Protein offers way to stop microscopic parasites in their tracks
...ple per year through damage to red blood cells and clogging of the capillaries that feed the brain and other organs. Cryptosporidium, which causes diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms, is one of the most common causes of water-borne disease in the world. "These other parasites are more devastating in terms ...Researchers show how air pollution can cause heart disease
...dy. Atherosclerosis--the hardening, narrowing, and clogging of the arteries--is an important component of cardiovascular disease. The study, done in collaboration with the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and University of Michigan, looked at the effects of airborne particles measuring less than 2.5 microns, ...Cholesterol gets 'thumbs up' for role in digit development
...rap as the sticky, fatty substance responsible for clogging arteries, Vanderbilt University Medical Center researchers recently found that the attachment of cholesterol to an important developmental protein controls the development of fingers and toes in mice. Without cholesterol, mice developed extra digits,...'Biobullets' fight harmful mussels
... has ravaged U.S. waterways for nearly two decades clogging water pipes, virtually wiping out some native mussels species and causing billions of dollars in industrial damage. The new microcapsules, which contain toxins that dissolve within a zebra mussel's digestive tract, offer a safe and cost-effective way...Sticky surfaces turn slippery with the flip of a molecular light switch

The Captiva 10 um glass fiber and 20 um polypropylene filter plates are designed for clarifying highly particle-laden samples, such as freshly thawed plasma, preventing sample transfer problems due to pipette tip clogging....Measuring multiple apoptosis parameters with the Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer
...of genomic DNA(like whole cell lysates) may leadto clogging of the chip. Therecommended extraction protocoleliminates such interference ofgenomic DNA. In addition, fragmentedDNA is concentrated,which permits the apoptosis measurementof low cell numbers. Conclusion ...Maximize Viral RNA Yield from Biological Fluid
