"I think we've come a long way in the last year, from two unemployed guys with just an idea to having good jobs and a good set of data," Betzig noted. "Now if we can begin to refine this technique, we should really be able to take it to a lot...

Case Western Reserve University researchers find protein associated with brain cell death

...ll, when it produces an inflammatory response when coming into contact with beta-amyloid fibrils that form the harmful brain plaque. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate potential signaling intermediates upstream from the oxidation, said the researchers. They had an interest in a group of sign...
