Infrastructure award for integrated approach to bioscience research
A key feature of the new infrastructure will be a centralised Technology Facility. This will provide a world class technology base to serve both the Biology Department and the Structural Biology Laboratory of the University's Department of Chemistry, and to foster synergistic and multidisciplinary approaches to research and training. Crucially,... view more... (1999-12-07)
Marine pathogens spread much faster than their terrestrial counterparts
It has become increasingly clear that pathogen epidemics are as significant a component of marine systems as they are in terrestrial systems. At an National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) working group on Diseases in the Ocean, McCallum, Harvell and Dobson collated data on epidemic spread from both terrestrial and marine... view more...

NIST, DOD, intelligence agencies join forces to secure US cyber infrastructure
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in partnership with the Department of Defense (DOD), the Intelligence Community (IC), and the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS), has released the first installment of a three-year effort to build a unified information security framework for the entire federal government. view more (2009-06-18)
Caltech researchers help unlock the secrets of gene regulatory networks
A quartet of studies by researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) highlight a special feature on gene regulatory networks recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). view more (2009-02-04)
Small RNAs can play critical roles in male infertility/contraception
University of Nevada School of Medicine scientists in the Department of Physiology and Cell Biology have discovered insight into the reproductive workings of the male sex chromosome that may have significant implications for male infertility and contraception. view more (2009-04-10)
Is it safe to go shopping?
Surveillance systems and devices that deactivate magnetic security tags at checkouts must limit the strength of their magnetic fields for safety reasons, according to research published today in the Institute of Physics journal Physics in Medicine and Biology. Researchers from the University of Utah investigated the effect of surveillance devices... view more... (2001-10-03)
BRIT1 allows DNA repair teams access to damaged sites
Like a mechanic popping the hood of a car to get at a faulty engine, a tumor-suppressing protein allows cellular repair mechanisms to pounce on damaged DNA by overcoming a barrier to DNA access. view more (2009-06-22)
Bermuda 'rectangle' beckons for UK's leading unmanned underwater vehicle
Next week (2-3 September), marine technologists from around the world will gather in Southampton to take part in the largest ever Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Showcase (UUVS 98). view more (1998-08-28)
Executable biology -- Computer science sheds light on animal development
By applying the techniques of computer engineering to a mechanistic diagram describing the development of the Nematode C. elegans, a group of researchers in Switzerland has been able to tease out what laboratory experiments have not - how and when the crucial cross-talk between cellular signaling pathways takes place in order to determine the... view more...

First German Center for Modeling and Simulation in the Life Sciences Established in Heidelberg
The first German center for modeling and simulation in the life sciences (BIOMS) opens today in Heidelberg. In international terms, Heidelberg is already an outstanding location for the life sciences and scientific computing. At the new Center, modeling and computer simulation will be used for research on biological systems. With these methods... view more... (2004-02-12)
Listeriosis infection primer for health-care providers and the public
With the current outbreaks of listeriosis in Canada connected to deli meats and cheese, CMAJ is releasing guidelines for health care professionals and the general public about symptoms, who is at risk, symptom management, and how to reduce the risk of listeriosis. view more (2008-09-12)
Youngest solar systems detected by U-M astronomers
Astronomers at the University of Michigan have found what are believed to be some of the youngest solar systems yet detected. view more (2007-11-30)
Can fruit flies help treat stroke and transplant patients?
Reperfusion injury takes place when an animal or an organ is starved of oxygen, then exposed to oxygen again. This occurs in strokes and organ transplants and causes many deaths per year. view more (2007-12-05)
Media Invitation - Mastering the Complexity of Biological Data
Workshop "Ontology for Biology" at Villa Bosch, Heidelberg (November 7-8, 2002) Advances in biotechnology and bioinformatics are generating a huge amount of information that can be used to better understand the secrets of life and the cause of diseases like cancer, AIDS, diabetes, etc. Scientists analyzing this information will have to face... view more...

New NIAID program aims to model immune responses and key infectious diseases
A new program at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), aims to better understand the complex biochemical networks that regulate the interactions between infectious organisms and the human or animal cells they infect. view more (2006-07-13)
18th Century Reverend Enlightens Evolutionary Biologists
Evolutionary biologists are often interested in reconstructing how different genes evolved from each other. Large numbers of genes can now be sequenced quickly but the development of statistical methods has lagged behind. To analyse even moderately large data sets under realistic evolutionary models, researchers have been forced to use... view more... (2001-12-20)
£25m University building open for business
Researchers were busy moving into the University of York`s new £25 million Biology Building today. The building, which will be dedicated to York`s cutting-edge biology research, gives researchers working in many different fields of biology access to the very latest scientific equipment and techniques. The investment will allow new research... view more... (2002-07-01)
UU Research Pushing Back the Frontiers of Space
Cutting edge research at the University of Ulster into how to make complex computers and communications systems manage themselves could power the next generation of US space probes, it was revealed today. view more (2004-12-01)
Drug discovery process more accurate, less expensive using novel mass spectrometry application
Cancer and cell biology experts at the University of Cincinnati (UC) have developed a new mass spectrometry-based tool they say provides more precise, cost-effective data collection for drug discovery efforts. view more (2009-09-18)
Fitting in: Newly evolved genes adopt a variety of strategies to remain in the gene pool
When Mother Nature creates an identical copy of a gene in an organism's genome, the duplicated copy is usually deleted, inactivated, or otherwise rendered nonfunctional in order to prevent genetic redundancy and to preserve biological homeostasis. view more (2005-10-03)
