Wright bros. upstaged! Dinos invented biplanes

...ion that they have previously used to successfully analyze the flying abilities of pterosaurs and Archaeopteryx. Based on the aeronautical analysis, it appears that Microraptor flights looked rather like those seen today among some "monoplane" forest birds -- something called undulating phugoid gliding, Chat...

Cyberkinetics, Case to develop system to help restore extremity function

...urosurgeons a new resource to detect, transmit and analyze neural activity. Cyberkinetics' BrainGate TM System is being designed to give severely paralyzed individuals, as well as individuals with motor impairment from a variety of causes, a long-term, direct brain-computer interface for the purpose of co...

Study reveals genomics of inflammation from severe injury

Scientists observe how a close bond activates the immune system

...er 18, 2005, issue of Science, reveals how T cells analyze and react to the signals of infection at the immunological synapse. Every T cell wears a unique molecule, called a T cell antigen receptor, on its surface that it uses to detect pieces of foreign proteins called antigens. These receptors exist in a...

University of Arizona plant scientists to unravel maize genome

...ities in bioinformatics help scientists manage and analyze complex data. The software used to generate the genetic map was developed by Carol Soderlund, who holds a research faculty position at BIO5 and in the department of plant sciences at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Her computer progra...

Zooming in on the protein-conducting channel

...crystal, they are diffracted. Researchers can then analyze the diffraction pattern to determine the atomic structure of the protein. The analysis by Frank and his colleagues revealed that each channel consists of two PCC subunits joined in a clamshell arrangement. The cryo-EM data also revealed two differen...

NIH launches comprehensive effort to explore cancer genomics

...as will enable researchers throughout the world to analyze and use the data in their own research to develop new diagnostics and therapies for different cancers. Recognizing that not all technologies needed for high-throughput, cost-effective analysis of the cancer genome are already in hand, TCGA also wil...

'Computer-chemistry' yields new insight into a puzzle of cell division

... large cluster of computers and custom software to analyze about one thousand trillion different conceivable shape match-ups between the molecules. That initial mega-analysis reduced the potential molecular combinations to about 1,000 possibilities, which Rudolph called both "encouraging" and "discouraging....

New technique puts brain-imaging research on its head

...f-the-art hardware and software to synchronize and analyze all of these measurements," said Genin. "The systems he has developed will allow us to explore a broad range of questions critical to understanding mild traumatic brain injury." "It's an interesting thing that in many occipital impact injuries, peo...

Scientists directly view immune cells interacting to avert autoimmunity

Technique makes it easier to see mouse embryo in all its glory

...d tomography. Computational methods are applied to analyze embryo organs for defects. "From the moment of conception, the mice under study are genetically programmed to develop tumors," Dr. Keller said. "Intentional disruption of specific genes can cause birth defects in the same mice, which teaches us im...
