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)

New Center for Biosystems Science and Engineering in Basel
In Autumn 2005 the new Center for Biosystems Science and Engineering of ETH Zurich will open its doors in Basel. In the last few months, various committees have developed a scientific concept for the Center and worked up profiles for the four first professors. The positions will be posted at the end of this month. Novartis will contribute one... view more... (2004-11-15)

Social habits of cells may hold key to fighting diseases
Scientists in Manchester are working to change the social habits of living cells - an innovation that could bring about cleaner and greener fuel and help fight diseases such as cancer and diabetes.   view more (2007-08-27)

Systems biology brings hope of speeding up drug development
Almost every day brings news of an apparent breakthrough against cancer, infectious diseases, or metabolic conditions like diabetes, but these rarely translate into effective therapies or drugs, and even if they do clinical development usually takes well over a decade.   view more (2008-11-20)

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)

Building an Olympiad
The recent New Year Honours list featured a remarkable woman, who provided the driving force needed to enter Britain into international competition. Norma Broadbridge, MBE FIBiol provided the energy and sheer hard work that was required to establish the UK in a previously untried arena. Science olympiads have almost 50 years' experience of... view more... (2002-01-04)

Toward a systems biology map of iron metabolism
Scientists at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, and the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech have taken the first steps toward constructing a systems biology map of iron metabolism.   view more (2009-04-29)

Study maps life in extreme environments
A team of biologists have developed a model mapping the control circuit governing a whole free living organism. This is an important milestone for the new field of systems biology and will allow the researchers to model how the organism adapts over time in response to its environment.   view more (2007-12-28)

Caltech scientists help launch the first standard graphical notation for biology
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and their colleagues in 30 laboratories 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)

Turtles hitchhike across the disciplines
Many species of turtle travel huge distances during their lives, especially open-water feeders such as leatherbacks. A new approach, to be presented at the Society for Experimental biology on Tuesday 1st April, combines field observations with oceanographic theories to attempt to answer some of the puzzles in open-sea turtle biology. Oceanic data... view more... (2003-03-31)

The European Molecular Biology Organization announces the first international practical workshop for biology teachers
Following in the footsteps of last year`s very successful EMBO workshop for German biology teachers, the EMBO initiative goes international on 5 - 6 July 2002 at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany. Attracting secondary school biology teachers from across Europe, the workshop comprises scientific lectures from... view more... (2002-06-25)

Novel genetic screens provide panoramic views of cellular systems
Despite the rise of systems biology, many geneticists continue to probe genes in isolation. They even use cutting-edge RNA interference (RNAi) technology to knock down one gene at a time. This approach often yields a narrow view of cellular systems.   view more (2008-10-17)

The emerging story of plant roots
An international group of European and US scientists led by the Centre for Plant Integrative Biology at The University of Nottingham have uncovered a fascinating new insight into the unseen side of plant biology - the root.   view more (2008-07-16)

Risk of frailty in older women dependent on multisystem abnormalities
A study published online ahead of press in the Gerontology Society of America's Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences reports that the condition of frailty in older adults is associated with a critical mass of abnormal physiological systems, over and above the status of each individual system, and that the relationship is nonlinear.   view more (2009-07-31)

Discovering the secret code behind photosynthesis
Scientists from Queen Mary, University of London have discovered that an ancient system of communication found in primitive bacteria, may also explain how plants and algae control the process of photosynthesis.   view more (2009-02-25)
