I don't know how many people the issue affected, but for some odd reason, people who didn't vote in the poll would have a messed up layout (bottom right sidebar displaying all over the place). This issue is fixed now; please let me know of any problems you have with the website! There's a contact form on the right sidebar menu. Suggestions are also appreciated ;)

New features incoming :

- Newsfeed displaying links to the most recent biology news on the net, automatically. Bayesian filtering is cool to play with!

- Print format. When you will print articles, only what's interesting will be printed! No ads, no sidebars! How cool is that?

Researchers at GlycoFi and Dartmouth College have reported the first production of monoclonal antibodies with human sugar structures in yeast.

Today researchers in Germany announce they have finished the first complete analysis of the "molecular machines" in one of biology's most important model organisms: S. cerevisiae (baker's yeast). The study from the biotechnology company Cellzome, in collaboration with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), appears in this week's online edition of Nature.

In the first quantitative, real-time imaging study of the travels of the malaria parasite Plasmodium through mammalian tissue, researchers at the Pasteur Institute in Paris found the parasites developing in an unexpected place: the lymph nodes.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School have discovered the gene responsible for a type of ataxia, an incurable degenerative brain disease affecting movement and coordination.

Adult stem cells may be free of the ethical concerns that hamper embryonic stem cell research, but they still pose formidable scientific challenges. Chief among these is the doggedness with which adult stem cells differentiate into mature tissue the moment they're isolated from the body. This makes it nearly impossible for researchers to multiply them in the laboratory. And because adult stem cells are so rare, that makes it difficult to use them for treating disease.
