Malaria: Efficacy of monotherapies in Cameroon
Malaria, which affects about 600 millions people in the world, is the most widespread of the transmissible parasitic diseases. The causative agent is a microscopic parasite of the genus Plasmodium. view more (2006-10-16)
Inside rocks, implications for finding life on Mars
If a future space mission to Mars brings rocks back to Earth, Schopf said the techniques he has used, called confocal laser scanning microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, could enable scientists to look at microscopic fossils inside the rocks to search for signs of life, such as organic cell walls. view more (2006-02-01)
Researchers create a broadband light amplifier on a chip
Cornell researchers have created a broadband light amplifier on a silicon chip, a major breakthrough in the quest to create photonic microchips. In such microchips, beams of light traveling through microscopic waveguides will replace electric currents traveling through microscopic wires. view more (2006-07-07)
Disease-causing protein protects against nerve damage in Parkinson's disease
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered that a protein associated with causing neurodegenerative conditions may, when appearing in normal amounts, actually protect against neurodegeneration. view more (2005-11-04)
Computer simulation shows buckyballs deform DNA
Soccer-ball-shaped "buckyballs" are the most famous players on the nanoscale field, presenting tantalizing prospects of revolutionizing medicine and the computer industry. view more (2005-12-06)
MIT: Mini satellites rocketing to space station
A Russian rocket launched Monday, April 24, is carrying the first of three small, spherical satellites developed at MIT to the International Space Station - a major step toward building space-based robotic telescopes and other systems. view more (2006-04-27)
Nanospheres that block pain of sensitive teeth
Nanospheres could help dentists fill the tiny holes in our teeth that make them incredibly sensitive, and that cause severe pain for millions of adults and children worldwide. view more (2005-09-02)

Gold Nanorods May Make Safer Cancer Treatment
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California, San Francisco, have found an even more effective and safer way to detect and kill cancer cells. view more (2006-03-14)
Microbiology Today: Discovering the secrets of extraordinary life forms
Not long ago, the discovery of viruses revolutionized our thinking about the lower limits of microscopic life. Now even small strands of RNA are found to be infectious in plants, and proteins are believed to cross the species barrier and cause brain disease. In the November 2000 issue of Microbiology Today Nicola Spence and Dez Barbara of... view more... (2000-11-13)
Fingerprints provide crucial clue to new nanofiber fabrication technique
Fingerprints are usually used to identify people but, this time, they gave Penn State chemical engineers the crucial clue needed to discover an easy, versatile new method for making nanofibers that have potential uses in advanced filtration as well as wound care, drug delivery, bioassays and other medical applications. view more (2006-01-27)
Gadonanotubes greatly outperform existing MRI contrast agents
Researchers at Rice University, the Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Houston and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland have created a new class of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents that are at least 40 times more effective than the best in clinical use. view more (2005-08-12)
Bone research that grows on you
Rapid and guided healing of bones has moved a step closer with research by two biomedical engineering students who have found new ways to deliver bone growth enhancers directly to broken or weakened bones. view more (2006-11-01)
Targeting wolbachia, doxycycline reduces pathology of lymphatic filariasis
Lymphatic filariasis, a mosquito-borne tropical disease that afflicts 120 million people worldwide, can cause debilitating swelling of the legs and genital areas. view more (2006-09-20)
Factor stimulates cartilage growth from stem cells
A novel growth factor significantly improves the ability of specialized stem cells derived from human fat to be transformed into cartilage cells, according to Duke University Medical Center and Pratt School of Engineering researchers. view more (2006-04-05)
Sandia researchers discover way to see how a drug attaches to a cell
Sandia National Laboratories researchers John Shelnutt and Yujiang Song have discovered a better way to see where a drug attaches to a cell through a new process that produces novel hollow platinum nanostructures. view more (2006-11-14)
New source of multipotent adult stem cells discovered in human hair follicles
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have isolated a new source of adult stem cells that appear to have the potential to differentiate into several cell types. view more (2006-07-13)
Liquid CO2 drives rapid thrust of diamond-bearing structures
Freeze-dried ice cream looks like the original product, and even tastes pretty good, but "drying" ice cream at room temperature would leave a sour-smelling, sloppy mess. view more (2007-05-03)
Drug combination slows progression of treatment resistant bone marrow cancer
Combining a newly formulated drug with one that is already a standard treatment slows the progression of multiple myeloma, an advanced cancer of the bone marrow cells. view more (2006-12-13)
NIST gears up to verify short range 3-D imaging
Three-dimensional imaging devices are becoming important measuring tools in the manufacturing, construction and transportation sectors. view more (2006-05-01)
