18th Century Reverend Enlightens Evolutionary Biologists
Evolutionary biologists are often interested in reconstructing how different genes evolved from each other. Large numbers of genes can now be sequenced quickly but the development of statistical methods has lagged behind. To analyse even moderately large data sets under realistic evolutionary models, researchers have been forced to use... view more... (2001-12-20)
£25m University building open for business
Researchers were busy moving into the University of York`s new £25 million Biology Building today. The building, which will be dedicated to York`s cutting-edge biology research, gives researchers working in many different fields of biology access to the very latest scientific equipment and techniques. The investment will allow new research... view more... (2002-07-01)
Issue 1 of the new journal 'Molecular BioSystems' launched
Celebrations are underway at the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), where the first issue of the new chemical biology journal Molecular BioSystems has just been published. The electronic issue is freely available at www.molecularbiosystems.org. The new journal has particular relevance to the -omic sciences, systems biology and molecular medicine... view more...

Gloves off in war on needles
NEEDLESTICK or scalpel injuries put healthcare workers at risk of life-threatening infections such as hepatitis C and HIV. But a simple pair of gloves that automatically disinfects the wounds could boost the chances of avoiding infection. More than 1 in 3 nurses in the UK have been stuck by a needle previously used to inject a patient, and 7 per... view more... (2003-05-28)
Genes in the countryside? Assessing the environmental impact of genetically modified crops
Risk assessment for genetically modified crops is technically feasible by focusing on the genes and their effects on the plants and the populations of which they are a part. Combining research in natural populations, experiments with ""modified"" plants, and mathematical modelling provides important insights into the potential environmental impact... view more...

Researchers Examine Protein Vital to Reproduction Process, Regulation May Increase Chances of Pregnancy
In its early and most critical stages, human reproduction requires precise, vital functions. The role of one sperm-delivered protein, which is crucial to the process, is being closely observed by scientists from the United States and Canada. Lab tests in recent years have produced valuable information and hopes of regulating that protein to... view more... (2007-03-20)
Insect population growth likely accelerated by warmer climate
Insects have proven to be highly adaptable organisms, able through evolution to cope with a variety of environmental changes, including relatively recent changes in the world's climate. But like something out of a scary Halloween tale, new University of Washington research suggests insects' ability to adapt to warmer temperatures carries an... view more... (2006-10-31)
From delicious to death: Understanding taste
Despite the significance of taste to both human gratification and survival, a basic understanding of this primal sense is still unfolding. view more (2008-02-26)
Elastic interactions of membrane proteins
Cellular survival relies crucially on the ability to receive and communicate signals from and to the outside world. A major part of this regulation and communication is performed by proteins within the membrane of a cell. view more (2007-05-04)
Faster method to create antibodies for disease research
Faster method to create antibodies for disease research British scientists are pioneering a new technique to produce large numbers of antibodies quickly and reliably to help the study of dangerous bacteria. view more (2005-10-07)
Exploring the final frontier: Disease proposed as major barrier to Mars and beyond
New research published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology suggests that prolific virulence and growth of bacteria, coupled with reduced production of antibodies could limit future space travel. view more (2009-10-30)
Curacyte scientists discover new anti-tumour agents
Curacyte AG, a Munich-based drug development company focused on novel treatments of inflammatory diseases, thrombotic disorders and cancer has announced today that its scientists have discovered a series of novel small molecule inhibitors of matriptase, a trypsin-like serine protease. Matriptase is an important mediator in the degradation of the... view more... (2003-06-17)
Got zinc? New zinc research suggests novel therapeutic targets
Everyone knows that vitamins "from A to zinc" are important for good health. Now, a new research study in the August 2009 print issue of the Journal of Leukocyte Biology suggests that zinc may be pointing the way to new therapeutic targets for fighting infections. view more (2009-07-31)
Largest synthetic gene ever built offers insights into anti-malarial drug resistance
Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center say they are moving closer to understanding why the most lethal form of human malaria has become resistant to drug treatment in the past three decades. view more (2007-06-07)
Researchers determine why wolves not dispersing as fast as expected in Yellowstone
In 1995, 14 wolves were transferred to Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. from the Canadian Rocky Mountains, with 17 more joining them the following year. view more (2006-11-02)
First step to converting solar energy using 'artificial leaf'
An international team of researchers has modified chlorophyll from an alga so that it resembles the extremely efficient light antennae of bacteria. view more (2009-06-30)
Targeted tumor therapy: When antagonists do the better job
Targeted tumor therapy lobs toxic payloads directly into tumors to destroy cancer cells while leaving normal cells unharmed. view more (2006-10-23)
Greatest thing since sliced bread: New data offer important clues toward improving wheat yields
Breed a better crop of wheat? That's exactly what a team of researchers from Kansas State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture hope their research will lead to. view more (2009-03-11)
Credit crunch threatens new medicines
The global financial crisis could seriously delay the discovery and production of many new life-saving medicines, warns a major international conference today. view more (2008-10-27)
New study confirms the ecological virtues of organic farming
Organic farming has long been touted as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional agriculture. view more (2006-03-07)
