New research team to tackle disease
A new Immunology and Infection Unit, which will research how disease occurs and how our immune systems respond, opens shortly in York. The Unit is a joint venture of the Department of Biology at York and the Hull York Medical School (HYMS). Professor Paul Kaye, who joins the University of York from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical... view more... (2004-03-15)
Oregon researchers show how resident bacteria shape gut development
University of Oregon researchers have shown that bacteria residing in the intestine shape gut development by means of several distinct signaling mechanisms. view more (2006-06-22)
Scaled-down genome may power up E. coli's ability in lab, industry
By stripping the E. coli genome of vast tracts of its genetic material-hundreds of apparently inconsequential genes-a team of Wisconsin researchers has created a leaner and meaner version of the bacterium that is a workhorse of modern biology and industry. view more (2006-04-28)
Joint research: Probing the mysteries of a surprisingly tough hydrogel
Some 46 million people suffer from arthritis in the United States alone. The worst cases require painful surgeries to drill holes in and reinforce joints. view more (2008-03-12)
New developments in biomarkers for epithelial ovarian cancer
With the genomic revolution radical improvement has been made in methods of detection of ovarian cancer. view more (2007-11-30)
Novel light-sensitive compounds show promise for cancer therapy
Chemists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have developed novel compounds that show promise for photodynamic cancer therapy, which uses light-activated drugs to kill tumor cells. view more (2009-06-17)
New research on structure of bones raises questions for treatment of osteoporosis
Researchers have discovered that the structure of human bones is vastly different than previously believed - findings which will have implications for how some debilitating bone disorders are treated. view more (2007-10-17)
Synthetic adhesive mimics sticking powers of gecko and mussel
Geckos are remarkable in their ability to scurry up vertical surfaces and even move along upside down. Their feet stick but only temporarily, coming off of surfaces again and again like a sticky note. But put those feet underwater, and their ability to stick is dramatically reduced. view more (2007-07-19)
Expert says nanotechnology should look to Mother Nature
Professor Richard Jones of the University of Sheffield has today outlined the possibilities of using nature's secrets to develop nanotechnology, and casts doubt on some popular assumptions about the science, including the premise that we may create nano-robots with the power to reduce the world to 'grey goo'. Professor Jones is internationally... view more... (2004-08-11)
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 unexplored. view more (2007-07-20)
Biological FM signal maintains inflammation in cancer, asthma and other diseases
A study published in Science examines a key player in conditions such as cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis and asthma and has shown that cells use a sophisticated communication system to coordinate responses to infection and maintain inflammation in the body. view more (2009-04-10)
Hormones may affect how brain listens, Emory study finds
From zebra fish to humans, reproductive hormones govern behavioral responses to courtship signals. A new Emory University study conducted in songbirds suggests that hormones may also modulate the way the auditory system processes courtship signals. view more (2006-05-03)
RTS and Syrrx Announce Partnership
RTS Life Science International (RTS) and Syrrx announce a partnership to develop and market high throughput structural biology automation solutions. This will be known as the HTSB Factory™ and it allows the user to set-up hundreds of thousands of experiments for a target and increase the crystallization rate significantly. Dr. Wendell... view more... (2003-05-01)
Study: cannabis a double-edged sword
A new neurobiological study has found that a synthetic form of THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, is an effective anti-depressant at low doses. However, at higher doses, the effect reverses itself and can actually worsen depression and other psychiatric conditions like psychosis. view more (2007-10-24)
"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 great classical composers, but has probably never... view more... (2002-10-24)
FEMS-Lwoff Award won by Professor Sir David Hopwood, FRS
Professor Sir David Hopwood of the Department of Molecular Microbiology at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK, has been named as the recipient of the FEMS-Lwoff Award for outstanding scientific work in the field of Microbiology. Professor Hopwood's research has concentrated on the genetics and biochemistry of the actinomycete bacteria of the... view more... (2003-05-21)
High-resolution CT scan modeling for creating facial implants aids in facial reconstruction surgery
A preliminary study suggests that high-resolution computed tomography (CT) modeling allows surgeons to custom-design acrylic implants prior to reconstructive surgery for patients with severe defects in their faces and eye cavities. view more (2006-11-21)
New discovery gives tuberculosis vaccine a shot in the arm
A new article appearing in the March 2009 issue of the Journal of Leukocyte Biology may lead to improvements in the efficacy of the current tuberculosis vaccine. view more (2009-02-27)
Oxidized form of a common vitamin may bring relief for ulcerative colitis
New research published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology finds retinoic acid may alleviate ulcerative colitis and similar irritable bowel diseases. view more (2009-10-01)
From sow’s ear to new skin – new treatments for old wounds
Sterilised, cell-free pigskin* is just one of the products being developed by scientists to help the body recover from injury or disease without scarring or forming chronic, non-healing wounds. The material helps the natural healing process by acting as a matrix over which skin cells are encouraged to grow, says Dr Ian Kill from Brunel University... view more... (2001-08-30)
