Research on Worms Yields Clues on Aging

...hers alsodemonstrated that anticonvulsants did not extend life by protecting theworms from pathogenic bacteria in their environment.Ethosuximide and trimethadione did, however, significantly delayage-related declines in neuro-muscular activity. Treated wormscontinued to display the youthful traits of fast b...

Learning to fight an adversary that won't stay down

...our understanding of the activity of microbes must extend beyond the newspaper headlines reporting outbreaks of these "superbugs," so that we can put the role of these organisms in the proper evolutionary perspective. This subject, and antibiotic resistance in particular, has fascinated Davies since he bega...

Enzyme shown to help protect genomic stability

...xample, have suggested that low-calorie diets that extend life also boost Sir2 activity dramatically. ...

Experiments provide proof of how traveling in groups protects insects

...ular marching packs stretch several miles wide and extend 10 miles or so in length. And they can travel a mile or so a day. Why such groups of insects form has mystified humans for thousands of years. One firmly held belief was that God was punishing men and women for their sins. A more recent, scientific ...

Vital step in cellular migration described by UCSD medical researchers

.... If Rac were active throughout the cell, it would extend protrusions in all directions, in essence keeping the cell in one place. Until now, researchers have had limited understanding of the molecular mechanism that inhibits Rac activity in the back of the cell, to maintain directional movement. In labora...

New research indicates a 'troubled' greenhouse is brewing

...ates like those of the movie "Monsoon Wedding" may extend more widely into Africa, North America and South America, according to a University of Oregon geologist's analysis of an ancient greenhouse event. "We know the gathering greenhouse will be warm, but this new information confirms that the contrast be...

Devising Nano Vision for an Optical Microscope

...gies can circumvent this limitation. Success would extend the technology’s 400-year-long record as an indispensable imaging and measurement tool well into the expanding realm of nanotechnology. Called phase-sensitive, scatter-field optical imaging, the computer-intensive technique under development at NIST...

New RNA polymerase discovered in plants

...ome speculation that this form of polymerase might extend twice as far back in evolution,' Pikaard said. Pikaard said that it is strange that so far this kind of polymerase has been found only in plants. "Why would plants only have these?" he questioned. "It is a bit of a mystery how other organisms that ...

Effective Cancer Treatments Follow The Clock

...luences sensitivity.?/p> The findings may well extend to the effects of other anti-cancer drugs, as well as to radiation therapy and may provide a rationale for adjusting the timing of chemotherapy to make it less toxic. “There is one more very important clinical application of these findings,?Antoch sa...

Liposome finding implies electrical effect on cell development

...microtubules were observed to immediately form and extend from the phospholipid balloon, like a seed putting forth a stalk or root. Hayes believes that the phenomena may have significant implications for both cellular biology and for nanotechnology. "This finding might not only be important in its applicat...

Biodiversity hotspots identify conservation priorities

...wly identified hotspots. Three other hotspots that extend into U.S. states or territories -- the California Floristic Province, the Caribbean Islands, and Polynesia-Micronesia -- remain under severe threat. Hotspots Revisited (CEMEX, 2004) contains the results of an in-depth reanalysis of global hotspots, ...

Affymetrix Licenses Microfluidics Technology From Caliper Life Sciences

...tner for a year now, and are pleased to be able to extend the scope of our relationship with Caliper to this new area of potential value and importance to Affymetrix' customers." "We are pleased that a leading life sciences company like Affymetrix recognizes the vast potential of LabChip technologies," sai...

Buying Time Through Hibernation on Demand

Cerebral navigation: How do nerve fibers know what direction to grow in?

...nter along the way. Some signals lure the axons to extend and grow in a particular direction; others are inhibitory, making the axon turn away or stop growing. In two papers in the April 21 Neuron, researchers from Children's Hospital Boston reveal important insights into how inhibitory cues affect the gro...

Future diabetes drugs may target new protein interaction

...his point, knowing for sure whether sirtuin1 helps extend lifespan (an organism issue) or is merely involved in cellular aging (a cell-by-cell issue) in mammals will take much more work. Sirtuin1's potential as a target for treating diabetes is much closer, says Puigserver. The researchers are now probing ...
