New research by the University of Bristol has shown for the first time that omega-3 in fish oil could “substantially and significantly” reduce the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis.
Dr Marieke Dubbelboer in the Department of French has recently published a book on Alfred Jarry’s experimental and satirical Almanachs du Père Ubu, works which to date have received little critical attention.
A new study by academics from the University of Bristol's School of Oral and Dental Sciences suggests stripping some mouth bacteria of their access key to gangs of other pathogenic oral bacteria could help prevent gum disease and tooth loss.
A University of Bristol study has looked at whether certain types of drugs used to treat high blood pressure, also called hypertension, might have beneficial effects in reducing the number of new cases of Alzheimer’s disease each year.

An academic from the University of Bristol has been rewarded for his achievements in helping to promote the rights of others at the annual 2011 Liberty Human Rights Awards.
Researchers from the University of Bristol and Max-Planck-Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems have presented a methodology that uses mathematics to exploit easily obtainable information to a greater effect and as a result can reduce the amount of additional data that needs to be collected.
The future of drug design lies in developing therapies that can target specific cellular processes without causing adverse reactions in other areas of the nervous system. Scientists at the Universities of Bristol and Liège in Belgium have discovered how to design drugs to target specific areas of the brain.
Scientists have shown that a new molecule in the earth’s atmosphere has the potential to play a significant role in off-setting global warming by cooling the planet. In a breakthrough paper published in Science, researchers from the University of Manchester, the University of Bristol and Sandia National Laboratories report the potentially revolutionary effects of Criegee biradicals.
Antibiotic resistance has become an escalating health issue that threatens our ability to control bacterial infections. To help tackle this global health problem an international collaboration, comprising researchers from the UK and Canada, has been awarded around £4.5 million to develop new strategies for treating ‘superbugs’.
