Inflammation triggers cell fusions that could protect neurons, Stanford research shows
Chronic inflammation triggers bone marrow-derived blood cells to travel to the brain and fuse with a certain type of neuron up to 100 times more frequently than previously believed, according to a new study from the Stanford University School of Medicine. view more (2008-04-21)
IL-21 receptor plays an essential role in the Th2 immune response
During the immune response cells known as Th2 cells express a variety of cytokines (e.g. interleukin-4, -5, and -13), many of which stimulate B cells to proliferate and produce antibodies. view more (2006-06-16)
New analyses reinforce efficacy of Remicade in treatment of severe psoriasis
Findings from an integrated analysis of data from three pivotal, randomized, placebo-controlled trials showed that at week 10 more than three-quarters of patients with severe psoriasis receiving REMICADE® (infliximab) 3 mg/kg or 5 mg/kg achieved a 75 percent improvement in the chronic, inflammatory skin disease as measured by the Psoriasis... view more...

University of Hawai'i at Manoa team unravels the chemistry of Titan's hazy atmosphere
A team of University of Hawai'i at Mānoa researchers led by Ralf Kaiser, physical chemist at UH Mānoa, unraveled the chemical evolution of the orange-brownish colored atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan, the only solar system body besides Venus and Earth with a solid surface and thick atmosphere. view more (2009-09-15)
Europe's first female professor of rhetoric
Ã-rebro University has established Sweden's first autonomous chair of rhetoric. The position will be filled by Brigitte Mral, who will thereby become the first woman in Europe to hold a chair in rhetoric. Mral has a broad academic background but has devoted a great deal of her research to rhetoric, primarily analyses of opinion-making and... view more... (2003-01-08)
Hecates Tholus Volcano In 3D
Hecates Tholus volcano as seen by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on Mars Express during orbit 32 from an altitude of 275 km. The 3D image on the left requires stereoscopic (red/green) glasses to view. See: http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMTXD2PGQD_0.html The colour image (with north at the top) shows the summit caldera of... view more... (2004-03-01)
Does life exist on other planets?
Recent research argues that an atmosphere rich in oxygen is the most likely source of energy for complex life to exist anywhere in the Universe, thereby limiting the number of places life may exist. view more (2005-06-20)
Glaciers not on simple, upward trend of melting
Two of Greenland's largest glaciers shrank dramatically and dumped twice as much ice into the sea during a period of less than a year between 2004 and 2005. And then, less than two years later, they returned to near their previous rates of discharge. view more (2007-02-13)
Hazy red sunset on extrasolar planet
A team of astronomers have used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to detect, for the first time, strong evidence of hazes in the atmosphere of a planet orbiting a distant star. The discovery comes after extensive observations made recently with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). view more (2007-12-11)
General relativity survives gruelling pulsar test
Astronomers have used a pair of pulsars orbiting each other, found with CSIRO's Parkes telescope in 2003, to show that Einstein's theory of general relativity is correct to within 0.05% - the most stringent limit to date. view more (2006-09-18)
Rosetta all set for Mars swing-by
Rosetta, the European Space Agency's (ESA) spacecraft en route to comet 67P Churyumov Gerasimenko, is gearing up for a swing-by of Mars on 25th February 2007, which will help set it on the correct path to its final destination. view more (2007-02-20)

NCI-Penn Collaboration Finds Targeted Immune Cells Shrink Tumors in Mice
Researchers have generated altered immune cells that are able to shrink, and in some cases eradicate, large tumors in mice. view more (2009-02-11)
tNOX serves as a serum marker for detection and monitoring of disease progression in prostate cancer
A team of researchers at Purdue University has found a protein in the blood that may prove to be more reliable than the standard prostate specific antigen (PSA) test in measuring the extent of prostate cancer. view more (2006-09-14)
Scientists Learn the Origin of Rogue B Cells
Doctors have long wondered why, in some people, the immune system turns against parts of the body it is designed to protect, leading to autoimmune disease. view more (2007-02-08)
New Genetic Screening Method Predicts Behaviour Of Wilms' Tumour In Children (p 385)
Researchers in this week's issue of The Lancet have developed a new method that can accurately predict how tumours will behave by the genes they express. Dr Kathy Pritchard-Jones and her colleagues, from the Institute of Cancer Research, UK, studied children who had the commonest form of Wilms' tumour with favourable histology. Overall, these... view more... (2002-07-31)
Bacteria, beware: New finding about E coli could block infections, lead to better treatments
A newly discovered receptor in a strain of Escherichia coli can be blocked to avert infection, a finding that might aid in developing better therapies to treat bacterial infections resulting in food poisoning, diarrhea or plague. view more (2006-06-27)
Boston College biologists build a better mouse model for cancer research
Researchers at Boston College have developed the first laboratory mouse model that mimics cancer's spread through the human body. Using their novel cell line, the team discovered one of the body's primary defensive cells plays a role in cancer's attack. view more (2008-04-10)
Science on buses goes European
Sci-bus, the biggest bus poster campaign about science ever mounted, will be seen simultaneously by over 8 million people in capitals of every member of the European Union during European Science and Technology Week (4 - 10 November 2002). The Graphic Science Unit at the University of the West of England, Bristol has planned the campaign in... view more... (2002-10-18)
Epilepsy and brain pathology linked together by the protein ADK
The brain of individuals who suffer from epilepsy is characterized by astrogliosis, a brain pathology evidenced by a complex series of changes in the morphology and function of brain cells known as astrocytes. view more (2008-01-03)
