Statistics are insufficient for study of proteins' signal system
Ten years ago great attention was attracted by the discovery that it was possible to demonstrate signal transfer in proteins using statistical methods. In an article in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) Uppsala researchers are now presenting results of experiments... view more (2008-03-27)

Rat kidneys and toad brains communicate in almost the same manner
Dutch researcher Niels Cornelisse used computer models to study the electrochemical communication between cells from rat kidneys and cells from the pituitary gland of a toad species. He found many similarities in the coupling of chemical and electrical signals in these completely different cells.   view more (2004-05-07)

Mouse stem cell line advance suggests potential for IVF-incompetent eggs
Researchers have found that mouse oocytes that fail to become fertilized during in vitro fertilization are nevertheless often capable of succeeding as "cytoplasmic donors" during a subsequent cloning step using so-called nuclear transfer.   view more (2007-02-20)

High Speed Wireless Data Transfer from VTT, Technical Research Centre of Finland
VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland) has developed a fast and flexible radio modem, enabling wireless indoor network. The performance of the modem is approximately 20-200 times better compared to similar commercial (WLAN, Bluetooth) technologies. If compared to GSM and UMTS technologies, the... view more (2002-09-02)

How breastfeeding affects HIV transmission
Mother to child transmission of HIV accounts for a large proportion of HIV infections in children, with many infected as a result of breastfeeding, which requires transfer of the virus across mucosal barriers.   view more (2005-10-21)

Gene transfer using mutant form of good cholesterol cuts vascular plaque and inflammation
Transfer of a gene that produces a mutant form of good cholesterol provides significantly better anti-plaque and anti-inflammation benefits than therapy using the "normal" HDL gene.   view more (2006-09-29)

Imperial College London and Singapore's Exploit Technologies strikes technology transfer business deal
Imperial College London and Exploit Technologies Pte Ltd of Singapore have signed the first international collaboration agreement on technology transfer. The agreement allows for both organisations to access information on potential licensees, strategic partners for spin-out companies, investor... view more (2002-06-12)

Algae understand the language of bacteria
It has hitherto not been known that higher organisms, such as green algae, can communicate with bacteria. But Debra Milton, associate professor at Ume'å University in Sweden, shows in the recent issue of the prominent journal Science that bacteria attract green algae with the aid of signal... view more (2002-11-12)

ASTP Lustrum Conference, Budapest 26-28th of May 2004
The Association of European Science and Technology Transfer Professionals (ASTP) is organising its fifth Annual Conference on 'Best Practices in Transfer Of Science and Technology' on (Wednesday the 26th), Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th of May 2004 at Hotel Margitsziget, Budapest, Hungary.... view more (2004-01-22)

Bright autumn colouration in trees - a warning signal to insects?
Most deciduous trees change colour in autumn. However, both within and between species, there is considerable variation both in the timing and magnitude of autumn colour change. Hamilton and Brown recently proposed a hypothesis to explain this phenomenon. Their idea was that the bright autumn... view more (2003-09-17)

CLRC launches innovation company
CLRC announces the launch of CLIK (Central Laboratory Innovation & Knowledge Transfer Ltd). The new technology transfer company has been set up as the focus for the commercialisation of research carried out at CLRC (Central Laboratory of the Research Councils). CLIK commenced operations 2... view more (2002-05-03)

New advances in detection and identification technology from Oxford University
Increasingly, industry demands technologies that enable detection and identification of targets, ranging from information for traffic tolling and airspace management to patient supervision in hospitals, security passes and stock control.

New Method Confirms Importance of Fungi in Arctic Nitrogen Cycle
A new method to calculate the transfer of nitrogen from Arctic mushrooms to plants is shedding light on how fungi living symbiotically on plant roots transfer vital nutrients to their hosts.   view more (2006-05-10)

Connect the Quantum Dots
By using the unique photophysical properties of quantum dots, researchers Drs. Francisco Raymo, Ibrahim Yildiz, and Massimilliano Tomasulo were able to identify operating principles to probe molecular recognition events with luminescence measurements.   view more (2006-07-19)

Polymers are promising tools for gene therapy
New methods are being developed to cure illnesses with the aid of gene therapy. Polymer technology provides new and versatile possibilities for administering gene doses. "Polymers are used to pack the gene to be transferred into particles of the size of a ten thousandth of a millimetre. These... view more (2002-04-24)

VIDEO IMAGES COULD HELP SPEED UP CITY TRAFFIC
Current methods of traffic control are normally based on inductive loops placed in the road on approaches to traffic lights, to sense the presence of approaching vehicles. Inductive loops are expensive to install and are prone to damage, while also giving limited information about traffic... view more (1999-09-14)

Optical Solution Revives Hands Free Mobile Telephones
Hands free sets for mobile phones may be on the verge of a big comeback thanks to new research by the University of Warwick. Many people used hands free sets in an attempt to avoid what they perceived as a microwave radiation risk from holding a mobile phone close to one`s head. However when it... view more (2002-09-02)

Cloudy day won't rain on laser communications
Just as clouds block the sun, they interfere with laser communications systems, but Penn State researchers are using a combination of computational methods to find the silver lining and punch through the clouds.   view more (2006-11-13)
