Valuable coral reefs under siege
Leading coral reef experts are meeting today, 16 December 2004, at the Zoological Society of London to discuss the alarming rates of decline and formulate an action plan to prevent the demise of these important ecosystems. With approximately 20% of coral reefs already destroyed, it is thought that close to 50% may be close to collapse. view more (2004-12-15)
Stem-cell therapy could have benefits and risks for heart-attack patients (pp 746, 751, 783)
Two studies in this week's issue of THE LANCET raise questions about the feasibility and safety of stem-cell therapy for heart disease, suggesting that such treatments could have both benefits and drawbacks. Adult haemopoietic stem cells give rise to blood cells, and are thought to be able to generate other types of cell. Recent studies have... view more... (2004-03-03)
New study shows that bacteria can communicate through the air
This month, Journal of Applied Microbiology publishes a ground-breaking study demonstrating that bacteria which are physically separated can transmit information through the air. It is well documented that bacteria can exchange messages by releasing substances into a surrounding liquid culture medium, but this new study is the first to demonstrate... view more... (2002-05-27)

Digital Ant Colony System
Whoever thinks that ants are only erratic little beings, whose incessant wanderings are pointless or obey no kind of universal order, is very much mistaken. Their society is so organized and complex that it is already being used as a model for the creation of algorithms, adaptable to a variety of scientific areas. Inspired by the work of Chialvo... view more... (2002-09-30)
