Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement Offered for Neck and Arm Pain Problems
Rush University Medical Center is one of the few sites in the country selected to participate in a clinical trial for the Artificial Cervical (neck) Disc, the latest technology in the field. view more (2005-09-27)
'Achilles' heel' of the herpes virus possibly found
It's one of the most common viruses in America, and one that causes the most guilt and shame. It can get inside almost any kind of human cell, reproduce in vast numbers, and linger for years in the body, causing everything from recurrent genital blisters to sores around the mouth. Its complications can kill, and it may increase susceptibility to... view more... (2005-07-25)
Novel virus entry mechanism could lead to new drugs against poxviruses
Research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on 11 April describes how the Imperial College London team discovered the mechanism allowing Vaccinia virus to shed its outer lipid membrane and enter cells. The mechanism is unique in virology and paves the way for development of new antiviral drugs. view more (2006-04-12)
Physicists persevere in quest for inexhaustible energy source
As gas prices soar and greenhouse gases continue to blanket the atmosphere, the need for a clean, safe and cheap source of energy has never seemed more pressing. view more (2006-05-31)
Supernovae-Cosmic Lighthouses
Supernovae stand out in the sky like cosmic lighthouses. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics and at the National Astronomical Institute of Italy have now found a way to use these cosmic beacons to measure distances in space more accurately. view more (2007-02-12)
Even 'failed stars' form planets
An international team of astronomers shows that even brown dwarfs start to form planets. view more (2005-10-26)
Think solar not nuclear for the energy of the future, say scientists
Solar rather than nuclear energy should be the UK government's priority in planning future energy production, according to scientists writing today in the journal Nature Materials. view more (2006-03-01)
Yeast model shows promise as Alzheimer's test
A century ago this month, German psychiatrist Alois Alzheimer formally described characteristics of the neurodegenerative disease which ultimately came to bear his name. view more (2006-11-20)
Combining PET and CT scans makes cancer treatment more accurate
Doctors have discovered that combining images derived from positron emission tomography and computed tomography in the planning and delivery of radiation treatment for patients with head and neck cancer leads to more accurate delivery of the radiation dose and an increased chance for survival. view more (2006-05-02)
Scientists identify molecular structure of key viral protein
Scientists at Northwestern University have determined the molecular structure of a viral protein, the parainfluenza virus 5 fusion (F) protein. view more (2006-01-05)
Dartmouth researchers find that arsenic triggers unique mechanism in rare leukemia
Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) researchers have identified a new way that arsenite, a form of arsenic, acts in treating a rare cancer known as APL, or acute promyelocytic leukemia. Their study is published in the Jan. 3 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-01-09)
Researchers discover how compounds prevent viruses from entering cells
Compounds called defensins-known to prevent viruses from entering cells-appear to do so by preventing the virus from merging to cells' outer membrane. view more (2005-09-16)
Astrophysicists find fractal image of Sun's 'Storm Season' imprinted on Solar Wind
Plasma astrophysicists at the University of Warwick have found that key information about the Sun's 'storm season' is being broadcast across the solar system in a fractal snapshot imprinted in the solar wind. view more (2007-05-29)
Z machine melts diamond to puddle
Sandia's Z machine, by creating pressures more than 10 million times that of the atmosphere at sea level, has turned a diamond sheet into a pool of liquid. view more (2006-11-06)
Tissue regeneration operates differently than expected
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim, Germany, in co-operation with colleagues from Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg, have now shown that skeletal muscle tissue can fuse with adult stem cells, via a mechanism based on the participation of mediators which are generally involved in immune... view more...

New understanding of Ewing's sarcoma suggests novel treatment strategy
Using molecular and cell-based models, researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center have refined the picture of how a cancer-promoting protein associated with Ewing's sarcoma functions. view more (2006-06-01)
Biology inspires perceptive machines
Teaching a machine to sense its environment is one of the most intractable problems of computer science, but one European project is looking to nature for help in cracking the conundrum. view more (2006-02-09)
Researchers devise new technique for creating human stem cells
Researchers have developed a new technique for creating human embryonic stem cells by fusing adult somatic cells with embryonic stem cells. view more (2005-08-23)
Oncologists could gain therapeutic advantage by targeting telomere protein
Inactivating a protein called mammalian Rad9 could make cancer cells easier to kill with ionizing radiation, according to research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2006-02-17)
