Scientists seek answers on what activates deadly anthrax spores

...n in the anthrax chromosome translates into a vast array of protein structures, Claiborne said. Once they know the structures, they may not only be able to provide new details on how anthrax develops, but also pick out structural vulnerabilities that are key to designing new therapeutic agents to prevent a...

New Study from Affymetrix Laboratories Points to Changing View of How Genome Works

...ed and interpreted. By using a neutral approach to array design, tiling arrays include all non-repetitive sequence from a given genome, not just the hand-selected regions that were previously thought to be important. With the inclusion of all genomic sequences, microarrays can now be used as a discovery to...

Nanogen Issued Patent for Electronic Microarray With Memory

"This addition to our growing intellectual property portfolio illustrates our ability to develop differentiated advanced diagnostic products that add value to the company and to research and cli...

Tiny scaffolding allows stem cells to become working fat cells

...ved that the cells expressed the normally expected array of genes, and subsequent proteins and did so as well as occurs in normal tissue. So far, the researchers have kept the cells alive and thriving for several months and hope to maintain them for up to a year. "We know that the environment in which a c...

UCSD team discovers specialized, rare heart stem cells in newborns

...ls formed were totally mature and had the complete array of function that one would expect in completely differentiated heart tissue," said the study's co-first author Jason Lam, Ph.D. candidate in the IMM. The cells exhibited contractility, pumping ability, the correct electrical physiology and normal hea...

Formed in the thymus gland, T-cells begin as “precursor?cells and mature ?during this time, receptor sites on their ...

Different microarray systems more alike than previously thought

...other lab using the two-color long oligonucleotide array had the worst overall performance. But with the exception of that one lab, the results among platforms were in general agreement and the quality of expensive and inexpensive platforms was similar across the board. The researchers also note that alth...

Duke engineers develop new 3-D cardiac imaging probe

...The new Duke 3-D probe is tipped with a dime-sized array of 504 individual ultrasound sensors. Each sensor is as wide as a few human hairs. "It took a craftsman to create this probe," said Smith. "Not many graduate students could have done what Chris Pua has done." "Maintaining the size of normal TE probe...
