Angelman syndrome deficits rescued in mice

...e basically everything." Although impossible to apply the genetic engineering used in the current study ...d be a therapeutic target." But the results may apply more broadly, Weeber said, to other types of mental retardation syndromes that remained unexplained ...

University of Alberta researchers unravel intricate animal patterns

...ers and traveling breathers. This model doesn’t apply to specific species, says Eftimie. "However, we can think of those flocks of birds that fly in one direction, and then suddenly change direction 180 degrees, and compare this with the zigzagging type of pattern shown by the numerical simulations. Or ...

Homing pigeons get their bearings from their beaks

... Equally, this concept might not only exclusively apply to birds, since it has been shown that many animals display behavior that is modified or controlled by the Earth’s magnetic field. The meaning of these minute iron oxide crystals goes farther than their amazing ability to help pigeons home. Resea...

Study to explore using magnets to correct 'sunken chest'

... lead investigator of the study. "We needed to apply a force to gradually remodel the chest wall withou...ig operation," Harrison said. "A better idea is to apply a little force over a longer time, like the orthodontist moves your teeth." The use of the magnet...

Genes and biomarkers that allow doctors to choose the right therapy for the right patient

...ndividual’s response to Tykerb. "Our goal is to apply advanced cellular genomic strategies to assist clinical drug development by finding gene states that predict a patient’s response to a specific drug, and which combination of drugs produce the most favorable response." said Spyro Mousses, Ph.D., dire...

How genetic malfunction causes a form of retardation

...new insight into the mechanism underlying NS could apply to other inherited forms of retardation. Freda Miller of the Hospital for Sick Children and University of Toronto and colleagues published their findings in the April 19, 2007 issue of the journal Neuron, published by Cell Press. NS is a relative...

Nanotechnology shows promise as next wrinkle fighter

...ocess, Ilsoon said the principles show promise to apply to human skin. The research is supported by the National Science Foundation and the Michigan Economic Development Corp. On all fronts, it's all about nailing a wrinkle before it starts. "Everything starts at a really small scale, so if we can p...

Army research mission focused on autism

...esearch, and researchers and clinicians wishing to apply their knowledge to autism, are encouraged to submit proposals. In a few weeks, more details will be available through the CDMRP Web site at http://cdmrp.army.mil . Research proposals will be evaluated using a two-tiered review process with peer and ...

Engineering the heart piece by piece

...etched?using a specially made device that can both apply forces and measure the forces generated when the tissue begins contracting and beating on its own. In the new paper, the team reports that it has achieved a doubling of the contracting force in just seven days, by stretching the BEHM at 1 Hertz. ...

Computer with brain connections changing quality of life of paralyzed

... environments because most of the questions do not apply to the life of a paralyzed person. Special instruments had to be developed," says Niels Birbaumer, Ph.D., author of the study. This contrasts previously accepted notions as many doctors believe that the quality of life in total paralysis is extrem...

Salmon farms kill wild fish, study shows

...udy was conducted in British Columbia, the results apply globally. "This study really raises the question of whether we can have native salmon and large scale aquaculture ?as it is currently practiced ?in the same place," said Dr. Ransom Myers, a fisheries biologist at Dalhousie University. "It also rai...

Living view in animals shows how cells decide to make proteins

...difficult, he said. "This is a powerful tool to apply to mouse genetics to learn when and where in the animals' bodies alternative splicing decisions are made and, eventually, to learn what factors are critical in making these decisions," Garcia-Blanco said. "Given the importance of alternative splic...

Gold nanoparticles prove to be hot stuff

...d even picoscale mechanics by using lasers to both apply force to and track the position of fragile biomolecules such as DNA or protein by manipulating a tiny sphere--typically polystyrene--attached to the molecule. The JILA team would like to find new microsphere materials that can be trapped by laser rad...

Smashing the time it takes to repair our bones

...istic effect was produced. "That means when you apply both the mechanical and electrical stimulants together a result greater than the sum of the two stimulants applied individually is achieved. It creates a greater output," he said. Dr Hannay said that unfortunately when bones fractured or broke, es...

NHGRI aims to make DNA sequencing faster, more cost effective

...for Label Free Genome Sequencing" This team will apply force spectroscopy, a technique used to understand the mechanical properties of polymer molecules or chemical bonds, to DNA undergoing arrested polymerization to initially demonstrate one-molecule-at-a-time analysis of changes in molecular mechanics ...

Edible coatings will be the packaging of the future

..., enterprises do not have the technology needed to apply the system. For the moment, its current use is restricted to products with high added-value. This is why, amongst the most immediate projects of the research team from the Food Technology Area at the University, is the application of edible films to ...

'Failed' experiment yields a biocontrol agent that doesn't trigger antibiotic resistance

... in nature. It's a versatile concept that doesn't apply to just one antimicrobial agent." Filutowicz and Burgess, wine enthusiasts who are as comfortable fermenting grapes as they are transforming bacterial plasmids, partnered with students from the Weinert Applied Ventures Program at the UW-Madison Sch...

Gene-bender proteins may sway to DNA

...is perturbation. Ansari's group was the first to apply the laser temperature-jump technique to study the dynamics of a protein-DNA complex. The studies were done in collaboration with Donald Crothers, Sterling Professor Emeritus of chemistry at Yale University, who examined the protein-DNA interaction ...

Researchers develop technologies to devour food pathogens

...urrently working on an industrial tunnel system to apply the gas to produce," Morgan said. His team is also investigating using the gas to sterilize processing equipment. "This would be very helpful, as it could speed up the sterilization process and eliminate the heat energy currently used for such proces...

Scientist's persistence sheds light on marine science riddle

...ize in the Deep Sea," Rosenberg and his co-authors apply the island rule to deep-sea animals using Rosenberg's detailed database of marine snails. They find a similar pattern: when species colonize the deep sea, large-bodied species become smaller and small-bodied species become larger. "I've been buildi...
