Using biochemical and bio-informatics tools, researchers developed a new method to analyze the structure of the venom toxins. Thousands of toxins hidden deep within the venom of a sea cone snail in Queensland has been discovered by Australian researchers. The discovered toxins could be a new target to develop drugs to treat pain, cancer and other diseases. The study was published in the journal PNAS.

A research group at Umeå University in Sweden has managed to capture and describe a protein structure. The discovery lays the base for developing designed enzymes as catalysts to new chemical reactions for instance in biotechnological applications. The result of the study is published in the journal Nature Communications.

A new study offers clues as to why a swine flu vaccine given to 6 million people in Britain was found to have triggered narcolepsy in rare cases. Scientists believe that the Pandemrix vaccine, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK), could harm a critical portion of the brain used for regulating sleep. Pandemrix was recommended by the U.K. government during the 2009-2010 swine flu outbreak, but was withdrawn after medical records showed a growing number of narcolepsy cases among those who received the vaccine.Researchers believe that the vaccine could harm a critical portion of the brain used for regulating sleep. The vaccine caused chronic illness in about one in 55,000 recipients. The study is printed in the journal Science Transitional Medicine.

Tel Aviv University and Harvard Medical School researchers developed a non-invasive technique that harnesses pulsed electric fields to generate growth of new skin tissue. The novel non-invasive tissue stimulation technique use microsecond-pulsed, high-voltage, non-thermal electric fields to produce scar-free skin rejuvenation. The report were published in the journal Scientific Reports.
