Novel ultrafast laser detection of cancer cells also may improve understanding of stem cells

... A nano-thin layering of gallium aluminum arsenide combinations send up numerous tiny beams from a small cross-sectional generating area. These beams are reinforced or thwarted by the position and density of the mitochondria. "The pictures we get from normal and cancer cells are very different," says Gourley. "M...

Great White shark evolution debate involves WSU Lake Campus geology professor

...itizes the picture to establish grids of different combinations that are analyzed by a sophisticated computer program. He even uses an electron microscope to view different serration designs of shark teeth. "Our analysis of their teeth shows that Great White and mako sharks have very similar tooth growth traject...

Reducing malarial transmission in Africa

...icies and use more expensive drugs, including drug combinations that will hopefully slow the development of resistance and minimize transmission of resistant parasites. In this month's premier open-access journal PLoS Medicine Colin Sutherland and colleagues from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicin...

Same-Sex Mating Discovered in a Toxic Fungus

...s a means to produce offspring with different gene combinations that can adapt more rapidly to new environments," said HHMI investigator Joseph Heitman, M.D., Ph.D., of Duke, senior author of the study. "The findings suggest for the first time that the fungus has developed a novel type of sexual cycle, allowing ...

CoPub Mapper: mining MEDLINE based on search term co-publication

...E were identified in which pairs of gene names and combinations of gene name with specific keywords were co-mentioned. MEDLINE search strings for 15,621 known genes and 3,731 keywords were generated and validated. PubMed IDs were retrieved from MEDLINE and relative probability of co-occurrences of all gene-gene ...
