Chemists create 'Superbowl' molecule; May lead to better health

...ture certain molecules and hold them until they're ready for release, the researcher says. Superbowl molecules are similar in function to buckyballs, the experimental soccer-ball shaped molecules also known as fullerenes (C60), which also show promise for drug delivery and other useful applications. Where...

Growth in the sea comes down to a struggle for iron

..., the ship was loaded with equipment and supplies, ready for an extended stay at sea. Its subsurface pontoon hull give it more stability in choppy seas, a benefit to Wells who normally gets seasick on these voyages. For nine days, she steamed northwest to rendezvous with a research vessel from the Univers...

Newly-discovered class of genes determines ?and restricts ?stem cell fate

...gical capacitor," because Pax3 tells the cell: Get ready to go, but at the same time won't let it proceed." Pangenes Express Behavioral Qualities of Pan and Peter Pan Epstein notes that this research is conceptually new since he suggests that a single gene can both tell a cell what it should become and r...

Researchers Uncover Key Step In Manufacture of Memory Protein

...s outer membrane, where they remain until they are ready to be secreted. Once the cell receives an electrical signal from another neuron, these vesicles fuse with the cell’s outer membrane, open up, and release mBDNF. During their research, Dr. Loh and her colleagues observed mice genetically incapable of...

Gene therapy converts dead bone graft to new, living tissue

...ned because their handling ?keeping them alive and ready to use ?is far harder than Schwarz's viral paste, which can be stored at room temperature and doesn't interfere with the normal grafting surgery. "We're very excited about the prospects of this technology," says Schwarz. "Our ultimate goal is to app...

UCSD researchers maintain stem cells without contaminated animal feeder layers

...stem cells in a continuous undifferentiated state, ready for research. Undifferentiation means the stem cells have not begun the developmental path to become specific human tissue or organs. "Our findings provide a new way to generate human stem cell lines without contamination by animal cells or products...

Scientists develop new color-coded test for protein folding

...formational changes in proteins. "While we're not ready to mass-produce this technology, we believe it will eventually be useful for testing other, more complicated proteins," Zare said, noting that a gold nanoparticle sensor could turn out to be a quick and inexpensive way for doctors to identify antibod...

Gene Therapy For Parkinson's Disease Moves Forward In Animals

...nd we're working on this as we speak. But it's not ready for clinical trials.?/p> About a half million Americans struggle with Parkinson's disease, including former Attorney General Janet Reno, former heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali and film star Michael J. Fox, according to the National Insti...

Estrogen-like Component of Plastic Stimulates Growth of Certain Prostate Cancer Cells

...ults we see in cell culture in response to BPA are ready to bemoved to appropriate animal models next,?said Dr. Knudsen. The effectof the environmental non-steroidal BPA on human prostate cancer tumorimplants in laboratory animal models will shed additional light onwhether the synthetic pseudo-estrogen enc...

NJIT Presidential Award winner takes stem cell research another step

...ilment would visit a doctor and be injected with a ready supply of stem cells. The cells would seek out the patient's damaged bone tissue and begin to generate healthy tissue. After six months of treatments, the patient's bone would begin to heal. Arinzeh's drive to advance the science of stem cell resear...

Although the work is not yet ready for human patients, Seung Kim, MD, PhD, the lead author and assistant professor of developmental biology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, said it could lead to new ways of transplanting insulin-producing cells into people with diabetes,...

Researchers find new genes necessary to make embryo

...s expressed by the mother and imparted to the egg, ready to be used during the earliest stages after fertilization. They discovered over 150 additional genes required to make an embryo beyond what was previously known, leading them to conclude that many more genes will be found in the future. The researche...

... then be safely stored in the Cryoleaf until it is ready for use, at which point it is carefully thawed, then fertilized. To date, 15 patients at the McGill Reproductive Centre have had embryo transfer produced from vitrified eggs, resulting in 7 pregnancies including this livebirth. "The results are part...

Revolutionary nanotechnology illuminates brain cells at work

...of the glutamate as the neurons returned to normal ready to fire again." "This is a tremendously exciting technology," remarked Wolf Frommer, leader of the FRET team at Carnegie. "I'm anxious to see what we can learn about the vast complexities of the brain over the coming years, such as the role of glial...

Ed Holdener, Head of Global Pharma Development at Roche, said: “We are proud to go live with our publicly accessible protocol registry and clinical trial results database today. Transpar...

Cellular Defects in Premature Aging Disease are Reversible

...mazing that we could take a cell that looked about ready to die, and a few days later it was healthy and ready to divide again," said Misteli. Misteli noted that these results demonstrate a proof-of-principle t...

Immune system's distress signal tells bacteria when to strike back

...always "probing for a weakness in the host and are ready and willing to strike whenever they find one." He and his colleagues, however, are testing an alternative theory: that "bacteria are perfectly content in their niche until signals from the host ?usually during stress, such as after major surgery ?let...

UNC plant researchers discover proteins interact to form hair-trigger protection against invaders
