Global warming increases oyster sensitivity to pollution
Do you enjoy eating oysters on a hot sunny afternoon? Make the most of it - it may not last forever. Research has shown that global warming increases the sensitivity of oysters to metal pollution, causing a deadly threat to populations in polluted areas. view more (2005-07-12)
Media invitation - Environmental change in Antarctic lakes and seas: the chances for survival or extinction? BA Festival of Science, Univ of Leicester
The effects of the warming of the Earth`s climate on Antarctic lakes and seas is a matter of life or death for many plants and animals at the frozen continent. Professor Lloyd Peck, biologist with British Antarctic Survey (BAS) discusses the prospects for survival or extinction of Antarctic marine and lake life today (9 Sept) at a special seminar... view more...

Master genetic switch found for chronic pain
In experiments with mice, researchers have found that eliminating what appears to be a master genetic switch for the development of pain-sensing neurons knocks out the animals' response to "neuropathic pain." view more (2006-01-26)
University of Minnesota astronomers find gaping hole in the Universe
University of Minnesota astronomers have found an enormous hole in the Universe, nearly a billion light-years across, empty of both normal matter such as stars, galaxies and gas, as well as the mysterious, unseen "dark matter." While earlier studies have shown holes, or voids, in the large-scale structure of the Universe, this new... view more... (2007-08-24)
Oldest stars may shed light on dark matter, researchers report in Science
The universe's earliest stars may hold clues to the nature of dark matter, the mysterious stuff that makes up most of the universe's matter but doesn't interact with light, cosmologists report. view more (2007-09-14)
Gene loss accelerates aging
Researchers have discovered that the loss of a gene called p63 accelerates aging in mice. Similar versions of the gene are present in many organisms, including humans. Therefore, the p63 gene is likely to play a fundamental biological role in aging-related processes. view more (2005-08-17)
Shorter colds, milder flu may follow from newly revealed immune mechanism
Enlisted to help fight viral infections, immune cells called macrophages consume virus-infected cells to stop the spread of the disease in the body. view more (2005-10-10)
1 of deep ocean's most turbulent areas has big impact on climate
More than a mile beneath the Atlantic's surface, roughly halfway between New York and Portugal, seawater rushing through the narrow gullies of an underwater mountain range much as winds gust between a city's tall buildings is generating one of the most turbulent areas ever observed in the deep ocean. view more (2007-08-10)
Anti-cold, anti-flu product cuts recurrent colds by more than half, study shows
he results of a new study to be published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal show that COLD-fX®, an anti-flu, anti-cold pill, reduced the incidence and frequency of recurrent colds by more than half. It also cut the duration of colds and significantly reduced their severity. view more (2005-10-25)
Genes hold secret of survival of Antarctic 'antifreeze fish'
A genetic study of a fish that lives in the icy waters off Antarctica sheds light on the adaptations that enable it to survive in one of the harshest environments on the planet. view more (2008-10-17)
New study explains why hotter is better for insects
Organisms have been able to adapt to environments ranging from cold polar oceans to hot thermal vents. However, University of Washington researchers have discovered a limit to the powerful forces of natural selection, at least when it comes to the adaptation of insects to cold temperatures. view more (2006-10-03)
Cold virus found to manipulate genes
Sneezing, runny nose and chills? You might blame the human rhinovirus (HRV), which causes 30 to 50 percent of common colds. But in reality, it's not the virus itself but HRV's ability to manipulate your genes that is the true cause of some of the most annoying cold symptoms. view more (2008-10-27)
Lion mane linked to climate
If you were a male lion and could read the latest scientific research, you would want to move to a warmer climate, where your mane would be more impressive. view more (2006-04-13)
Researchers link Ice Age climate-change records to ocean salinity
Sudden decreases in temperature over Greenland and tropical rainfall patterns during the last Ice Age have been linked for the first time to rapid changes in the salinity of the north Atlantic Ocean. view more (2006-10-05)
New gene regulation mechanism discovered
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have discovered a new kind of messenger RNA molecule that is converted from non-protein coding status to protein coding status in response to cellular stress such as viral infection. view more (2005-10-21)
Can complementary medicine ever be evidence based?
Doctors are failing their patients by not being able to advise on the particular merits of different complementary medicines, writes Professor Edzard Ernst, of the Department of Complementary Medicine, University of Exeter, in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. Around half the UK population is thought to use complementary medicine at some time... view more... (1999-02-12)
Keeping cool in a war zone: Device promises relief for desert soldiers
One of the deadliest obstacles soldiers in desert war zones have to face is heat. The gear soldiers wear and carry can contribute 10 additional degrees to the outside temperature, a dangerously significant increase on a 95-degree day, for instance. view more (2006-05-11)
Brown University Geologists Create 5-Million-Year Climate Record
Using chemical clues mined from ocean mud, Brown University researchers have generated the longest continuous record of ocean temperatures on Earth. view more (2006-04-07)
Casting a wide net to fight coronaviruses
Coronaviruses-the family of viruses that causes the common cold-gained widespread recognition when the deadly severe acute respiratory syndrome, familiarly known as SARS, killed at least 800 people in 2003. view more (2005-09-06)
Bacteria discovery aids food production, water purification
The search for a type of bacteria that creates better ice cream and artificial snow has suddenly become a lot easier, thanks to a discovery by Queen's University biologist Virginia Walker. view more (2006-10-02)
