Emerging model organisms featured in CSH Protocols
Biological research has long relied on a small number of model organisms, species chosen because they are amenable to laboratory research and suitable for the study of a range of biological problems.   view more (2008-10-02)

Animal model shows early promise for SARS vaccine (p 1895)
Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 5 December 2003. US authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight preliminary findings which could mark an important step in the development of a human vaccine for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). A genetically engineered vaccine was found to be effective in triggering an immune... view more... (2003-12-03)

Expedition discovers new sea current off African coast
Researchers on board the Pelagia, the research vessel belonging to the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), have discovered an interesting rotational current in the sea off the coast of South Africa. Unlike previously identified 'Agulhas rings', this one, a cyclone, rotates clockwise. The water in the centre is also about 50 centimetres... view more... (2001-07-26)

Scientists Find Stem Cells For the First Time in the Pituitary
A team of researchers led by scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have for the first time identified stem cells that allow the pituitary glands of mice to grow even after birth.   view more (2008-04-29)

First Cryopreservation Seed Bank For Arabica Coffee
The storage of coffee (Coffea arabica) seeds to ensure preservation of their genetic resources is an important problem. Like many other tropical plants, coffee seeds cannot be conserved in cold storage because they remain cold-sensitive. IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement), with the financial backing of the BRG (Bureau des... view more... (2000-09-14)

Study finds parents use cough medicines on under-2s despite the warnings
More than 40 per cent of parents have used cough medicine for children younger than two - even though it is not recommended, nor proven effective for children in this age group, an Australia-first study has found.   view more (2008-05-16)

How plants remember winter, in order to flower in spring
Scientists at the John Innes Centre (JIC) Norwich (1), have discovered the molecular change that allows plants to remember winter. Many plants need a cold period (3-8 weeks at 4o - 8oC) early in their growth to stimulate them to flower, this is called vernalisation, and without a suitable cold treatment flowering is delayed. JIC scientists have... view more... (2004-01-06)

A team of researchers at the University of Washington and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories has uncovered genetic errors that may shed light on the causes of schizophrenia.   view more (2008-03-28)

Oxygen trick could see organic costs tumble
A simple, cheap treatment using just oxygen could allow growers to store organic produce for longer and go a long way towards reducing the price of organic fruit and vegetables.   view more (2007-06-11)

Novel virus detection identifies new viruses in study of respiratory infections and asthma attacks
A new study has found an unexpected number of viruses and viral subtypes in patients with respiratory tract infections (RTIs). The technique used in the study may help identify new viruses associated with human diseases.   view more (2007-09-07)

1 in 10 children using cough, cold medications
Researchers from Boston University's Slone Epidemiology Center have found that approximately one in ten U.S. children uses one or more cough and cold medications during a given week.   view more (2008-05-05)

Metabolic insight to illuminate causes of iron imbalance
New insight into key players in iron metabolism has yielded a novel tool for distinguishing among root causes of iron overload or deficiency in humans, the researchers report in the August issue of Cell Metabolism, a publication of Cell Press. While the body needs iron to produce hemoglobin, a substance in red blood cells that enables them to... view more... (2008-08-06)

Smokers likely to develop mouth ulcers and cold symptoms up to two weeks after quitting
Smokers develop mouth ulcers and cold symptoms for up to two weeks after giving up their habit, reveals research in Tobacco Control. The body's backlash could deter many ex-smokers from staying the course, unless they know what to expect, suggest the authors. One hundred and seventy four smokers were assessed one week before giving up smoking and... view more... (2003-02-21)

Cooling with tiny crystals
Refrigeration equipment prevents sweaty brows in the summer and also keeps our food fresh for longer periods. With CryoSol®, a new and easily pumpable liquid ice suspension, space requirements for cold storage are much lower than with conventional coolants.   view more (2004-08-27)

A more silent and ecological refrigerator with more precise temperature maintenance
The Thermal Engineering group of researchers at the Public University of Navarre is working on the design of a domestic thermoelectric refrigerator. Unlike the conventional system of producing a cold environment - by vapour compression - the thermoelectricity used in the design of this refrigerator allows the manufacture of more compact and... view more...

A plum assignment
Plums: they're sweet, juicy, and packed with beneficial antioxidants and dietary fiber. Although there are many varieties available to consumers, there are two main types of the small, purple fruit: Japanese plums and European plums.   view more (2008-09-30)

Revamped, Renewed, Restarted: Oak Ridge High Flux Isotope reactor back on line
he research reactor at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory is back in action and better than ever. After $70 million in renovations and more than a year of meticulous system checks, ORNL's High Flux Isotope Reactor was restarted this week, taken to 10 percent power, and reached its peak power of 85 megawatts Wednesday.   view more (2007-05-18)

Cold homes linked to poor health among the over 50s

Wheezing and asthma in young children
The diagnosis of asthma in a young child may well be more challenging to pediatricians than previously appreciated, according to a review of research and clinical experience literature by Howard Eigen, M.D., of the Indiana University School of Medicine and Riley Hospital for Children appearing in the October 2008 issue of Clinical Pediatrics.   view more (2008-10-08)

Wintertime, and the thinking is easy
Although people tend to be more depressed in winter, there is some evidence that their thinking skills may actually improve during the cold, dark months - according to new research by Tim Brennen, reported today, Tuesday 21 December, at The British Psychological Society's London Conference, held at the Institute of Education.   view more (1999-12-16)
