Veterinary scientists have made a discovery that promises to deliver a new approach to fast development of cheap vaccines that are effective in all mammals - not just humans or another particular species. They propose that by harnessing the system that reads the biological 'barcodes' of infectious microbes such as food poisoning bacteria, flu viruses and protozoa that cause malaria, one vaccine could be made to prevent a particular disease in all mammals. The research is discussed in the new Autumn edition of Business, the quarterly magazine of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council. http://www.physorg.com/news174821652.html Medicine & Health Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:10:03 EST news174821652 Infectious-disease specialists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have demonstrated that a cannibalistic process in cells plays a key role in limiting Salmonella infection. http://www.physorg.com/news168538515.html Medicine & Health Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:15:55 EST news168538515 (AP) -- Officers with the U.S. Marshals Service have seized all skin sanitizers and skin protectants, including ingredients and components, at Clarcon Biological Chemistry Laboratory's facility in Roy, Utah, the Food and Drug Administration said. http://www.physorg.com/news168412282.html Medicine & Health Sun, 02 Aug 2009 06:40:02 EST news168412282 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers from the University of Wyoming and an institute in Germany have completed a project that, for the first time, has identified how sunlight changes activity of a particular class of proteins called BLUF domain photoreceptors. BLUF is short for Blue Light Using Flavin adenine dinucleotide. http://www.physorg.com/news166286082.html Biology Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:35:20 EST news166286082 A newly discovered receptor in a strain of Escherichia coli might help explain why people often get sicker when they're stressed. http://www.physorg.com/news155841436.html Medicine & Health Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:17:46 EST news155841436 A Purdue University researcher has found a way to eliminate bacteria in packaged foods such as spinach and tomatoes, a process that could eliminate worries concerning some food-borne illnesses. http://www.physorg.com/news155230070.html Chemistry Mon, 02 Mar 2009 15:28:11 EST news155230070 Signs were posted at several shorelines and parks in Richmond, Calif., warning that water might be contaminated with harmful bacteria after nearly 1 million gallons of runoff and raw sewage overflowed and spilled into San Francisco Bay. http://www.physorg.com/news154768320.html Space & Earth Wed, 25 Feb 2009 07:12:43 EST news154768320 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at the University of British Columbia have discovered a mimic of one of "nature's antibiotics" that can be used to coat medical devices to prevent infection and rejection. http://www.physorg.com/news152466952.html Chemistry Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:56:45 EST news152466952 A component of DNA that can both stimulate and suppress the immune system, depending on the dosage, may hold hope for treating cancer and infection, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. http://www.physorg.com/news152285494.html Medicine & Health Tue, 27 Jan 2009 13:32:07 EST news152285494 Like something from a horror movie, the swarm of bacteria ripples purposefully toward their prey, devours it and moves on. Researchers at the University of Iowa are studying this behavior in Myxococcus xanthus (M. xanthus), a bacterium commonly found in soil, which preys on other bacteria. http://www.physorg.com/news144500117.html Biology Wed, 29 Oct 2008 11:55:17 EST news144500117
