NJIT engineer poised to take stem cell research a step forward

...ssion on Science and Technology, will allow her to apply her stem cell techniques to help patients who have cartilage damage. She and Jaffe will spur cartilage regeneration by combing stem cells with bio-degradable scaffolds that mimic fibers found in human cartilage tissue. They will test different scaffo...

The closest look ever at the cell's machines

...ble. "The same principles discovered here in yeast apply to human cells," says Gitte Neubauer, Vice President at Cellzome. "Drug targets and pathologically relevant proteins are parts of machines and pathways." The collaboration between Cellzome and EMBL has been very successful, she says, producing fund...

UCSD study finds anthrax toxins also harmful to fruit flies

... Guichard first conceived this study in 2002, to apply her experience in molecular genetic studies to research that had medical application. At that time, after the spate of anthrax-laced letters in 2001, anthrax became a charged topic in the research community and the general public. "Anthrax is still ...

UCLA scientists discover immune response to HIV differs, even in identical twins

...of this study have broader implications, and could apply to other viruses such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), a herpes virus that causes opportunistic infections in immunosuppressed individuals, and hepatitis C, the latter being similar to HIV in both its changeable and chronic nature. The study represented ...

New technique puts brain-imaging research on its head

...nt of the brain." Bayly and his collaborators can apply the levels of deformation they have found with their subjects to in vitro experiments or to animal models to learn even more about brain matter deformation. They have done experiments on humans with the head dropping forward, and plan to study diffe...

Scientists show how thinking can harm brain cells

...earning and memory. "This mechanism does not just apply to HIV," Gelbard said. "It applies to Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's and any neurodegenerative diseases that have synaptic dysfunction with inflammation, which is virtually all of them." In lab studies, brain cells were treated with di...

Sahara's edge studied from ground, air and space to improve water management

...will be used in support of an ambitious project to apply satellite remote sensing to improve monitoring and management of vast water aquifers concealed beneath the desert. High-resolution radar as well as hyperspectral optical imagery was acquired during flights across two test areas in southern Tunisia. ...

Effective, safe anthrax vaccine can be grown in tobacco plants

...formed a biotechnology company called Chlorogen to apply his work in chloroplast genetic engineering. In 2004, he won UCF's Pegasus Professor Award, the top honor given to a faculty member who excels in teaching, research and service.

'Sharp' older brains are not the same as younger brains

...cience released online Nov. 13. Should it prove to apply as well to human brains, it could lead eventually to the development of new preventive treatments and therapies based on what healthy older brains are doing, rather than on the less relevant, younger brain model, according to study co-author Michela ...

Sperm trading can resolve hermaphrodite mating conflicts

...ow established theories regarding sexual selection apply in cases of hermaphroditic species. For example, combining male and female gender in one and the same individual, hermaphrodites have been predicted to frequently be at conflict (theoretically speaking) about which sexual roles to play, because matin...

Researchers quantify more noise in gene expression

...n and the way it is described mathematically would apply to other types of cells and other species. "Individual yeast cells exist at various stages of their growth cycle, and this extrinsic variability explains a large component of the noise that must be accounted for in creating a mathematical model of t...

Computer models aid understanding of antibody-dependent enhancement in spread of dengue fever

... dengue, the researchers believe the results could apply to any disease in which partial immunity increases pathogen replication rates. "Experimental dengue vaccines will soon be entering into large-scale clinical trials. We must understand the processes that affect transmission--such as antibody-depende...

War on terror meets war on cancer
