Living taste cells produced outside the body

...he body in controlled laboratory conditions. To address this long-standing problem, the Monell researchers utilized a novel approach. Instead of starting with mature taste cells, they obtained basal cells from rat taste buds and placed these cells in a tissue culture system containing nutrients and growth...

H5N1 avian flu virus vaccine induces immune responses in healthy adults

...Elias A. Zerhouni, M.D. "We are working hard to address the many challenges that remain with regard to the development of an H5N1 vaccine," adds NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. "For example, potentially protective immune responses were seen most frequently at the highest dose of this vaccine. We are...

Bioengineers create stable networks of blood vessels

...g of the neuro-vascular niche and opens up ways to address repair of severed nerves," said Joseph Madri professor of pathology at Yale School of Medicine and a co-author. "We can now study what affects the attraction and repulsion of nerve growth and drug delivery in a model system that can be used in vitro ...

Feeling old?

...e about this supplement's effect on breakdown. To address this, researchers compared protein breakdown in young (8-month) and old (22-month) rats. They discovered that the slow down in degradation that normally follows a meal does not occur in old animals, so there is excessive breakdown. But adding leucine...

Setting the standard for computer models of life

...the way that it's encoded. MIRIAM is an attempt to address these issues." MIRIAM has two parts: (1) a set of checks that match a model to its description ('reference correspondence', often a publication in a scientific journal), and (2) a set of 'annotation schemes'. The first of these documents the model's...

Biologists discover new pathway into plant cells

...d while it may lead ultimately to some way to help address this plant disease problem in wheat, the more important discovery is the new pathway into plant cells. "We still don't know exactly how the protein penetrates the cell, but it's clear that it does," said Andrew Karplus, an OSU professor of biochemis...

UCR environmental scientists propose chemical solution to cleaning California's Salton Sea

...ll, which might even get worse. Doing something to address the Salton Sea's problems on the other hand could greatly stimulate eco-tourism here and boost the economy of this region." L. B. Mason, C. C. Goodson, M. R. Matsumoto and M. A. Anderson of UCR assisted with the study, which was conducted in 2003-20...

Scientists crack code for motor neuron wiring

...tion maps of Hox expression that were necessary to address more complex aspects of Hox function in motor neuron diversification," said Jessell. To give an idea of the extent of complexity, Jessell explained, "there are few motor columns, yet within each of the columns that projects to the limb there are at ...

Wild birds help to create human flu vaccine

...ilities," she said. "One of our goals has been to address the needs of developing nations by providing an inexpensive, field-portable test kit for respiratory illnesses to the World Health Organization for global screening of respiratory illness." Kuchta said the team hopes to cut down on the 11-hour viru...

Phenolic compounds may explain Mediterranean diet benefits

...his study, said it was well-designed and will help address controversy about whether olive oil benefits or impairs blood vessel health. "One of the beauties of this study is that using a randomized, sequential, crossover study, so that the same patients were exposed to the same oil, once with low phenolic c...

Overfishing may drive endangered seabird to rely upon lower quality food

...ts support the need for fisheries to be managed to address their broader impacts on the ecosystem, the researchers said. "Traditionally, decisions on how much to harvest were made by calculating the impact of fishing on a single species, or by determining how much can be fished in order for the population to...

Scientists narrow the time limits for the human and chimpanzee split

... other previous study. Gene studies are needed to address this problem because the interpretation of the earliest fossils of humans at the ape/human boundary are controversial and because almost no fossils of chimpanzees have been discovered. "No study before has taken into account all of the error involve...

Limiting the damage in stroke

... after stroke and other types of brain damage." To address this hypothesis, Schwaninger's group had established a sophisticated method of creating a stroke-like condition in mice, a model that can be used to investigate new therapies. What would happen if the activity of NF-kB in neurons were blocked after ...
