Scientists seek answers on what activates deadly anthrax spores

...ructures, they may not only be able to provide new details on how anthrax develops, but also pick out structural vulnerabilities that are key to designing new therapeutic agents to prevent anthrax. Interest in determining how to stop anthrax remains high, not only after the 2001 attacks through the mail tha...

A bacterial genome reveals new targets to combat infectious disease

...cle within its human host. Thus, understanding the details of this relationship may help identify new strategies for controlling diseases caused by filarial nematodes. In a new study published in the freely-available online journal PLoS Biology, Barton Slatko and colleagues present the complete DNA sequence ...

Purdue proves concept of using nano-materials for drug discovery

...e, one of three researchers who wrote a paper that details new findings in the current issue (Feb. 15) of the journal Langmuir. The two other researchers are Zhigang Wang, a postdoctoral fellow at Purdue; and Richard Haasch, a research scientist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The work is...

Devising Nano Vision for an Optical Microscope

...d to about 200 nanometers—too large to resolve the details of nanotechnology, which, by definition, are no more than half that size. However, a newly begun, five-year research effort at NIST suggests that a novel combination of illumination, detection and computing technologies can circumvent this limitatio...

UCSD discovery may help extend life of natural pesticide

...udy, published February 11 in the journal Science, details the structure of a molecule to which Bt attaches, or "binds," in the lining of the intestines of insects and roundworms. The molecule is a glycolipid--a lipid attached to a tree-like arrangement of sugars. Because changes in the sugars impact Bt's ab...

How an AIDS-Related Cancer Unleashes Inflammation

...w understand the biology of this inflammation, the details of the biochemistry still need to be worked out," he said. While the new knowledge of kaposin B's role will contribute to understanding how the responsible virus produces cytokines, there are likely other mechanisms at work as well, Ganem emphasized...

Nonlinear Dynamics announces more details of its global partnership with PerkinElmer

... bioinformatics solutions, today announced further details of its global OEM partnership with PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE: PKI), a leading provider of drug discovery, life science research and analytical solutions. As detailed in a press release issued last week, PerkinElmer will distribute Nonlinear's full ran...

Wisconsin researchers identify sleep gene

...circadian timing of sleep are well understood, but details about the homeostatic mechanism that regulates the amount of sleep have been unclear," he says. In a four-year, round-the-clock search, researchers screened 9,000 mutated fruit flies, many of them supplied by Ganetsky's lab, and found one line of th...

Fibril Shape Is The Basis Of Prion Strains And Cross-species Prion Infection

...archers remain uncertain about the exact molecular details of infection. Earlier studies identified many "strains" of disease prions across mammalian and yeast species. Researchers thought these strains could be defined by differences in the underlying amino acid sequences of the prions. Under this scenario...

Affymetrix Licenses Microfluidics Technology From Caliper Life Sciences

...cts covered under the agreement. Further financial details related to the agreement were not disclosed. The agreement announced today is the second agreement since Caliper began an active program to out-license its intellectual property portfolio. The new "LabChip Driven" program was put in place to support...

Researchers make gains in understanding antibiotic resistance

...und in pathogenic bacteria. Their studies revealed details of erythromycin binding to the mutant form of the ...al subunit. Steitz said these studies provided new details about the nature of drug resistance involving these antibiotics. Furthermore, the studies of the two...

Study reveals new technique for fingerprinting environmental samples

...GTs reflect the intricate physical and biochemical details of a given environment without having to know the actual identities of the resident microbes. This finding is crucial for studies of microbes in the wild since the sheer number of different organisms present in nearly all environments makes it a daun...

Double triumph in stem cell quest

...em in a centrifuge. Verlinsky would not reveal the details of his technique, but other teams glue cells to a surface and spin them until the denser nucleus is forced out. Then the team take cells from adults and fuse them with the enucleated ESCs. The idea is that the cytoplasm of an enucleated ESC will rep...

After a time-shift, mixed signals from the circadian clock

...new light schedules takes several days, though the details of how this adaptation takes place are not well understood. Researchers now report findings that suggest this adaptation process does not necessarily involve a gradual and synchronous adaptation by the neurons that comprise the central circadian cloc...

The biggest family tree ever

...ect, researchers will be able to fill in the local details of how people migrated across the Earth," said Michael Cusanovich, director of UA's Arizona Research Laboratories. Cusanovich added that this is the first time members of the general public can join a genetics project of this scale. Michael F. Hamme...

Gene keeps neural cells on correct developmental path

...differentiated neuron. It also reveals fundamental details of how stem cells retain developmental plasticity. "A single protein does it all," said Gail Mandel, HHMI investigator at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. "It keeps the genes totally off in non-neuronal tissues, such as skin, where y...
