Harvard researchers publish MRI images of genes in action in the living brain
Biologists have just confirmed what poets have known for centuries: eyes really are windows of the soul-or at least of the brain. view more (2008-03-31)
New evidence that popular dietary supplement may help prevent, treat cataracts
Researchers are reporting evidence from tissue culture experiments that the popular dietary supplement carnosine may help to prevent and treat cataracts, a clouding of the lens of the eye that is a leading cause of vision loss worldwide. view more (2009-07-16)
New President of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft
Professor Hans-Jörg Bullinger is well initiated in Europe's leading institution for applied research. He began his career with the organization 30 years ago, working alongside Professor Hans-Jürgen Warnecke, who at that time was director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA in Stuttgart. He has now... view more... (2002-11-27)
New Method for Measuring Residual Stress Developed at Oxford
An inventor in Oxford University’s Department of Engineering Science has developed a new portable instrument for the measurement of residual stress in engineering components and structures. view more (2002-11-13)
Inhaled tuberculosis vaccine more effective than traditional shot
A novel aerosol version of the most common tuberculosis (TB) vaccine, administered directly to the lungs as an oral mist, offers significantly better protection against the disease in experimental animals than a comparable dose of the traditional injected vaccine, researchers report this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-03-13)
Penn researchers enlist proteins to 'switch on' heart tissue repair system in animal models
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine are utilizing a protein to "switch on" the ability to repair damaged heart tissue. view more (2006-07-10)
Prodrug could help curb skin toxicity related to EGFR-inhibiting cancer drugs
There may be a way around the harsh skin toxicity associated with a widely used cancer drug, according to a study published online this week in Cancer Biology and Therapy by researchers from City of Hope and the Kimmel Cancer at Jefferson. view more (2009-09-02)
Virtual biopsy cuts out need for diagnostic surgery
A non-invasive diagnostic tool to detect surface cancers quickly and painlessly using technology currently employed by gyms to calculate body composition has been developed by a QUT PhD medical physics researcher. view more (2008-01-18)
WT1, male fertility and tumorigenesis
Detailed in an upcoming report in G&D, Dr. Miles Wilkinson and colleagues use a new tissue-specific RNAi approach they developed to identify a novel postnatal role for the Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) tumor suppressor in spermatogenesis. view more (2006-01-16)
New minimally invasive sampling technique allows for earlier diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
A new optical technology, coupled with routine endoscopy, may enable doctors to detect the subtle tell-tale traces of early pancreatic cancer. view more (2007-08-02)
Getting better visualization of joint cartilage through cationic CT contrast agents
In its quest to find new strategies to treat osteoarthritis and other diseases, a Boston University-led research team has reported finding a new computer tomography contrast agent for visualizing the special distributions of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) - the anionic sugars that account for the strength of joint cartilage. view more (2009-09-02)
A transplant in time
In hemophilia, a mutated gene prevents the production of a critical blood-clotting protein. Treatments for hemophilia and other such genetic diseases, when they exist, may consist of risky blood transfusions or expensive enzyme replacement therapy. view more (2007-01-02)
New strategy for mending broken hearts?
By mimicking the way embryonic stem cells develop into heart muscle in a lab, Duke University bioengineers believe they have taken an important first step toward growing a living "heart patch" to repair heart tissue damaged by disease. view more (2009-10-12)
Media invitation: Can we deliver Sustainability?
The role of chemical engineers within the sustainability debate is the subject of an evening discussion organised by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) on Thursday 29th January 2004 commencing at 4.30pm. Held at IChemE's London office, 1 Portland Place, speakers will include Chair of the Sustainable Development Commission and well... view more... (2004-01-20)
Scarring key to link between obesity and diabetes
The team, in collaboration with University Hospital Aintree, the University of Warwick and researchers in Sweden, found that people classified as obese and those with pre-diabetes have raised levels of a protein called SPARC, that can cause tissue scarring. view more (2009-08-14)
Dr Lars Abrahmsén appointed Chief Scientific Officer of Affibody
Affibody today announced the strengthening of the management team by the appointment of Dr Lars Abrahmsén as Chief Scientific Officer. Lars Abrahmsén succeeds Stefan St'åhl, one of Affibody's founders. Professor St'åhl wished to return to academia, and has returned to his academic professorship, but remains as scientific... view more... (2004-01-27)
An artificial cornea is in sight, thanks to biomimetic hydrogels
If eyes are "the windows of the soul," corneas are the panes in those windows. They shield the eye from dust and germs. They also act as the eye's outermost lens, contributing up to 75 percent of the eye's focusing power. view more (2006-09-12)
Research findings contradict myth of high engineering dropout rate
Research findings suggest that, contrary to popular belief, engineering does not have a higher dropout rate than other majors and women do just as well as men, information that could lead to a strategy for boosting the number of U.S. engineering graduates. view more (2009-08-05)
Breakthrough Computer Chip Lithography Method Developed at RIT
A new computer chip lithography method under development at Rochester Institute of Technology has led to imaging capabilities beyond that previously thought possible. view more (2006-02-13)
Early signs that adult bone-marrow stem cells could regenerate brain tissue (p 1432)
Findings of a preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that transplanted adult bone-marrow cells could regenerate nerve cells in the brains of human stem-cell recipients. These early findings, if confirmed in future research, have implications for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease. Ethical... view more... (2004-04-28)
