Biotechnology

Surface texture and algae growth

Engineers are assessing systematic production methods that could make the costs of algae oil production more reasonable, helping move the U.S. from fossil fuel dependency to renewable energy replacements.

Drunken fruit flies aid fight against alcoholism

A group of drunken fruit flies have helped researchers identify entire networks of genes-also present in humans-that play a key role in alcohol drinking behaviour.

Fatty acids anger the immune system

Researchers have new evidence to explain how saturated fatty acids, which soar in those who are obese, can lead the immune system to respond in ways that add up to chronic, low-grade inflammation. MORE »

Bacterial shield resists attack

Researchers found that the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa can 'switch on' production of molecules that kill white blood cells � preventing the bacteria being eliminated by the body's immune system. MORE »
