(University of Warwick) Chemistry researchers at the University of Warwick and the John Innes Center, have found a novel signalling molecule that could be a key that will open up hundreds of new antibiotics unlocking them from the DNA of the Streptomyces family of bacteria.

Scientists at the new Nuclear-Magnetic Resonance unit at the University of Warwick have discovered how a high-tech glass of milk is helping bones mend.

(University of Warwick) Chemists are pulling cancer onto a sucker punch by getting infected cells to drop their guard -- according to research published today.

They are using the metal ruthenium as a catalyst to a cancer-busting reaction which calls up an old cellular enemy -- oxidants -- as an ally.

A large 3-D model of the Blue Tongue virus has been created by WMG engineering researchers at the University of Warwick that will help biologists devise new ways to combat the virus, and protect millions of livestock from infection.

The model is 5,200,000 times the size of the real thing.

(University of Warwick) Carbon nanotubes' potential as a super material is blighted by the fact that when first made they often take the form of an unprepossessing pile of sooty black mess in the bottom of a test tube.

Now researchers in the University of Warwick's department of chemistry have found a way of producing carbon nanotubes in which they instantly form a highly sensitive ready made electric circuit.

Researchers at WMG at the University of Warwick have devised a high-tech way to add anticounterfeiting to plastic products as they are created in the molding process.

The process could cost less than one percent of the total cost of manufacturing the product.

Researchers at WMG at the University of Warwick have devised a way of using a laser that transforms MDF giving it a surface finish that looks like some of the most expensive wood grains.

A team led by Peter J. Sadler at the University of Warwick and Sandeep Verma of the Indian Institute of Technology has been able to show that transferrin can clump together to form wormlike fibrils, a process which may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, or Alzheimer's.

Researchers at the University of Warwick and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur have discovered that the mechanism that we rely on to transport iron safely through our blood can collapse into a state which grows long worm-like "fibrils" banded by lines of iron rust.

This process could provide the first insight into how iron gets deposited in the brain to cause some forms of Parkinson's & Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases.
