Antibacterial coatings cut infection rates
Putting antibacterial coatings on hip and knee implants and biomedical devices such as catheters could cut infection rates following surgery and significantly reduce health care costs and improve quality of life for patients.   view more (2005-11-30)

Researchers successfully simulate photosynthesis and design a better leaf
University of Illinois researchers have built a better plant, one that produces more leaves and fruit without needing extra fertilizer. The researchers accomplished the feat using a computer model that mimics the process of evolution. Theirs is the first model to simulate every step of the... view more (2007-11-12)

Artificial sight
An engineering team at the University of Dundee has just secured funding to work with European colleagues on the construction of artificial corneas which will allow all cornea replacements to go ahead without the patient having to wait for a donor. The Euro 2.4m project will help people who suffer... view more (2004-06-03)

Baxter and Jerini advance program to develop non-intravenous haemophilia therapy
Baxter AG and Jerini AG today announced progress in their collaborative research program to develop a non-intravenous therapy for the treatment of hemophilia. Extensive in vitro and in vivo analysis has identified several synthetic lead molecules with promising pharmacological properties.   view more (2006-06-20)

Ecosystem of vanishing lake yields valuable bacterium
In the salt flats near a slowly vanishing lake, a team of researchers have found never-before-seen bacterium that could clean up some of humanity's pollution.   view more (2006-10-18)

Virginia Tech researchers announced last year that they had created a nanostructured membrane that incorporates DNA base pairs in order to impart molecular recognition and binding ability to the synthetic material.   view more (2007-03-29)

Poison digs its own grave
Botrytis cinerea (grey mould) has a large arsenal of molecular pumps at its disposal to protect it against toxic substances such as antibiotics, plant defence compounds and fungicides. Dutch researcher Henk-jan Schoonbeek saw how the fungus started to pump out certain toxic substances within just... view more (2004-12-16)

Technique to arrest urinary incontinence
The University Hospital of Navarra is to carry out clinical trials for urinary incontinence using the intraurethral injection of myoblasts (adult stem cells obtained by means of a biopsy of the patient).   view more (2006-10-04)

New "designer" steroid discovered in anonymously provided syringe
Research News from Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry 12 May 2004: A previously unknown synthetic "designer" steroid has been identified as tetrahydrogestrinone (THG). Researchers working out of the UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory in Los Angeles synthesized and characterized the... view more (2004-05-12)

More foot & mouth "likely" - advanced vaccines could control it
Writing in the June Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Dr John Beale warns that future outbreaks of foot & mouth disease (FMD) will be "more likely" as the movement of people and goods continues to increase. Dr Beale suggests that future outbreaks might be controlled using the... view more (2001-05-30)

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)

Hold your breath; Plants may absorb less carbon dioxide than we thought
The world's land plants will probably not be able to absorb as great a share of the rising atmospheric carbon dioxide as some models have predicted.   view more (2006-04-13)

Organic milk is cream of the crop
A new study by Newcastle University proves that organic farmers who let their cows graze as nature intended are producing better quality milk.   view more (2008-05-28)

Antibacterial chemical disrupts hormone activities
A new UC Davis study shows that a common antibacterial chemical added to bath soaps can alter hormonal activity in rats and in human cells in the laboratory-and does so by a previously unreported mechanism.   view more (2007-12-10)

New source for biofuels discovered
A newly created microbe produces cellulose that can be turned into ethanol and other biofuels, report scientists from The University of Texas at Austin who say the microbe could provide a significant portion of the nation's transportation fuel if production can be scaled up.   view more (2008-04-24)

Less Arctic ice means higher risks, experts warn
The International Ice Charting Working Group predicts more marine transportation in the Arctic as sea ice continues to diminish and warns of "significant hazards to navigation," according to a statement released yesterday.   view more (2007-10-29)

Study suggests possible clue to miscarriage (pp 96, 129)
Low concentrations in early pregnancy of a protein involved in the immune system could be a potential indicator for miscarriage, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Around 10-15% of pregnancies result in miscarriage, with no treatment available to prevent fetal... view more (2004-01-07)

Environmentally-friendly pesticide to combat potato cyst nematodes
NWO researchers have produced a substance in the laboratory which wakens potato cyst nematodes (eelworms) from hibernation. Using this substance in a field of potatoes the eelworms came out of hibernation too early and died from starvation. These creatures cause serious damage to potato crops... view more (2001-10-08)

Oxford Biomedical and Kiadis agree collaborative programme on wound healing
Oxford, United Kingdom and Leiden, The Netherlands. 28 January 2003 - Oxford BioMedica plc ('Oxford BioMedica') and Kiadis BV ('Kiadis') have agreed a joint programme directed, in the first instance, at wound healing. The global market for wound healing is estimated to be in excess of $1 billion.... view more (2003-01-28)

OHSU Cancer Institute researchers find novel chemo drug helps treat prostate cancer
Men with a certain type of prostate cancer have been shown to respond to a new chemotherapy drug, Sagopilone, plus prednisone in an international trial led by Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers.   view more (2008-06-02)

Noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging may help predict who's at risk for a heart attack
The study suggests that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—a highly sensitive technique that provides three-dimensional views of tissue at the molecular level—effectively measured macrophages or white blood cells, in the arterial walls of blood vessels.   view more (2007-01-29)

Turning cakes and ale into fertilizer
Many companies, by nature of their business, produce waste material, and what to do with that waste can often cause problems, in terms of both cost and damage to the environment. Now, a Newcastle University research centre has been set up specifically to provide assistance to companies which... view more (2000-02-08)

Scientists in first global study of 'poison' gas in the atmosphere
It was used as a chemical weapon in the trenches in the First World War, but nearly a century later, new research by an international team of scientists has discovered that phosgene is present in significant quantities in the atmosphere.   view more (2007-09-20)

NYU researchers developing molecular delivery vehicles for genetic therapies
