NIAID expands capability for influenza research and surveillance

...training courses in animal influenza surveillance, developed diagnostic tools to detect animal flu viruses, and generated viruses suitable for use in developing human influenza vaccines. NIAID is expanding the surveillance and research program to now include six Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research ...

It's never too late to get it back! Aging interrupted

... lifespan of healthy people. The technique we have developed allows us to screen a relatively large number of drugs in months rather than years. The hope is that these drugs will be able to extend the lifespan of healthy animals, and possibly, after further testing, healthy humans? says Professor Spindler who...

Whiteflies and plant viruses can help each other to speed up biological invasion

An invasive whitefly has developed mutualistic relationships with the plant viruses it transmits and is able to increase its population much faster on virus-infected plants than on healthy plants, whereas its indigenous counterpart is unable to do so, according to the new research car...

Bones in motion: Brown scientists to create new 3-D X-ray system

...aging at Brown, including a trailblazing technique developed by Gatesy that uses animation software to combine CT scanner data with X-ray images. Images created using this technique ?the forerunner of CTX ?can be viewed at http://brown.edu/ctx/ ...

Researchers develop marker that identifies energy-producing centers in nerve cells

...s ALS) and Huntington's disease. "The mice we have developed with the fluorescent protein could be bred with mouse models of various neurological diseases, so we could apply the ability to see mitochondria in neurons to the research of those diseases," says Dr. Kristian. This mouse model could also be used...

Rapid response was crucial to containing the 1918 flu pandemic

... Sciences (NIGMS). Through MIDAS, researchers have developed computer models to examine how a future pandemic influenza virus might spread and what interventions could minimize the impact. “Although the MIDAS models can’t predict the exact spread of a potential influenza pandemic, they have all suggested t...

Sandia researchers take new approach to studying how cells respond to pathogens

...form, biological reagents and computational models developed under this project have applicability beyond infectious disease research. These technologies can also be used for studying cellular signaling involved in diseases such as cancer or by pharmaceutical companies for biomarker discovery. ...

Beyond the DNA: Chemical signatures reveal genetic switches in the genome

...sed. However, the LICR team and collaborators have developed a novel method to identify and predict the 'promoter' and 'enhancer' regions that switch on transcription, the first step in gene expression. This study is an important step towards large-scale functional annotation of 'enhancers,' which establish th...

Gene tests and brain imaging reveal early dementia

...nosis of Alzheimer's," she says. "If the method is developed it can help us find the people who'd benefit most from treatment in good time." The method is based on the well-established fact that the APOE protein affects the risk of developing Alzheimer's. APOE is a lipid-transporting protein important in, a...

UC Davis researchers use heated nanoprobes to destroy breast cancer cells in mice

...quantitative molecular imaging techniques, we have developed a safer technique that could join other modalities as a treatment for breast and other cancers." ...

Mine runoff continues to provide clues to microbial diversification

...hmond Mine near Redding, Calif., combines recently developed ways to sequence microbial genes with methods to identify the range of proteins from specific microbial members. Researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and UC Berkeley discovered that Leptosprillium group II bacteria in these streams are e...

Navigable nanotransport

As described in the journal Angewandte Chemie, this method is generally applicable to any monomers as long as they have a flat core and multiple polymerizable groups at...

New compound prevents alcoholic behavior, relapse in animals by blocking stress response

... also thought to trigger relapse in rats that have developed a long-term dependency on alcohol. The research, by Markus Heilig, MD, PhD, at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and his team, appears in the March 7 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience .

New details on how the immune system recognizes influenza

...d between virus strains, the immunity a person has developed towards one strain might provide at least some protection against the other strain. Using a software tool they developed, the LIAI team found hundreds of conserved influenza virus epitopes in the database, including those between avian H5N1 and st...

Woven scaffolds could improve cartilage repair
