Nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term memory in snails
Snails can teach us a great deal about how we form memories, according to a group of neuroscientists at the University of Sussex. Research by Dr Ildik'³ Kemenes, Professor Paul Benjamin, Professor Michael O'Shea and colleagues shows that nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term memory in snails. This is of crucial importance... view more... (2002-02-18)
NITRIC OXIDE BENEFIT FOR INFANTS UNDERGOING CONGENITAL HEART SURGERY (p 1464)
The cardiovascular problems associated with surgery for congenital heart disease in infants may be reduced with the use of postoperative nitric oxide, according to research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Congenital heart disease is present in five to ten per 1000 livebirths. If surgery is required, the most common defects are... view more... (2000-10-25)
Growing glowing nanowires to light up the nanoworld
The nano world is getting brighter. Nanowires made of semiconductor materials are being used to make prototype lasers and light-emitting diodes with emission apertures roughly 100 nm in diameter-about 50 times narrower than conventional counterparts. view more (2006-05-26)
New intestinal disease charted by Swedish researcher
Microscopic colitis is a newly discovered inflammatory intestinal disease that occurs in two different forms, lymphocytary colitis and collagenic colitis. Ã-rebro University, Sweden, is on the cutting edge of research on these diseases, and Martin Olesen is one of first scientists in the country to write a dissertation on the subject, defending... view more...

Researchers uncover E. coli's defense mechanism
The pathogenic forms of E. coli and Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans through undercooked meat, unwashed vegetables and cross contamination from surfaces on which these foods were prepared. view more (2005-09-29)
Opiates and cannaboids: the fight against pain
Opiates and cannaboids, apart from being drugs, have curative properties. Thus, opiates (morphine, methadone, etc.) have been used for some time as a pain-reducer and many cannaboids have also analgesic properties. Regarding their curative aspects, it is very important to know the effects produced after a prolonged period of treatment. Carrying... view more... (2003-03-18)
Sildenafil prevents rebound pulmonary hypertension in infants
A single dose of sildenafil, a blood vessel widening vasodilator, prevented rebound pulmonary hypertension and significantly reduced the duration of mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit (ICU) infants being withdrawn from inhaled nitric oxide therapy. view more (2006-11-01)

An insulator can now be transformed to conduct electricity by an ordinary camera flash. view more (2009-08-13)
Engineers make first 'active matrix' display using nanowires
Engineers have created the first "active matrix" display using a new class of transparent transistors and circuits, a step toward realizing applications such as e-paper, flexible color monitors and "heads-up" displays in car windshields. view more (2008-04-01)
NOAA study shows nitrous oxide now top ozone-depleting emission
Nitrous oxide has now become the largest ozone-depleting substance emitted through human activities, and is expected to remain the largest throughout the 21st century, NOAA scientists say in a new study. view more (2009-08-28)
Research points to more effective catalyst materials for petrochemical industry
Nickel oxide is a very important chemical in modern industrial processes. It is commonly used as a catalyst within the petrochemical industry in areas like the synthesis of olefin gas and the reforming reaction of methane. view more (2006-05-12)
No laughing matter -- bacteria are releasing a serious greenhouse gas
Unlike carbon dioxide and methane, laughing gas has been largely ignored by world leaders as a worrying greenhouse gas. But nitrous oxide must be taken more seriously. view more (2008-03-31)
Probing a rare material spin state at NIST
A team of international physicists that includes researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has found experimental evidence of a highly sought-after type of arrangement of atomic magnetic moments, or spins, in a series of materials. view more (2007-09-17)
Emory scientists discover unique binding method for essential cellular protein ubiquitin
Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine have uncovered new information about the molecular pathway used by ubiquitin, an essential protein that helps regulate the amounts and locations of other proteins within cells. view more (2006-03-24)
Aminoguanidine: An attractive line as a multi-modal avenue to overcome tumor
Aminoguanidine is a compound that exerts multiple biological actions. Aminoguanidine has well described antioxidant properties and is also an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthases, the enzymes that produce nitric oxide. view more (2009-03-09)
Argonne scientists discover networks of metal nanoparticles are culprits in alloy corrosion
Oxide scales are supposed to protect alloys from extensive corrosion, but scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered metal nanoparticle chinks in this armor. view more (2008-08-05)
Cerium oxide nanotubes get noticed
Chemists and materials scientists often study "nanotubes" - capsule-shaped molecules only a few billionths of a meter (nanometers) in width. view more (2006-03-29)
Gene research gets faster thanks to Aston University team
Aston University researchers have won a BBSRC research grant worth over £300,000 to study one of the most exciting areas of science today - biomolecular interactions. The Aston research team has invented a better, more effective method of randomising genes for laboratory research. Dr Anna Hine, who is leading the research and was the primary... view more...

Increased risk of coronary heart disease among UK Indian Asians may be genetic
The increased rates of premature coronary heart disease among UK Indian Asians may be due to genetic or other as yet undiscovered risk factors, rather than the usual suspects, suggests research in Heart. view more (1999-04-26)
'Zinc Zipper' Plays Key Role In Hospital-Acquired Infections
Hospital-acquired infections that are resistant to traditional antibiotic treatment have become increasingly common in recent years, confounding health care professionals and killing thousands of Americans. view more (2008-12-05)
