Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have identified a small intracellular protein that helps cells commit suicide.

St. Jude scientists' findings in ataxia telangiectasia-like disease and Nijmegen breakage syndrome offer insight into the links between brain disease and cancer vulnerability in people carrying the diseases.

Researchers have designed systems that harness the power of osmosis to harvest freshwater from non-potable sources, including seawater and generate electricity from low-temperature heat sources.

A pair of physicists have shown that Hardy's paradox can be confirmed and ultimately resolved, a task which had seemingly been impossible to perform.

Global yields of most biofuels crops have been overestimated, suggesting many countries need to reset their expectations of agricultural biofuels to a more realistic level.

The ability of the U.S. FDA to regulate the safety of dietary supplements using nanomaterials is severely limited by lack of information, lack of resources and lack of authority.

A standard paediatric vaccine used to prevent several common types of life-threatening infections also effectively reduced the rates of another disease, pneumococcal meningitis, in children and adults.

A new study describes the skull and jaws of a fish that lived about 410 million years ago. It may give important clues to the origin of jawed vertebrates, and thus ultimately our own evolution.

Many hopes are pinned on spintronics. In the future it could replace electronics, which in the race to produce increasingly rapid computer components, must at sometime reach its limits.

A team of Wisconsin researchers has found that a common soil mineral, an oxidised from of manganese known as birnessite, can penetrate the prion's armour and degrade the protein.

Porvair Filtration Group has announced that it will unveil, at Pittcon 2009 (Booth 3877), a new range of innovative, solid-state sample preparation products enabling life scientists to accelerate the purification of biological molecules and materials.

Time is of the essence in fertility testing and Randox biochips provide rapid and accurate diagnosis of disorders associated with the reproductive system.

A recent study has confirmed that although there was a large reduction of organic carbon and total nitrogen pools when prairies were first cultivated and drained, there has been no consistent pattern in these organic matter pools during the period of synthetic fertiliser use.

As bacteria resistant to commonly used antibiotics continue to increase in number, scientists keep searching for new sources of drugs. One potential new bactericide has been found in the tiny freshwater animal Hydra.

The compound, α-difluoromethylornithine or DFMO, targets the activity of a specific enzyme and, even in very limited doses, is effective in protecting against the malignancy in animal models.

Scientsts have for the first time developed a new screening technique that enables antibody screening against equally massive libraries of targets. This technique makes it possible to accelerate searches for new treatments against cancer and other diseases.

Palsgaard manufacture emulsifiers and blends of emulsifiers and stabilizer, in safe and modern production plants. Their ingredients meet all the pertinent quality criterias required, to ensure the highest quality and standard.

Researchers have identified a biochemical switch required for nerve cells to respond to DNA damage.

Scientists identified one of the basic mechanisms controlling NK cell activity which is responsible for recognising and killing cancer cells and cells infected by viruses

Scientists discovered that 1% of the world's population carries a mutation almost guaranteed to lead to heart problems and most of these come from the Indian subcontinent.
