Tracking membranes of rupturing blood cells sheds light on malaria infection
By specially tagging the outer and inner membranes of red blood cells infected with the malaria parasite and tracking the cellular changes that precede the cell bursting event that disperses parasites to other blood cells, a group of researchers has deepened our understanding of how the malaria... view more (2005-09-22)

Proteins take on new roles in malaria parasite
Malaria is the third leading cause of infectious disease death in the world, after tuberculosis and AIDS. The World Health Organization estimates the parasite causes acute illness in some 300 million people each year, resulting in about 2.7 million deaths.   view more (2005-11-03)

Researchers discover how malaria parasite disperses from red blood cells
Researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development have determined the sequence in which the malaria parasite disperses from the red blood cells it infects.   view more (2005-09-20)

MIT-led team ID's cell mechanics of hallmark malaria protein
During the first 24 hours of invasion by the malaria-inducing parasite Plasmodium falciparum, red blood cells start to lose their ability to deform and squeeze through tiny blood vessels--one of the hallmarks of the deadly disease that infects nearly 400 million people each year.   view more (2007-05-29)

Removing DNA repair gene causes metabolic syndrome
Removing a gene involved in repairing damaged DNA causes mice to develop the metabolic syndrome, researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have discovered.   view more (2006-02-09)

Discovery in plant virus may help prevent HIV and similar viruses
In a study that could lead to new ways to prevent infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and similar organisms, Purdue University researchers have been able to genetically modify a plant to halt reproduction of a related virus.   view more (2007-08-01)

Yale researchers make cell biology quantitative
Yale researchers have reported a method to count the absolute number of individual protein molecules inside a living cell, and to measure accurately where they are located, two basic hurdles for studying biology quantitatively.   view more (2005-10-20)

Studies link cancer, inflammatory disease
The biological processes underlying diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and cancer are fundamentally linked, and should be linked in how they are treated with drugs, a series of MIT studies indicates.   view more (2006-04-06)

University of Virginia Study Finds Commitment to Marriage, Emotional Engagement Key to Wives' Happiness
A study by University of Virginia sociologists W. Bradford Wilcox and Steven L. Nock finds that the single most important factor in women's marital happiness is the level of their husbands' emotional engagement - not money, the division of household chores or other factors.   view more (2006-03-02)

Genes involved in cell growth and cell division identified
A recent study shows that hundreds of genes contribute to cell growth and cell division. For the first time these genes, many of which are potential contributors to cancer, have been mapped in a single systematic study.   view more (2006-02-23)

Research links 'ecstasy' to survival of key movement-related cells in brain
New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) suggests that the widely abused club drug "ecstasy," or MDMA, can increase the survival of dopamine cells in the brain during fetal development.   view more (2006-10-19)

Scientists discover how gold eases pain of arthritis
Scientists at Duke University Medical Center may have solved the mystery surrounding the healing properties of gold - a discovery they say may renew interest in gold salts as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.   view more (2007-10-23)

Parental attitudes to young sex offenders
This is the finding presented today, Tuesday 28 September, by Carol Barnes and Dr Gareth Hughes of the Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge, at The British Psychological Society's Division of Forensic Psychology Conference held at Churchill College, University of Cambridge.   view more (1999-09-13)

NRL scientists detect 'milky sea' phenomena
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory's Marine Meteorology Division in Monterey, CA, (NRL-Monterey), working with researchers from Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and the National Geophysical Data Center, presented the first satellite detection of a phenomenon known as the... view more (2005-10-18)

Psychology has a key role to play in world peace
Psychology has an increasingly important role to play in preventing war and conflict and ending cycles of revenge. This is Professor Ed Cairns' key message in his speech Diversity and Division: Psychology and Society, given on Thursday 8 April, to The British Psychological Society's Annual... view more (1999-03-26)

Stem cells found in adult hair follicles may provide alternative to embryonic stem cells
Having recently identified the molecular signature of these epidermal neural crest stem cells in the mouse, their research resolves conflicting scientific opinions by showing that these cells are distinctly different from other types of skin-resident stem cells/progenitors. Their work provides a... view more (2006-12-12)

New Treatment Promising For Ulcerative Colitis Sufferers
For people with the chronic disease ulcerative colitis, life can be limited to few social functions and trips away from home.   view more (2006-01-04)

Rewind, please: Nature paper shows that cell division is reversible
Gary J. Gorbsky, Ph.D., a scientist with the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, has found a way to reverse the process of cell division.   view more (2006-04-13)

Pine nut oil boosts appetite suppressors up to 60 percent for 4 hours
In the face of the growing obesity health challenge, "appetite suppressants are increasingly interesting because they work on the very simple premise of 'What you don't eat now, you won't need to lose later,'" Alexandra Einerhand, director, nutrition and toxicology-Europe at Lipid... view more (2006-04-04)

Stem cell identity in culture may strongly depend on the cellular microenvironment
Identification, isolation and large scale culture of stem cells for potential medical applications is a major challenge in cell biology.   view more (2007-04-25)

Genetically engineered blood protein can be used to split water into oxygen and hydrogen

Cell wall of pneumonia bacteria can cause brain and heart damage
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered in mouse models how cell walls from certain pneumonia-causing bacteria can cause fatal heart damage; researchers have also shown how antibiotic therapy can contribute to this damage by increasing the number of cell wall pieces... view more (2006-10-25)
