New methods of gene delivery using lasers

...mple and versatile miniature violet laser which is compatible with standard microscopes. The method is very powerful, and in contrast to other methods the team can select individual cells to be treated at will under the microscope. The new technique involves the violet laser being focused onto cell membranes f...

Integration of Agilent's MS technology, Proteome Systems' software to help scientists in proteomics research

...s of protein-associated glycans (polysaccharides), compatible with the Agilent XCT, XCT Plus and XCT Ultra ion trap mass spectrometers. Proteome Systems developed GlycomIQ to address the emerging field of glycomics, which examines how glycosylation, or the addition of sugars to proteins, affects biological pro...

Double triumph in stem cell quest

...ic cloning have the surface markers that make them compatible with the donor's immune system. The biggest question, though, is whether the stembrids really are true ESCs. Verlinsky says the cells express a number of ESC markers. His team has also shown the cells can differentiate into a number of cell types, i...

UCLA scientists store materials in cells natural vaults

...design a package for this biomaterial that will be compatible with living cells and will not provoke an immune reaction. Previous efforts have relied upon viruses or artificial chemicals to house and deliver drugs or other substances to targeted cells. RESEARCH: Scientists at the David Geffen School of Medicin...

Software Tool for Converting Scientific Text into a Database of Functional Relationships

... MedScan and manually curated data are normally of compatible quality, but the efficiency is incomparable, and it is easy to verify and replicate the results of MedScan work." The new version of MedScan adds flexibility on the level of entity recognition and information extraction. It has become simple to cust...

Lipids get new comprehensive classification system

...ible to accommodate future novel classes and to be compatible with modern-day informatics requirements," explains the paper's first author Dr. Eoin Fahy, of the San Diego Supercomputer Center at the University of California, San Diego, who serves as LIPID MAPS' Bioinformatics Project Coordinator. In the LIPID ...

Millennium Ecosystem Assessment: Many of 2 billion dryland dwellers at risk as land degrades

...n pressure not accompanied by management practices compatible with the new population size, is the cause of degradation." As populations in drylands increase, especially in urban areas, water scarcity increases in tandem. Drylands contain 43% of the world's cultivated lands, much of it dependent on water from ...

Past illegal blood donation in China linked to hepatitis C virus infection

...n rural China illegally pooled blood and reinfused compatible red blood cells to permit more frequent donations. Although government action has markedly curtailed such practices since the late 1990s, blood collection and banking methods in such settings still need to be monitored and improved, the article noted...

'Nanospheres' that block pain of sensitive teeth

...droxyapatite is a ceramic material which is highly compatible with teeth and bone and so is widely used by medics for bone grafts or dental coatings (because it binds strongly with the bone material). Earl and his colleagues grew hydroxyapatite at various pH levels to vary the size of the particles it is made ...

Sickle cell disease corrected in human models using stem cell-based gene therapy

...o most patients due to the difficulty in finding a compatible donor," explained Michel Sadelain, MD, PhD, of the Immunology Program at MSKCC and the study's senior author. "By using gene transfer, there is always a donor match because the patient's own stem cells are used to treat the disease." Sickle cell di...

'Dating agency' boosts hunt for disease genes

...DNA Network, says: "The software is designed to be compatible with any database architecture. This will help the scientists bring in more collaborators and more data types." The website is at www.dna-network.ac.uk . The UK clinicians in the Network are experts in gut, breast and white blood cell cancers, hea...

Manchester scientists create new bio-gel for 3D cell culture

...l is made up of 99% water and is pH neutral, it is compatible with biological systems. "By using dipeptide building blocks instead of much larger oligo-peptides used by other researchers, we have greater control over the fibrous architecture and the physical properties of the gels. These materials offer us gr...

New device could cut chemotherapy deaths

...tient's body. These fibres are bio-degradable and compatible with body tissue, which means they would not be rejected by the patient's body. They gradually turn from solid to liquid, releasing a regular flow of the chemotherapy chemical into the cancer site, and a much lower dose to the rest of the body. This...

New findings offer more complete view of breast cancer gene mutations in US population

...indings from our large, population-based study are compatible with earlier estimates made by extrapolating from smaller studies. However, we found a slightly lower frequency of BRCA1 mutations and a higher frequency of BRCA2 mutations," said the study's other lead investigator, Kathleen Malone, Ph.D., Member of...
