    3-D Cell Culture: Making Cells Feel Right At Home
    The film "Avatar" isn't the only 3-D blockbuster making a splash this winter. A team of Houston scientists this week unveiled a new technique for growing 3-D cell cultures, a technological leap from the flat petri dish that could save millions of dollars in drug-testing costs. The research is reported in Nature Nanotechnology...

    New Powerful Microscopy Shows Antimicrobial Proteins Killing Bacteria
    US researchers have developed a new powerful microscopy technique and used it to show proteins killing bacteria in real time, thus revealing the deadly workings of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), naturally occurring proteins that scientists are pursuing as a new approach to treating bacterial infections...

    Neuroimaging Study Describes Alzheimer's Disease Like Changes In Elderly People Without The Disease
    In a new study published in Biological Psychiatry, by Elsevier, researchers have related the findings that are emerging from PET-PIB imaging to changes in the function of brain circuits. The emergence of multiple new brain imaging technologies and the combined application of these new approaches is helping to create new insights into aging and Alzheimer's disease...

    Breakthrough In Understanding How Our Body Repairs Itself
    New research led by scientists at the University of Essex has given an insight into how the body finds damage in the DNA code to repair it. From rays of sunlight to harmful tobacco smoke, our bodies are bombarded every single day by a range of environmental toxins which damage our DNA...

    Scientists Identify Chemical In Bananas As Potent Inhibitor Of HIV Infection
    A potent new inhibitor of HIV, derived from bananas, may open the door to new treatments to prevent sexual transmission of HIV, according to a University of Michigan Medical School study published this week. Scientists have an emerging interest in lectins, naturally occurring chemicals in plants, because of their ability to halt the chain of reaction that leads to a variety of infections...

    Discovery Of Opposing Functions Of A Key Molecule In The Development Of Organisms Could Benefit Cancer Research
    Scientists headed by ICREA researcher Marco Milan, at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona), reveal a surprising new function of Notch protein that contrasts with the one known to date. Found in the cell membrane, this protein activates a signalling pathway that regulates the expression of genes that make the cell divide, grow, migrate, specialise or die...

    Pancreatic Cancer Study Reveals Mechanism Initiating Disease, In Mice
    UCSF scientists have discovered how a mutated gene known as Kras is able to hijack mouse cells damaged by acute pancreatitis, putting them on the path to becoming pancreatic cancer cells. The finding, they say, suggests one way in which the mutated gene - found in nearly all cases of the most common and lethal form of pancreatic cancer - exacts its toll in humans...

    Nanoparticles Provide A Targeted Version Of Photothermal Therapy For Cancer
    In a lecture he delivered in 1906, the German physician Paul Ehrlich coined the term Zuberkugel, or "magic bullet," as shorthand for a highly targeted medical treatment. Magic bullets, also called silver bullets, because of the folkloric belief that only silver bullets can kill supernatural creatures, remain the goal of drug development efforts today...
