Gene that magnetically labels cells shows potential as imaging tool
Mammalian cells can produce tiny magnetic nuggets after the introduction of a single gene from bacteria, scientists have found. The gene MagA could become a valuable tool for tracking cells' movement through the body via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), says Xiaoping Hu, PhD, professor of biomedical engineering at Emory University and the Georgia... view more...

New research confirms increased greening
Greening seems to have increased during the 1980s and 1990s in the northern hemisphere from the arctic regions down to the 35th parallel of latitude (roughly southern Europe). This has been shown by measurements from space satellites. Some observers, however, have doubted the reliability of these measurements. In the latest issue of Science, a... view more... (2002-06-04)

USC study finds that green tea blocks benefits of cancer drug
Contrary to popular assumptions about the health benefits of green tea, researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have found that the widely used supplement renders a cancer drug used to treat multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma completely ineffective in treating cancer.   view more (2009-02-04)

When what we eat can protect our health
Key research participants include Professor Gordon McVie, from The Cancer Research Campaign who will speak on 'cancer biology - environmental aspects of causes and prevention' and Professor Frans Kok from Wageningen Agricultural University, Holland who will discuss how we substantiate the public health impact of fruit and vegetables.   view more (1999-09-04)

Silver cars are safest
Silver cars are less likely to be involved in a crash resulting in serious injury than cars of other colours, finds a study in this week's Christmas issue of the BMJ. Researchers in New Zealand examined the effect of car colour on the risk of a serious injury in over 1,000 drivers who took part in the Auckland car crash injury study between 1998... view more...

Study indicates grape seed extract may reduce cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease
A compound found in grape seed extract reduces plaque formation and resulting cognitive impairment in an animal model of Alzheimer's disease, new research shows. The study appears in the June 18 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience.    view more (2008-06-18)

Green Algae Step on the Gas
Whether it is in the shape of bread rolls, crunchy flakes or 'spaghetti al pesto di mare', the food industry is on an 'algae trip', selling these marine flora to health-conscious consumers as delicious energy-rich additions to their products. Yet there is another way that algae can help us to solve our energy problems: some of them can produce... view more... (2001-12-13)
