Closing The Gap Between Science And Business
Professor Merlin Crossley from the University of New South Wales talks about three developments that have nudged science and industry closer together.
Fluorescent Switch Allows Scientists To Track Cancer
A new genetically engineered mouse will allow scientists to map the progression of cancer in real time.
Molecular Methods To Track Super-Resistant Gonorrhea
Scientists say that their new molecular approach will enhance the ability to track and contain the spread of drug-resistant gonorrhea.
Why Student Wellbeing Really Matters
How do students cope with stress, and how can universities better help them? Prof Chua Wai Fong of the University of New South Wales shares her thoughts.
Steroid Abuse – Breaking Young Men’s Hearts
Young steroid abusers are prone to extensive heart disease, especially when also on other drugs, a study has found.
Harmful Immune Responses Dampened By Blocking Cytokine IL-21
Mice lacking the receptor for the cytokine IL-21 have less severe symptoms, suggesting that IL-21 is a potential therapeutic target in immune diseases.
Global Temperatures To Rise At Least 4°C By Year 2100
Global average temperatures will rise at least 4°C by year 2100 and potentially more than 8°C by year 2200 if carbon dioxide emissions are not reduced, researchers say.
Scientists Identify Genetic Loci For Lynch Syndrome
Scientists can now identify more accurately people at high risk for Lynch Syndrome, an inherited, familial condition that increases the risk of bowel and endometrial cancer.
Worm-Like Nanoparticles More Deadly To Breast Cancer
Cylindrical shaped nanoparticles are seven times more deadly than traditional spherical ones when delivering drugs to breast cancer cells, according to a study.
