New push for public health, AIDS spending at African Union summit

... said. "Now they have to deliver on the existing protocols and develop a serious and practical strategy." Mozambique is the only country that has, thus far, committed to allocating 15 per cent of its gross domestic product to healthcare in the four years since the goal was stated during the founding of the ...

Another Look Finds Promising Proteomics Test is Not Biologically Plausible

Female sex hormones play a vital role in defense against sexually transmitted diseases

...old true for women, they could suggest vaccination protocols under combination hormone therapy to get the best benefit from the vaccine. Work in this area is important because one in every four sexually active adults is seropositive for HSV-2 and women are much more susceptible than men. "The results directl...

Study of genomic DNA leads to new advances in cancer diagnostics

...to study drug-resistance mechanisms to develop new protocols and methods to treat cancer. Ultimately, the cellular changes that occur during cancer formation affect how the cell interacts with its microenvironment (ECM) and direct changes to the cytoskeleton and finally to the chromatin. Such changes can now ...

Study: 'homemade' gene expression technology unreliable

...a commercial microarray was used with standardized protocols for labeling the RNA, processing the microarrays, acquiring data and other elements. "The bottom line is that if you use commercial platforms, you get very good interlaboratory consistency and correlation of data," Spencer said. "We've now entered a...

wFleaBase: the Daphnia genome database

...genetic, molecular and functional genomic data and protocols for an emerging model organism, the microcrustacean Daphnia. Commonly known as the water-flea, Daphnia's ecological merit is unequaled among metazoans, largely because of its sentinel role within freshwater ecosystems and over 200 years of biological...

Anthrax spores may survive water treatment

...s into the water supply, alternate decontamination protocols (such as exposure to higher concentrations of chlorine or an alternate disinfectant for an extended period of time) may be needed as regular treatment methods may not be effective, he says. ...

Earth Rx: A microbial biotechnology prescription for global environmental health

...dvanced into high-throughput genomic and proteomic protocols that can detect specific genes and their metabolic functions with great precision and detail. Other methods can now reconstruct entire genomes of what were once "unculturable" microbes. Rittmann refers to this early period as a "profitable stamp c...

Report finds cruise industry is protecting the precious places it visits

Tests may help answer questions about GMOs and allergies

... big reason for opposition to such crops. Although protocols are in place to ask questions about the allergy-causing possibilities, there has been no test that offers definitive answers. But all of that could change as a Michigan State University researcher has developed the first animal model to test whether...

Sandia research to focus on early detection of harmful algal blooms

...elevant toxins, and establish the laboratory-based protocols for sample preparation. The long-term goal, should the initial phase of the Sandia research go as planned, is to develop small, lightweight devices that could be fielded by oceanographers and marine biologists as part of their regular monitoring sy...

End of deforestation in view? Experts advance new way to size up global forest resources

... new FAO studies, a new consistency of measurement protocols and reliable ways of translating area, volume, and tons across countries. Among the 50 nations studied, forest area in percentage terms shrank fastest from 1990 to 2005 in Nigeria and the Philippines, and expanded fastest in Viet Nam, Spain and Ch...
