EMBC extends agreement with EMBO
At their recent meeting, the European Molecular Biology Conference (EMBC) voted unanimously to support the European Molecular Biology Organization's (EMBO) activities for nine further years. "This decision is particularly interesting at a time when the concept of a European Research Council is actively discussed," said Julio Celis,... view more... (2002-08-20)
Retinol for combating leukemia cells
Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is present in milk, liver, egg yolk, butter and other foodstuffs and as carotene in vegetables that have a yellow-orange colour, such as carrots and pumpkins. view more (2006-01-09)
Launch of the first standard graphical notation for biology
Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and their colleagues in 30 labs worldwide have released a new set of standards for graphically representing biological information - the biology equivalent of the circuit diagram in electronics. view more (2009-08-12)
Nanoreactors for Reaction Cascades
Living cells are highly complex synthetic machines: Numerous multistep reactions run simultaneously side by side and with unbelievable efficiency and specificity. For these mainly enzymatic reactions to work so well collectively, nature makes use of a variety of concepts. view more (2007-08-21)
McGill researchers overcome chemotherapy resistance in the lab
Researchers from McGill University's Faculty of Medicine have discovered a compound that reduces resistance to chemotherapy agents used to treat cancer. Their results were published in the June issue of The Journal of Clinical Investigation (JCI). view more (2008-06-30)
Making alternative fuel becomes more efficient with dual-catalyst system: UNC-Rutgers study
As the United States' oil reserves dwindle, some say the nation will have to rely on synthetic petroleum fuel made from its large stores of coal. view more (2006-04-14)
The narrow line between love and jealousy
A new study carried out at the University of Haifa has found that the hormone oxytocin, the "love hormone", which affects behaviors such as trust, empathy and generosity, also affects opposite behaviors, such as jealousy and gloating. view more (2009-11-12)
New £6m biocentre to revolutionise the production of safer medicines

DNA 'tattoos' link adult, daughter stem cells in planarians
Unlike some parents, adult stem cells don't seem to mind when their daughters get a tattoo. In fact, they're willing to pass them along. view more (2008-09-11)
Environmental toxicants like lead, mercury target stem cells
Low levels of toxic substances cause critical stem cells in the central nervous system to prematurely shut down. That is the conclusion of a study published today in the on-line journal PLoS Biology. view more (2007-02-06)
A key to male fertility
Until now, mutations of the LH hormone receptor were the only explanation known for sexual precocity in boys. A team at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC, CNRS / Inserm / Université Louis Pasteur de Strasbourg)), in collaboration with researchers at the University of Dallas and the University of Louvain, has... view more...

College science success linked to math and same-subject preparation
Researchers at Harvard University and the University of Virginia have found that high school coursework in one of the sciences generally does not predict better college performance in other scientific disciplines. view more (2007-07-27)
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 open access journal set to challenge Nature, Science and Cell
Journal of Biology (http://www.jbiol.com) is a new international journal, published by BioMed Central, which provides immediate open access to research articles of exceptional interest. It will only publish research articles of the highest standard, similar to those published by Nature, Science or Cell. While these journals restrict access to only... view more... (2002-05-17)
New oxidation methods streamline synthesis of important compounds
One of the fundamental challenges facing organic synthesis in the 21st century is the need to significantly increase the efficiency with which carbon frameworks can be constructed and functionalized. view more (2007-08-03)
How moths key into the scent of a flower
