Institute for Systems Biology Symposium Addresses Need for Better Computational Tools

... Grid is enabling ISB researchers to predict three dimensional structures, which are more highly conserved than one dimensional structures. Understanding three dimensional structures allow researchers to identify the presumptive...

Major advance made on DNA structure

...tarting to see what the genome looks like in three dimensional reality, not just what the sequence of genes is," Ho said. "DNA is much more than just a string of letters, it's an actual structure that we have to explore if we ever hope to understand biological function. This is a significant step forward, a mile...

Clues to breast cancer hidden inside stem cells

...on immortalised these cells and grew them in three dimensional matrix that mimics the real, living tissue. Biologists have long relied on 2-dimensional cell cultures as the basic tool of their trade. But there is a big difference between a flat layer of cells and culturing cells in three-dimensions. The Icelandi...

Scientists make first step towards 'holy grail' of crystallography

...h converts materials, such as proteins, into three dimensional crystals, thus enabling their atomic structure to be studied. The three dimensional structure of the crystals indicates the proteins function, and from this, researchers hope to be abl...

Brain-computer link lets paralyzed patients convert thoughts into actions

...ers to convert patterns of neural spikes into two- dimensional commands. "Training patients to move things with their minds is different with each patient," said Maryam Saleh, who worked with the first two patients as a Cyberkinetics technician and is now a doctoral student in Hatsopoulos's Chicago lab. The ...

Coral stress 'like never in history'

...s ago. "The sequence of fossils is like a three dimensional movie of what happened in the reefs?past," says Pandolfi. Over the 6000 years recorded in the fossil strata the team found 4 devastating events which resulted in the death of most of the reef ?indicating such events had occurred about once every...

New sunscreen ingredient to heal sunburn and help prevent skin cancer

...es of the ingredient in the laboratory using three dimensional human skin cultures, but expect to be trialling the ingredient with volunteers in the next two to three years. "When skin is exposed to high doses of sunlight, such as when you are sunbathing, a massive amount of free iron is released in skin cells...

American scientist's research of life's first cells

... Berlin, Germany. There, Loll elucidated the three dimensional structure of photosystem II, in work done in cooperation with the group of A. Zouni from Technical University Berlin. Loll defended his PhD in February 2005 and is currently a postdoctoral scientist in the group of A. Meinhart at the Max Planck Insti...

Preliminary study finds holographic imaging system promising for cancer treatment planning

... volume delineation, and plan evaluation are three dimensional (3D) in nature. However, current planning displays...r 3D renderings on a flat computer screen, are two dimensional (2D) in nature. Actuality Systems "PerspectaRAD" Spatial 3D system generates true 3D imagery with...

Danish researches solve virus puzzle

... a tendency to curl up into 'pseudoknots', a three dimensional structure. When the ribosome walking along an RNA encounters a pseudoknot it needs to unravel the pseudoknot before it can proceed. Question is, how does it do that? Lene Oddershede at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen has developed ...
