Using an important new method that can be applied in the study of other psychiatric illnesses, scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Washington (UW) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), have identified multiple,... view more (2008-03-31)

Revolutionising panel production
Following on from the success of EUREKA project E! 2534 THERMOPOLE, which developed thermoplastic lampposts that save lives by bending on impact, EUREKA project E! 2535 FACTORY PANELFORM has adapted the thermoplastic technology to produce sandwich section panels for a market worth over EUR20... view more (2004-10-19)

Probing biology's dark matter
A typical human mouth teems with as many as 700 different species of microbes. A handful of these have been specifically implicated in promoting gum disease, dental cavities, and bad breath, but for the most part, the make-up of this complex ecosystem and its impact on human health remain largely... view more (2007-07-20)

Gene therapy breakthrough offers hope to patients with inherited high cholesterol levels
New research published in BMC Molecular Biology explains how a new technique for introducing genes into mammalian cells using the virus responsible for warts could be a major step forward in developing gene therapy treatments for people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic disease... view more (2002-05-14)

Global ocean sampling expedition
In three new metagenomic studies published online in the open-access journal PLoS Biology, Craig Venter and his team take advantage of the vast amount of microbial sequence data collected during their Sorcerer II Global Ocean Sampling (GOS) expedition to reveal an unprecedented level of genetic and... view more (2007-03-14)

With The World Summit Looming, Lords Report Warns That Scientists Vital To Conservation Are In Danger Of Extinction
Baroness Walmsley will introduce a debate in the House of Lords today on the agenda for the World Summit on Sustainable Development in the light of the report What on Earth? The Threat to the Science Underpinning Conservation by the Science and Technology Committee. The report, published in May... view more (2002-07-12)

Mammalian neurogenesis breaks into the most static brain region
ifteen years ago, the discovery of adult neurogenesis (the production of new neurons) in the highly static, non-renewable mammalian brain was a breakthrough in neuroscience.   view more (2008-06-04)

Casting a wide net to fight coronaviruses
Coronaviruses-the family of viruses that causes the common cold-gained widespread recognition when the deadly severe acute respiratory syndrome, familiarly known as SARS, killed at least 800 people in 2003.   view more (2005-09-06)

10 Million Euro Technology Project Makes Europe a leader in Biocrystallography
A project to create a common platform throughout Europe for researchers working in the field of 'biological crystallography' is underway thanks to a grant of 10 million euros from the EU's 6th Framework Programme (FP6).   view more (2005-02-08)

Is there really a 'mommy' gene in women?
Basic principles of biology rather than women's newfound economic independence can explain why fewer of them are getting married and having children, and why the trend may only be temporary, says a Queen's researcher.   view more (2007-09-24)

ETH Zurich: Fast and Cheap Detection of Bacteria
Carbohydrates displayed on the surface of cells play critical roles in cell-cell recognition, adhesion, signaling between cells, and as markers for disease progression. Neural cells for instance use carbohydrates to facilitate development and regeneration and viruses recognize carbohydrates to gain... view more (2004-12-17)

MicroRNAs play a big part in gene regulation-and evolution
egulating when and where certain proteins are made is crucial to the normal functioning of living things. To make proteins, information from DNA is transcribed into RNA molecules and then translated into the amino acids building blocks of proteins.   view more (2005-06-24)

SLU scientists have identified the first gene regulating programmed cell death in plant embryos
A research team at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SLU, has succeeded in isolating a novel gene that regulates cell death in plant embryos. This is a world first. The team consists of scientists from the Department of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics, headed by Peter Bozhkov and... view more (2004-06-01)

Understanding the migration of cancer cells
Lamellipodia are veil-shaped protrusions of the plasma membrane, that can turn into upward-curled ruffles if they fail to adhere to the substrate.   view more (2008-06-23)

Unraveling the viral mechanism
Using powerful computer tools and cryo-electron microscopes, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine unmasked the secrets of a tiny virus that infects bacteria and, in doing so, opened the door to a better understanding of a variety of viruses that infect people and animals.   view more (2006-02-02)

Portuguese teacher gets hands-on look at cutting-edge research at EMBL, Germany: The teacher's trip was made possible through generous funding by Funda'§'£o Calouste Gulbenkian (Servi'§o de Educa'§'£o e Bolsas) and Biotechnology enterprise STA
On July 7, 2003, Portuguese teacher Maria Goretti Matos arrived at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany to spend three days in the laboratory, working side-by-side with top scientists. Maria Goretti was one of 15 teachers taking part in the course organized by the... view more (2003-07-24)

NMR advance relies on microscopic detector
Detecting the molecular structure of a tiny protein using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) currently requires two things: a million-dollar machine the size of a massive SUV, and a large sample of the protein under study.   view more (2007-05-16)

Prediction of RNA pseudoknots using heuristic modeling with mapping and sequential folding
