Physicists Unite To Develop Anthrax Detection Method

...he research reported in Science represents further refinement of the FAST-CARS method, using ultrashort broadband pulses for the first two laser bursts and a longer, tailored narrowband pulse for the third laser probe. “This combination of broadband preparation and time-delayed narrowband probing yields a ver...

New Treatment For Psoriasis Is Highly Effective

....' Krueger and colleagues at Celera predict that refinement of disease association patterns to specific genetic variants within IL-12/23 and the IL-23 receptor will play an important role in the elucidation of the causes of psoriasis, and IBD. Krueger says that, 'Further studies should help determine whethe...
