Southampton scientists are hoping to find out why some people benefit more than others from the effects of fruit and vegetables in battling conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma and heart disease.
It is already known that a diet rich in fruit, vegetables, nuts and tea provides plenty of antioxidants such as vitamins E and C, beta-carotene and polyphenols. These help tackle an excess of free radicals and oxidants produced to help our immune system kill ha
Two scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), Research Associate John S. Reader, D.Phil, and Professor Gerald F. Joyce, M.D., Ph.D., both of the institute’s Department of Molecular Biology, have succeeded in creating an enzyme based on a “binary” genetic code–one containing only two different subunits.
This research, described in the latest issue of the journal Nature, demonstrates that Darwinian evolution can occur in a genetic system with only two bases, and it also suppo
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) Eliminate Risk of Breast Cancer Associated with Hormone Replacement Therapy But Preserve Many Health Benefits of Estrogen
Tissue-Specific Estrogenic and Antiestrogenic Activity of SERMs Provide Opportunities for Individualized Treatment of Menopause-related Adverse Symptoms, Health Risks and Diseases
As scientific evidence mounts linking Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to breast cancer and other illnesses, a class of d
People looking forward to eating raw oysters over the holidays will welcome news that scientists are making progress in the fight against a rare but deadly disease associated with the tasty bivalves.
Two University of Florida researchers report curing mice of the disease by using a virus to attack its bacterial source – Vibrio vulnificus. The scientists say the research may lead to techniques to purify oysters after harvest but before they reach raw bars and seafood markets – and might one
Novel developments in electronics which are giving ecologists important new tools to quickly and easily measure biodiversity will be described at the British Ecological Society’s Winter Meeting, being held at the University of York on 18–20 December 2002.
Speaking at the meeting, electronics expert and entomologist Dr David Chesmore from the University of York will explain a novel method of identifying different grasshopper species using time domain signal coding and artificial neural netwo
The European Investment Bank (EIB) is lending EUR 300 million to finance the final phase of construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The loan will also help to finance the instrumentation to record and analyse the high-energy particle collisions at the LHC. A loan to enable construction of this major project was foreseen by CERN’s governing Council when it approved the LHC in 1996.
The EIB, the European Union’s long term
