Asthma gene clusters identified

... need to prescribe the most effective medications, discover new therapies and to help prevent disease," he said. Ultimately, Dr. Hershey's goal would be to identify gene profiles that are expressed during asthma that are exacerbated by different factors, such as exercise, viral infection or allergic triggers...

RNA project to create language for scientists worldwide

...ocks of life--is exploding as scientists worldwide discover the roles of RNA in genetics, health, disease and the development of organisms. The rapidly growing body of knowledge has created the need for researchers to develop a shared vocabulary and system for describing, cataloging and comparing their findin...

Scientists develop new color-coded test for protein folding

...dity increased. The researchers were surprised to discover that, when the pH was raised from 4 to 10, the blue solution turned reddish once again--a strong indication that some cytochrome c molecules had refolded into their original three-dimensional shape. In fact, the experiment showed that, when attached ...

Weill Cornell Research Reveals Secrets Of Trafficking Within Cells

...dy. But Dr. Ryan's group wanted to go deeper, and discover what happened to endocytosis when amounts of clathrin increased gradually. "The knock-out mouse model was just too blunt an instrument," he said. Instead, they came up with a whole new method of inquiry. It combined two pre-existing technologies -- ...

The secret lives of whales

...ion Roger Payne and Scott McVay were the first to discover that humpback whales sing—and Payne speculated that whales might communicate across oceans. Clark and others have confirmed and expanded upon Roger Payne’s early work. Today Payne is pioneering a new frontier in whale research ?he is creating a map o...

Quantum Dots Research Leads to New Knowledge about Protein Binding in Plants

...dBotany and Plant Sciences have worked together to discover a way toutilize Quantum Dot bio-conjugates to uncover new knowledge about the binding of a protein at the growingpollen tube tip. This protein plays a critical role along with anotherprotein (chemocyanin) in guiding sperm-laden pollen tubes to the e...
