Antibiotics that don't trigger resistance

Researchers are developing a new generation of antibiotic compounds that do not provoke bacterial resistance. The compounds work against two notorious microbes: Vibrio cholerae and E. coli 0157:H7.

Clue to control of mass gene expression

The discovery in common brewer's yeast of a new, infectious, misfolded protein - or prion - raises new questions about the roles played by these curious molecules.

Iron is involved in prion disease

Imbalance of iron homeostasis is a common feature of prion disease-affected human, mouse, and hamster brains, according to a recent study.

Happy cows produce more milk

A recent study found that on farms where each cow was called by her name the overall milk yield was higher than on farms where the cattle were herded as a group. Scientist Live discussed Dr. Douglas' findings with her.

Accelerating the drug discovery process

The Maybridge Quick2Lead Compound Kits are designed to save time and money by enabling rapid compound library synthesis around bioactive "hits" emerging from screening assays.

Varioskan flash multimode reader

The flexibility of the Varioskan Flash, in combination with the LanthaScreen platform enables rapid application of TR-FRET technology to multiple target classes across a wide range of application areas.

Key sperm-binding proteins cloned

Researchers have become the first to clone, produce and purify a protein important for sperm maturation, termed Binder of Sperm.

HPV-vaccine may prevent preterm births

A recently published study calculated how many preterm deliveries could be avoided by systematic HPV-vaccination.

Brothers in arms

Researchers have taken an in-depth look at the connection between flu infection and pneumonia, and their results have disproven a common theory about flu-like pneumonia.

Scientist watch proteins change shapes

The researchers demonstrate the "alpha-synuclein dance" - the switching back and forth of the protein between a bent helix and an extended helix as the surface that it is binding to changes.

Catching the common cold virus

Researchers on the virus behind nearly half of all cold infections explains how and where evolution occurs in the rhinovirus genome and what this means for possible vaccines.

Waking up dormant HIV

A chemical called suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, recently approved as a leukaemia drug, has now been shown to 'turn on' latent HIV.

Flies may spread drug-resistant bacteria

Researchers found evidence that houseflies collected near broiler poultry operations may contribute to the dispersion of drug-resistant bacteria.

No consistent advantage for planting soybean early

While there may be no particular advantage for planting soybean early, there was a clear disadvantage for planting late.

Liking sweets makes sense for kids

Research indicates that this heightened liking for sweetness has a biological basis and is related to children's high growth rate.

Device proves effective against epilepsy

In a just completed clinical trial, a unique nerve-stimulation treatment for intractable epilepsy reduced the number of seizures by more than 50 percent.

Key to embryonic stem cell differentiation

A protein called Shp2 plays a critical role in the pathways that control decisions for differentiation or self-renewal in both human embryonic stem cells and mouse embryonic stem cells.

How brain remembers single events

Scientists found that a single brief experience was as effective at activating neurons and genes associated with memory as more repetitive activities.

Markers aggressive head and neck cancer

Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have identified genetic markers that signal poor outcomes for patients with head and neck cancer.
