Growth in the sea comes down to a struggle for iron
...icans' interest stems in part from the first SEEDS experiment in 2001. Japanese scientists had recorded the largest phytoplankton bloom of any of the iron fertilization tests conducted to that date. The question that remains unanswered is why the diatoms showed signs of nutrient stress before the iron and other...Study Demonstrates Gene Expression Microarrays are Comparable and Reproducible

The NIH recently demonstrated that microarrays experiments performed in different labs "have a high degree of reproducibility , as long as standardized protocols are carefully followed". Good news for...Gene therapy converts dead bone graft to new, living tissue
...ansplanted skeletal graft into living tissue in an experiment involving mice. The advance, which uses gene therapy to stimulate the body into treating the foreign splint as living bone, is a promising development for the thousands of cancer and trauma patients each year who suffer with fragile and failing bone ...Sea skate experiment sheds light on human cell transport
...ty of Chicago collaborator, Goldstein conducted an experiment with the red blood cells of skates to understand how these skinny, graceful fish can swim from salt water to fresh water. For humans, such a drastic environmental change would prompt an equally drastic physiological change: Our cells would take in to...Automatic extraction of gene/protein biological functions from biomedical text
