Solution to Pollution: New Bacteria Eats Toxic Waste

...ers better understand and utilize the organisms to destroy PAH contaminants in the environment by applying engineering principles to microbial biotechnology, said Sims. “This research is extending itself to the world, and we are really excited about it,?said Anne Anderson, a biology professor and team member...

Spider Venom Could Yield Eco-Friendly Insecticides

...vironmentally friendly insecticides. Insect pests destroy about 25 percent of the world's crops each year, despite the extensive application of chemical insecticides since World War II. The initial effectiveness of DDT in agricultural use and malaria eradication programs led many to view chemical insecticid...

Antarctic ice shelf retreats happened before

...idence that a shift in ocean currents can actually destroy ice shelves. In this case it's possible that a preceding warm period may have primed the ice shelf to disintegrate when the ocean currents shifted.' The scientists analysed sediments from the bottom of a freshwater lake close to the edge of the pres...

FDA Approves Human Hookworm Vaccine for Phase I Safety Trials

...ediated decay (NMD). Originally NMD was thought to destroy incorrectly transcribed or otherwise problematic RNAs, but investigators now know that it plays a major role in regulating the life span of numerous RNAs, and thus controls gene activity. To better understand what controls the NMD system, Maquat and...
