Scientists have known that the drug linezolid — the first new antibiotic to enter the marketplace in 30 years — works by binding to ribosomes, the protein…
The basic structure of skin consists of an external layer, the epidermis, and an internal layer, the dermis, separated by a basal membrane. A study of the…
When cells grow and reproduce, they must constantly produce new proteins from their building blocks, 20 different amino acids. These proteins are put together…

The European Commission funded project, costing about €1.2m, is being coordinated by Dr. Lisa Looney, Director of the DCU Materials Processing Research Centre,…
Ultrasensitive genetic detection methods could revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, all the techniques until now have been far too…
The research centers on the interplay of three factors known to have a role in reproduction, growth and/or longevity. The first, vitellogenin (Vg), is a yolk…
Mechanoluminescence is light generated when a crystal, such as sugar or quartz, is fractured by grinding, cleaving or via other mechanical means. Sir Francis…
Since islands have many times fewer species than the continent, it seemed only logical that continents were rich sources from which islands drew only a small…
The ‘quantum dot’ nanoparticles used by Van Manen and Otto replace existing fluorescent labels that are employed to enable the cell’s biomolecules to light up…
