DNA Molecules Used To Assemble Nanoparticles

...cules on the ends of their arms. It is possible to build a single dendrimer carrying many different kinds of molecules such as contrast agents and drugs, but the synthesis process is long and difficult, requiring months for each new molecule added to the dendrimer in sequential steps. And the yield of usef...

Researchers reveal the infectious impact of salmon farms on wild salmon

...uveniles have had the time to put on body mass and build resistance. The location of the farm near the natal rivers undermines this natural coping strategy. The field study also discovered a new cause for alarm: once the young salmon pass the farm and pick up the sea lice, the migrating school becomes a m...

Poplar trees redirect resources in response to simulated attack

...s plant scientist Michael Thorpe who is helping to build the plant-imaging program at Brookhaven. Plants subjected to the jasmonic acid "attack" produced more radiolabeled sugar and delivered more of it to the roots than plants untreated with the hormone. "This is pretty convincing evidence that plants ca...

Each T cell uses the resulting combination of genes to make a receptor that lets the cell recognize a specific target. When stimulated to multiply, each of those cells produce an army of immune cells against their designated ta...

Antibodies from plants protect against anthrax

...possible. Vaccination can take a very long time to build immunity. Antibodies give you immediate protection," says Baillie. "Plant-produced antibodies are also safer because there is no risk of contamination by human or animal pathogens, and plant viruses are not known to infect humans," says Yusibov. "I...
