Scientists reveal how deadly toxin hijacks cells
Scientists have pinpointed exactly how botulinum neurotoxin A-a potential agent of biological warfare and one of the most lethal toxins known to man-is able to sneak into cells. view more (2006-03-17)
Green Plants Share Bacterial Toxin
A toxin that can make bacterial infections turn deadly is also found in higher plants, researchers at UC Davis, the Marine Biology Laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass. view more (2006-11-07)
New Target Found to Fight, Treat Parkinson's
Neuroscientists from the University at Buffalo have described for the first time how rotenone, an environmental toxin linked specifically to Parkinson's disease, selectively destroys the neurons that produce dopamine, the neurotransmitter critical to body movement and muscle control. view more (2005-08-25)
Malaria researchers identify new mosquito virus
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Malaria Research Institute have identified a previously unknown virus that is infectious to Anopheles gambiae-the mosquito primarily responsible for transmitting malaria. view more (2008-08-22)
Sea creature's toxin could lead to promising cancer treatment
A toxin derived from a reclusive sea creature resembling a translucent doughnut has inspired UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers to develop a related compound that shows promise as a cancer treatment. view more (2007-02-06)
Whooping cough persistence traced to key toxin
A key toxin associated with whooping cough helps the germs resist the human immune system and infect vaccinated populations. view more (2005-12-19)

Australian scientists have identified a highly potent toxin that causes severe gastrointestinal illnesses, including food poisoning. view more (2006-10-11)
'Botox' can ease writer's cramp
"Botox"' the popular anti- wrinkle treatment, can also ease writer's cramp, suggests a small study published ahead of print in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. view more (2006-12-21)
Eating and body weight regulated by specific neurons
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine provide direct evidence that two parts of a neuronal system, one that promotes eating and another that suppresses eating, are critical for the acute regulation of eating and body weight. view more (2005-09-14)
Gene guards grain-producing grasses so people and animals can eat
Purdue University and USDA-Agricultural Research Service scientists have discovered that a type of gene in grain-producing plants halts infection by a disease-causing fungus that can destroy crops vital for human food supplies. view more (2008-02-04)
Evolution mystery: Spider venom and bacteria share same toxin
Biology researchers at Lewis & Clark College and the University of Arizona have found evidence for an ancient transfer of a toxin between ancestors of two very dissimilar organisms-spiders and a bacterium. view more (2006-02-02)
Cyanobacteria ("blue-green algae") produce toxin with possible connection to neurodegerative disorders
It is well known that a tiny number of cyanobacteria, previously known as blue-green algae, produce substances that can be toxic to both humans and animals. Now a research team from Sweden, Scotland, and the U.S. has found that a further toxin (BMAA, -methyl amino-alanine) with a possible connection to degenerative nerve diseases like ALS,... view more...

Scientists design a PSA-activated protoxin that kills prostate cancer
Scientists have found a way of using a protein made by prostate cancer to target and kill the cancer cells themselves. In preliminary studies the new therapy affected only the prostate, without causing damage to other healthy tissues, and now it is being tested in a phase I clinical trial. view more (2006-11-10)
New wrinkle in Botox treatment could lead to lower doses, better safety
There may soon be a better way to fight unsightly wrinkles. Researchers have discovered a novel way to increase the potency of botulinum neurotoxin treatments - commonly known as Botox - that they say could one day allow patients to receive the injections less frequently while maintaining or even enhancing its cosmetic benefits. view more (2006-04-06)
Botox: Its not just for wrinkles anymore
When researchers at the Chang Gung University Medical College, Taiwan and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine injected botulinum toxin A, or Botox, into the prostate gland of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition commonly referred to as enlarged prostate, they found that it eased symptoms and improved quality of life. view more (2006-05-24)
Mutant rats resist warfarin
A new series of mutations have been discovered that allow rats to resist the effects of the popular poison warfarin. Research published in the open access journal BMC Genetics describes eighteen new genetic changes found in rats from four continents. view more (2009-02-06)
Protein clue to tailor-made antibiotics
Scientists at the University of York have made a huge leap forward in the search for 'smarter' antibiotics. view more (2006-08-23)
Scientists develop fungus-fighting vaccine
group of scientists in Italy have developed a vaccine with the potential to protect against fungal pathogens that commonly infect humans, according to a study by Torosantucci and colleagues in the September 5 issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine. view more (2005-09-06)
A new tool against brain disease
University of Utah researchers isolated an unusual nerve toxin in an ocean-dwelling snail, and say its ability to glom onto the brain's nicotine receptors may be useful for designing new drugs to treat a variety of psychiatric and brain diseases. view more (2006-08-21)
