Molecular biology fills gaps in knowledge of bat evolution

... bats from the tropics, that fly mostly during the day - known to biologists as megabats - emerged from four major lineages of smaller and more widely dispersed, mostly insect-eating, night-flying bats, known as microbats. These microbats - also known for their highly specialized echolocation - originate...

The control group ate as much chow as they wanted during the entire pregnancy. The other group also was fully nourished during the first two weeks but undernouri...

Nano-Probes Allow an Inside Look at Cell Nuclei

... applied it to a problem faced by biologists every day ?getting inside the nucleus, a desirable target because the cell's genetic information resides there," says Chen. First, they had to breach the nuclear membrane, which has pores that are only about 20 nanometers wide. To fit through these tiny slits...

NJIT Presidential Award winner takes stem cell research another step

...such as combining allograft with stem cells." One day soon, as a result of Arinzeh's research, patients could be treated with off-the-shelf stem-cell therapies instead of drugs. In five years, say, a patient with a bone ailment would visit a doctor and be injected with a ready supply of stem cells. The ...
