Lighting up life: Cold Spring Harbor Protocols presents tips for creating glowing plants

.../2007/3/pdb.ip31 ). It provides advice on choosing appropriate plant tissues, designing test proteins for maximal GFP detection, and setting up microscope equipment for imaging in plants. This information will be useful to a broad range of scientists interested in plant biology and imaging technologies. A s...

NIDA study identifies genes that might help some people abstain from smoking

...s by helping health care providers choose the most appropriate treatment based on individual differences.? Dr. Uhl and his colleagues performed a genome-wide analysis on the DNA of two types of nicotine-dependent individuals, one that was able to successfully quit the cigarette- smoking behavior and one that w...

...e characteristics, as well as mechanical functions appropriate to healthy bones. The specific tasks of the project focus on putting the finishing touches to the intelligent material, based on nanoparticles and of a biodegradable nature. Also to be developed is the cell culture in three dimensions, as well as ...

PALEOHEARING--HOW DINOSAURS HEARD THEIR WORLD Studying the auditory systems of living organisms is helping scientists to learn t...

Keeping the immune system from starting a 'food fight'

...vestigation. Cells and organisms must strike an appropriate balance between nutrient sufficiency and surplus, the researchers explained. While adequate amounts of nutrients must be obtained to ensure health and survival, chronic overeating can lead to obesity and an array of associated metabolic disorders, in...

Resistant HIV quickly hides in infants' cells

...l evaluation of newly HIV-infected infants so that appropriate choices can be made when considering possible treatments, especially since PIs are not used worldwide as first-line therapy. Such testing must be paired with further studies on available and new therapies. As Persaud remarked, "It is important to f...

Turn-ons and turn-offs for neurons

...ironments by adjusting the expression of genes for appropriate brain functions. Stress, addiction, learning and disease are all believed to change neuronal gene expression by mechanisms involving gene accessibility without changes in DNA sequences, a process called epigenetics ("above and beyond the gene”). S...

Weizmann Institute scientists develop a general 'control switch' for protein activity

...ins’ activity levels in a precise manner by giving appropriate doses of the drug. Another potential future application is in agricultural genetic engineering. The method might make it possible, for example, to create genetically engineered plants in which the precise timing of fruit ripening would be controlled ...

Resettlement in areas depopulated during the war is putting stress on the land. Thousands of refugees and internally displaced people are on the move back into this area, which is causin...

Brightening prospects of using fluorescent nanotubes in medical applications

... cadmium, which is highly toxic, and so may not be appropriate for “in vivo” applications. Nanotube fluorescence is extremely stable and can last for months. Fluorescent proteins – widely used for imaging living systems – begin fading within a few hours. Quantum dots last several days before degrading. He...
