Immunity mechanism discovered

6/18/2013
Scientists at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Medicine have discovered a mechanism that is used to protect the body from harmful bacteria. Platelets, a component of blood typically associated with clotting, were discovered to actively search for specific bacteria, and upon detection, seal it off from the rest of the body. The findings, which were published in Nature Immunology this we... [Comments]

Novel enzyme from tiny gribble could prove a boon for biofuels research

6/18/2013
Researchers from the United Kingdom, the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and the University of Kentucky have recently published a paper describing a novel cellulose-degrading enzyme from a marine wood borer Limnoria quadripunctata , commonly known as the gribble. Gribbles are biologically intriguing because they exhibit a relatively unique ability to prod... [Comments]

Computer modeling technique goes viral at Brandeis

6/18/2013
It's not a hacker lab. At Brandeis University, sophisticated computational models and advances in graphical processing units are helping scientists understand the complex interplay between genomic data, virus structure and the formation of the virus' outer "shell" critical for replication. "We hope that some of what we are finding will help researchers alter virus assembly, leaving viru... [Comments]

NOAA, partners predict possible record-setting deadzone for Gulf of Mexico

6/18/2013
Scientists are expecting a very large "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico and a smaller than average hypoxic level in the Chesapeake Bay this year, based on several NOAA-supported forecast models. NOAA-supported modelers at the University of Michigan, Louisiana State University, and the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium are forecasting that this year's Gulf of Mexico hypoxic "dea...
