| Developing crops that can cope with sudden changes in the weather Posted: 13 Dec 2011 08:02 AM PST Crops that can cope with sudden fluctuations in the weather could be developed, thanks to fresh discoveries about the survival mechanisms of plants.  |
| Sugar pump in plants identified Posted: 13 Dec 2011 07:58 AM PST Researchers have discovered the protein that transports sucrose to a plant's vascular pathways.  |
| Visualization of DNA synthesis in vivo Posted: 13 Dec 2011 06:18 AM PST Researchers have discovered a new substance for labeling and visualization of DNA synthesis in whole animals. Applications for this technique include identifying the sites of virus infections and cancer growth, due to the abundance of DNA replication in these tissues. This approach should therefore lead to new strategies in drug development.  |
| Fauna of an entire lake in a shot glass Posted: 11 Dec 2011 10:40 AM PST Danish researchers are leading the way for future biodiversity monitoring using DNA traces in the environment to keep track of threatened wildlife: a lake water sample the size of a shot glass can contain evidence of an entire lake fauna.  |
| Step forward in foot-and-mouth disease understanding Posted: 09 Dec 2011 07:56 AM PST Scientists have discovered a mechanism they believe may play a key role in the spread of foot-and-mouth disease in animals.  |
| Changing the locks: HIV discovery could allow scientists to block virus's entry into cell nucleus Posted: 08 Dec 2011 02:36 PM PST Scientists have found the 'key' that HIV uses to enter our cells' nuclei, allowing it to disable the immune system and cause AIDS. The finding provides a potential new target for anti-AIDS drugs that could be more effective against drug-resistant strains of the virus.  |
