Can biotech and organic crops coexist without biotech material finding its way into organic plants, compromising their economic value?
Scientists Unveil Piece Of HIV Protein That May Be Key To AIDS Vaccine Development
20.2.2007 | Press monitoring
In a finding that could have profound implications for AIDS vaccine design, researchers led by a team at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have generated an atomic-level picture of a key portion of an HIV surface protein as it looks when bound to an...
Tea Tree Oil Can Lead to Antibiotic Resistance
20.2.2007 | Press monitoring
Repeated exposure to low doses of Tea Tree Oil – a common ingredient in many beauty products – can increase the chances of suffering from “superbug” infections, University of Ulster scientists have revealed.
Breakthrough '100% Green' biofuels technology developed to produce high performance fuels from any renewable oil

Peas fight pig infections
19.2.2007 | Press monitoring
A field trial with genetically modified peas is planned in Gatersleben, Germany. The peas were developed by Novoplant, a small enterprise involved in plant biotechnology. If the concept works, the GM-peas are to be added to pig feed to prevent intestinal infections.
50 atoms thick membrane sorts individual molecules
18.2.2007 | Press monitoring
A newly designed porous membrane, so thin it's invisible edge-on, may revolutionize the way doctors and scientists manipulate objects as small as a molecule.
Researchers discover 'sticky' proteins fuse adult stem cells to cardiac muscle, repairing hearts
17.2.2007 | Press monitoring
Cardiologists are increasingly using adult stem cells in clinical trials to repair hearts following heart attacks, but no one has understood how the therapy actually works.
Controlling the Movement of Water Through Nanotube Membranes
16.2.2007 | Press monitoring
By fusing wet and dry nanotechnologies, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found a way to control the flow of water through carbon nanotube membranes with an unprecedented level of precision.
New Weapon Against Cancer: HIV Protein Enlisted To Help Kill Cancer Cells
15.2.2007 | Press monitoring
Cancer cells are sick, but they keep growing because they don't react to internal signals urging them to die. Now researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found an efficient way to get a messenger into cancer cells that forces them to respond to death signals. And they did it using one of the most sinister...
Nanotechnology Meets Biology And DNA Finds Its Groove
15.2.2007 | Press monitoring
The object of fascination for most is the DNA molecule. But in solution, DNA, the genetic material that hold the detailed instructions for virtually all life, is a twisted knot, looking more like a battered ball of yarn than the famous double helix. To study it, scientists generally are forced to work with collections of molecules floating in...
