New technology enables faster, more efficient cell harvest: Cell therapy meeting study

...cell therapy expressed the need to find better and easier ways to isolate and enrich cells that result in higher cell yield, faster processing time, ease of use and are also more likely to meet future regulatory requirements," stated Judy Angelbeck, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Pall New Technologies. "Pal...

What animals can tell us about hemorrhage, organ transplants and aging

...ch was done on short-lived animals, because it was easier to study a complete life span, Kristan said. But physiologists have recently turned their attention to long-lived animals. Some of the aging theories to be discussed during the symposium: DNA damage and repair. Short-lived animals may suffer mor...

Pure carbon nanotubes pass first in vivo test

...s intact in our application, because this makes it easier to see where the nanotubes end up, and it opens the door to some exciting diagnostic and therapeutic applications." In a ground-breaking 2002 study, Weisman and colleagues at Rice, including the late Professor Richard Smalley, discovered that nano...

Ocean temperature predicts spread of marine species

...h knowledge about ocean temperature, which is much easier to come by. With models such as this, we can see what large-scale changes in ocean temperature may mean for adult populations." The study appeared online the week of Dec. 25 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Early Edition. ...

On the golf tee or pitcher's mound, brain dooms motion to inconsistency

...ath problems. Someone who has studied will find it easier to solve a new problem than someone who has not prepared. Given the endemic nature of movement variability, the research doesn't point to any definitive means for combating it. In their paper, the engineers offer no advice for baseball trainers to ...

Professors to develop hand-held pathogen testing device

...deadly food, air and water pathogens may get a lot easier and cheaper thanks to the work of a Michigan State University researcher and his team. Syed Hashsham, an associate professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Center for Microbial Ecology, is developing a portable, ha...

How ants find their way

... navigational strategies. This stereotypy makes it easier to understand how their strategies operate and to design robots that navigate following similar principles." The researchers are now planning further experiments that will reveal new levels of detail about insect visuo-motor behaviour and allow the...

Advance helps explain stem cell behavior

...ectrical problem in a car, you can repair it a lot easier if you have a wiring diagram," said Michael Gross, an assistant professor of biochemistry and biophysics at OSU. "In a way that's what we're trying to do here, except we're trying to repair or create a certain kind of cell. To do that you need a blue...

Beyond the book: Software automates access to brain atlases

...ize visual information. The challenge is making it easier to consult and compare data about a three-dimensional organ ?a rat, mouse, or human brain ?that is stacked up in hundreds or thousands of cross sectional views. Now researchers need to open a book to do this, which can slow things down. "Research...

Mass vaccination unnecessary in the event of a large bioterrorist US smallpox attack

...nce and containment were put into practice. I rest easier now that we've done this study," Longini said. "The process was kind of like unveiling the enemy to the point where we really understood it. This research has helped us demystify the threat a bit." Although smallpox has been eliminated as a natural...

Slow brain waves play key role in coordinating complex activity

...he same theta frequency and phase, it becomes much easier for these regions to tune in the high-gamma oscillations that transfer information between them. "One theory about how the brain is organized says that there is a hierarchy of oscillations that can control how one neuron talks to another neuron, or ...

Squid-inspired design could mean better handling of underwater vehicles

Giant insects might reign if only there was more oxygen in the air

...aiser's team used the insect because they are much easier to maintain in the laboratory than dragonflies, which are quite difficult. The study found that the tracheae of the larger beetles take up a greater proportion of their bodies, about 20% more, than the increase in their body size would predict, Ka...

Study highlights new and cheaper way to treat heroin addiction

... in liquid not tablet form ?dihydrocodeine is much easier to store and comes under less stringent regulations because it is not as toxic and less likely to cause a fatal overdose. It is estimated that whereas methadone treatment can cost almost £1,500 annually per patient, the cost of dihydrocodeine is £713...

Nanoscale microscope sheds first light on gene repair

... preparation requirements. Light microscopy allows easier sample prep and observations of living cells, but it has limited resolution. By manipulating how light waves behave, however, biophysicists are expanding the limits of light microscopy, and one of the latest advances--the 4Pi microscope--provides nev...

Mysterious 'neural noise' actually primes brain for peak performance

...ncounters into a format that makes it tremendously easier to compute an answer. Pouget now prefers to call the noise "variability." Our neurons are responding to the light, sounds, and other sensory information from the world around us. But if we want to do something, such as jump over a stream, we need ...

New technology to speed up research into Huntington's disease
