Real super-bugs can save the planet - Microbiology Today: November 2004 issue
Beneficial bacteria have fast-tracked evolution to solve some of our pollution problems, according to an article in the November 2004 issue of Microbiology Today, the quarterly magazine of the Society for General Microbiology. Using the same mechanisms that have allowed hospital superbugs to... view more (2004-10-26)

Synthetic aperture radar may soon be used for reconnaissance on small UAVs
Researchers at the National Nuclear Security Administration's Sandia National Laboratories flew what is probably the world's smallest fine-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in May, making real-time images from the 6-kilometer range with a resolution of four inches.   view more (2005-06-22)

Virginia Tech scientists develop process for creating biocompatible fibers
Scientists at Virginia Tech have developed a single-step process for creating nonwoven fibrous mats from a small organic molecule - creating a new nanoscale material with potential applications where biocompatible materials are required, such as scaffolds for tissue growth and drug delivery.   view more (2006-01-20)

UK Study Suggests Possible Link Between Colorectal Cancer And Human Growth Hormone Therapy (p 273)
Authors of an observational study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight a possible link between human growth hormone therapy and an increased risk of colorectal cancer. The investigators comment that further evidence is required before firm conclusions can be made, and stress that there is... view more (2002-07-24)

Water is 'designer fluid' that helps proteins change shape, scientists say
Ubiquitous on Earth, water also has been found in comets, on Mars and in molecular clouds in interstellar space. Now, scientists say this common fluid is not as well understood as we thought.    view more (2008-08-07)

Drug resistance may travel same path as quorum sensing
The cellular "pumps" associated with multi-drug resistance in bacteria may also be involved in exporting signals responsible for cell-cell communication, a process known as quorum sensing.   view more (2006-02-07)

Lycopene slows human prostate tumour growth in mice and combining it with vitamin E is even better
A study by Dutch and German researchers has provided evidence that lycopene may be able to inhibit the growth of prostate tumours and that its effect may be enhanced if it is combined with vitamin E.   view more (2004-09-28)

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)

Physicists reveal water's secrets in journal 'Science'
It's essential to all life, and numerous research papers are published about it every year. Yet there are still secrets to reveal about water, that seemingly simple compound we know as H2O.   view more (2007-03-05)
