Newly discovered molecule promises better treatments for heart attacks, heart surgery
Scientists have discovered a compound that could lead to new treatments for heart attacks as well as methods to protect hearts during open heart surgery and other situations in which blood flow to the heart is interrupted. view more (2008-09-12)
Molecular markers signal early metastases from ocular melanoma
Patients with melanoma of the eye are at risk for liver metastases, which are often not detected until they have turned into large, lethal tumors. view more (2006-09-14)
Environmental toxicants like lead, mercury target stem cells
Low levels of toxic substances cause critical stem cells in the central nervous system to prematurely shut down. That is the conclusion of a study published today in the on-line journal PLoS Biology. view more (2007-02-06)
Biologist and geologist honoured in major international prizes
A Swiss developmental biologist, Walter Gehring, and a French geologist, Xavier Le Pichon, have each been awarded a prize of 1,000,000 Swiss Francs for their work on genes that control the development of the eye, and plate tectonics respectively. [Note: Swiss Francs 1 million is equivalent to £431,000 or US$ 667,000]. They were the two... view more... (2002-09-10)
Study details structural changes of a key catalytic enzyme
Enzymes are complex proteins capable of catalyzing specific biochemical reactions in cells. view more (2006-09-21)
Is Biology Fieldwork In Schools Following The Dodo?
Biology fieldwork could be heading for extinction according to a report to be published on Friday 18 October by the Field Studies Council and the British Ecological Society. This loss of opportunity would rob young people of the rich personal benefits of out of school experiences as well as the educational value of such trips. Professor John Grace... view more...

New understanding of parasite cell structures may provide treatments for serious tropical diseases
Don't even think about trying to pronounce it. Although it is found in many organisms including humans, glycosylphosphatidylinositol has remained a mouthful for laymen and a puzzle for scientists. view more (2006-05-10)
University of Kent Appoints Leading Cancer Researcher
One of the UKˇ¦s leading cancer researchers, Professor Bill Gullick, is to become the University of Kent at Canterburyˇ¦s (UKC) new Chair in Cancer Biology from 1 January 2000. Currently Principal Scientist at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) Molecular Oncology Unit in Hammersmith, and Professor of Molecular Oncology at the Imperial... view more... (1999-11-15)
Powerful genome ID method extended to humans
A mathematical discovery has extended the reach of a novel genome mapping method to humans, potentially giving cancer biology a faster and more cost-effective tool than traditional DNA sequencing. view more (2006-10-10)
Blood cells linked to heart attacks, other inflammatory diseases
Two human blood cells that help fight blood loss, infection, and inflammation are responsible as well for starting a series of molecular events that results in overproduction of Cox-2, an enzyme involved in heart attack, stroke, atherosclerosis, and other inflammatory diseases. view more (2006-10-09)
Researchers shed light on shrinking of chromosomes
A human cell contains an enormous 1.8 metres of DNA partitioned into 46 chromosomes. view more (2007-06-12)
New Study Has Important Implications for Influenza Surveillance
Researchers are reporting results of a study that substantially alters the existing understanding of how the influenza virus evolves and that could have important implications for monitoring changes to the virus and predicting which strains should be used for flu vaccine. view more (2006-10-27)
Professor Eero Vuorio to chair the EMBL Council
Professor Eero Vuorio has been elected to chair the Council of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in 2003. His predecessor Professor Peter Gruss has assumed office as President of the Max-Planck Society. Professor Vuorio is Professor in Molecular Biology at the University of Turku, Finland, and Chair of the Research Council for... view more... (2002-11-29)
Discovery of agile molecular motors could aid in treating motor neuron diseases
Over the last several months, the labs of Yale Goldman, MD, PhD, Director of the Pennsylvania Muscle Institute at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and Erika Holzbaur, PhD, Professor of Physiology, have published a group of papers that, taken together, show proteins that function as molecular motors are surprisingly flexible and... view more...

Scientists help develop first single molecule transistor
Dr Werner Hofer, from the University's Surface Science Research Centre, is one of an international team of scientists who have created a prototype that demonstrates a single charged atom on a silicon surface can regulate the conductivity of a nearby molecule. view more (2005-06-07)
Cells use 'noise' to make cell-fate decisions
Electrical noise, like the crackle heard on AM radio when lightning strikes nearby, is a nuisance that wreaks havoc on electronic devices. But within cells, a similar kind of biochemical "noise" is beneficial, helping cells transform from one state to another, according to a new study led by a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher. view more (2007-03-23)
'Nurse cells' make life and death decisions for infection-fighting cells
"Nurse cells" play an important role in deciding which developing infection-fighting cells, called T cells, live and which die, according to research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and reported in the June issue of the journal Experimental Biology and Medicine. view more (2007-05-31)
Scientists reveal fine detail of cell`s energy machinery
A molecular pump that helps to keep cells flush with energy has been visualised by scientists at Imperial College, London. The structure of the pump, a key enzyme in bacterial respiration, reveals for the first time one of the molecular mechanisms that underpins cellular respiration, and confirms a Nobel Prize-winning theory proposed over 40... view more...

Key protein that may cause cancer cell death identified
Researchers at A*STAR's Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) have become the first to discover and characterize a human protein called Bax-beta (Baxβ), which can potentially cause the death of cancer cells and lead to new approaches in cancer treatment. view more (2009-01-20)
Scientists discover age-regulated cellular activities that protect against protein aggregation
Alzheimer's disease now strikes more than one in 30 Americans, and about half the population that lives past 85 acquires Alzheimer's. view more (2006-08-14)
