, lowering the activity of the immune system, helping create memories with short-term exposure, while impairing learning if there's too much for too long. view more (2007-04-25)
Multimode Magnetic Field and Position Sensor from Oxford University
Researchers at Oxford University's Physics Department have developed an extraordinarily versatile proximity sensor for the detection of objects, composed of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ceramics, glasses and plastics. This new device could be used as a position or speed sensor in automotive suspension, gearbox and engine management systems,... view more... (2002-08-14)
Ultrafast lasers take 'snapshots' as atoms collide
Using laser pulses that last just 70 femtoseconds (quadrillionths of a second), physicists have observed in greater detail than ever before what happens when atoms collide. view more (2005-10-21)
MIT: New system monitors fetal heartbeat
Tiny fluctuations in a fetus's heartbeat can indicate distress, but currently there is no way to detect such subtle variations except during labor, when it could be too late to prevent serious or even fatal complications. view more (2009-06-02)
UCSD researchers discover inflammation, not obesity, cause of insulin resistance
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have discovered that inflammation provoked by immune cells called macrophages leads to insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-11-07)
Chinese medicinal compound stops formation of cysts in polycystic kidney disease in lab
Using a compound from a centuries-old Chinese traditional medicine, Yale University researcher Dr. Craig Crews has been able to prevent the formation of kidney-destroying cysts in a mouse model of polycystic kidney disease. view more (2007-04-30)
The Role Of Phytochromes In Bacteria Revealed
A research team jointly involving the IRD, the CEA and the CNRS has very recently found phytochromes in a strain of nitrogen-fixing bacterium, Bradyrhizobium (1), symbiont on certain tropical leguminous plants (the Aeschynomene). Techniques of molecular biology, biophysics and biochemistry revealed that the newly-discovered phytochrome has an... view more... (2002-05-13)
New MRI technique quickly builds 3-D images of knees
A faster magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data-acquisition technique will cut the time many patients spend in a cramped magnetic resonance scanner, yet deliver more precise 3-D images of their bodies. view more (2006-07-27)
Raising the alarm when DNA goes bad
Our genome is constantly under attack from things like UV light and toxins, which can damage or even break DNA strands and ultimately lead to cancer and other diseases. view more (2009-08-14)
First tunable, 'noiseless' amplifier may boost quantum computing, communications
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and JILA, a joint institute of NIST and the University of Colorado (CU) at Boulder, have made the first tunable "noiseless" amplifier. view more (2008-10-16)
Brain cells work differently than previously thought
Scientists know that information travels between brain cells along hairlike extensions called axons. For the first time, researchers have found that axons don't just transmit information - they can turn the signal up or down with the right stimulation. view more (2007-08-20)
MPI researchers have for the first been able to map the activity of the brain by means of electrical microstimulation
The combination of electrical microstimulation and FMRT promises substantially more precise insights into the functional organisation or the brain and its circuitry. view more (2005-12-23)
Moths with a nose for learning
Much like Pavlov conditioned his dog to salivate in anticipation of food when a bell rang, insects can be trained to perform certain behaviors when enticed with different smells. view more (2008-10-03)
Ali Shilatifard and Colleagues Aim to Clarify the Definition of "Epigenetics"
Ali Shilatifard, Ph.D., Investigator, has joined with a team of colleagues to propose an operational definition of "Epigenetics" - a rapidly growing research field that investigates heritable alterations in gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in DNA sequence. view more (2009-04-02)
Longest ever follow-up study of a targeted cancer therapy shows excellent results
The overall survival of most people with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) treated with imatinib (Gleevec, STI-571) is extremely high and the relapse rate is quite low, according to new data from a study out of the Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute. view more (2006-06-05)
