With the genomic revolution radical improvement has been made in methods of detection of ovarian cancer.   view more (2007-11-30)

Only connect ... the latest issue of 'The Biochemist'
Introduction - Connective Tissue Just about every cell in the body synthesises and is in intimate contact with an extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM is a an essential and dynamic component of all tissues, but where the ECM is extensive as in skin, tendons, bone and cartilage the tissues are often... view more (2003-10-01)

UT Southwestern researchers identify new targets for RNAs that regulate genes
Tiny strands of genetic material called RNA - a chemical cousin of DNA - are emerging as major players in gene regulation, the process inside cells that drives all biology and that scientists seek to control in order to fight disease.   view more (2008-07-07)

Study finds HIV protease inhibitor drugs may adversely affect the scaffolding of the cell nucleus
UCLA scientists, along with collaborators from Purdue University, have demonstrated that HIV protease inhibitors - crucial drugs for HIV treatment - block a cellular enzyme important for generating the structural scaffolding for the cell nucleus.   view more (2007-07-17)

Argonne scientists use lasers to align molecules
Protein crystallographers have only scratched the surface of the human proteins important for drug interactions because of difficulties crystallizing the molecules for synchrotron x-ray diffraction.   view more (2008-05-14)

Scientists strike blow in superbugs struggle
Scientists from The University of Manchester have pioneered new ways of tweaking the molecular structure of antibiotics - an innovation that could be crucial in the fight against powerful super bugs.   view more (2007-12-06)

UAB research could improve the prognosis and treatment of lung cancer
A group of scientists led by Professor Xavier Parés of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, has published a research on AKR1B10, an enzyme that is detected in large quantities only in lung cancers, particularly those caused by... view more (2008-01-08)

Ancient 'Out of Africa' migration left stamp on European genetic diversity, Cornell-led study finds
Human migration from Africa to Europe more than 30,000 years ago appears to have left a mark on the genes of Europeans today.   view more (2008-02-21)

"Fleming's Unfinished" is finished at last
A scientist at the University of Sheffield has applied the principles of musicology to science and has finished the paper that Alexander Fleming, the man who discovered the first antibiotic, should have written. The practice is common in classical music, with experts finishing the symphonies of... view more (2002-10-24)

Deep subsurface research to help understand earthquakes
From 8 to 20 October, TU Delft, "Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam" and The University of Utrecht will be conducting an experiment in the south of the Netherlands. The experiment is to find out how the deep subsurface (about 25 to 30 km under the surface) can be profiled with sound waves. It... view more (2001-10-01)

Genetically engineered blood protein can be used to split water into oxygen and hydrogen
Scientists have combined two molecules that occur naturally in blood to engineer a molecular complex that uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.   view more (2006-12-01)

New long-term data suggests Abatacept treatment
New data from the long-term extension of the AIM (Abatacept in Inadequate responders to Methotrexte) trial, announced today at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology, suggests the selective T-cell co-stimulation modulator abatacept sustains inhibition of radiographic progression over 2 years... view more (2006-06-22)

One hit of crystal meth causes birth defects: U of T study
A single prenatal dose of methamphetamine - commonly known as speed - may be enough to cause long-term neurodevelopmental problems in babies, say University of Toronto researchers.   view more (2005-07-27)

Enzymatic reaction rate surprises researchers
Enzymatic reactions, which are crucial in biological processes, can occur much faster than previously thought possible, as researchers at the biophysics department of the Faculty of Exact Sciences of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam have discovered. Their findings were published on line on 5 May in... view more (2003-05-07)

Nanotech and synbio: Americans don't know what's coming
A groundbreaking poll finds that almost half of U.S. adults have heard nothing about nanotechnology, and nearly nine in 10 Americans say they have heard just a little or nothing at all about the emerging field of synthetic biology, according to a new report released by the Project on Emerging... view more (2008-09-30)

Research Europe 25 April issue: stories on MEPs and ethics, the neutron drought, Grenoble genomics, research tax and primate facilities.
MEPs warned off FP6 ethics challenge MEPs have been warned that reopening the issue of ethics in Framework 6 will undermine the whole programme. The warning came during three-way negotiations between the Spanish presidency of the EU, MEPs and the Commission last week. The meetings are intended to... view more (2002-04-25)

Snapin: A protein with therapy potential for autism
A new paper by Firestein and her colleagues at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, examines the role of the protein snapin in nerve branch, or dendrite, patterning and its potential as a drug target in therapies aimed at learning and memory disorders.   view more (2005-08-25)

DNA replication behavior in complex organisms may foreshadow leaps in genomic discoveries
For the first time, findings by scientists at the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) may be paving the way for more efficient analyses and tests related to the replication of cells, and ultimately, to the better understanding of human biology, such as in stem cell research.   view more (2007-08-16)

Yale researchers make cell biology quantitative
Yale researchers have reported a method to count the absolute number of individual protein molecules inside a living cell, and to measure accurately where they are located, two basic hurdles for studying biology quantitatively.   view more (2005-10-20)

Why do rodents' teeth stay sharp? What is the difference between the mouse and the kangaroo?
Answers to these two questions are given by two recent studies on tooth development and evolution. Scientists at the University of Helsinki have identified the gene responsible for tooth enamel formation, which also explains the sharp incisors of rodents. The second study adds to our knowledge on... view more (2004-11-10)

NEW MAPPING TECHNIQUE FOR EARLIER DETECTION OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE (p 201)
An Early Report in this week’s issue of THE LANCET outlines an imaging technique that could identify the early progression of Alzheimer’s disease before the onset of clinical symptoms. The early diagnosis and monitoring of the progression of Alzheimer’s disease is important for... view more (2001-07-18)

Study holds promise for new way to fight AIDS
For years researchers have been trying to understand how a few HIV-infected patients naturally defeat a virus that otherwise overwhelms the immune system.   view more (2006-11-02)

Frog molecule could provide drug treatment for brain tumours
Known as Amphinase, the molecule recognises the sugary coating found on a tumour cell and binds to its surface before invading the cell and inactivating the RNA it contains, causing the tumour to die.   view more (2007-06-27)

Latest study: scientists say no evidence exists that therapod dinosaurs evolved into birds
No good evidence exists that fossilized structures found in China and which some paleontologists claim are the earliest known rudimentary feathers were really feathers at all, a renowned ornithologist says.   view more (2005-10-10)

New malaria enzyme laid bare with help of computer calculations
Using only computers, a research team at Uppsala University in Sweden has managed to reveal both the structure and the function of a newly discovered enzyme from the most dangerous malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum.
