Heart failure: Intervention possibilities from imaging programmed cell loss

...t failure, and that annexin imaging could possibly guide treatment for heart patients and be used to determine whether a treatment was working," said Hofstra, co-author of "Noninvasive Detection of Programmed Cell Loss with 99mTc-Labeled Annexin A5 in Heart Failure." He anticipates that this research would...

MIT's ocean model captures diversity of underwater forests

...anic microbes in global processes. This will help guide decisions about responsible use of the oceans in this era of global change." ...

Study offers clues to 'Broken Heart Syndrome'

... on coronary angiography. These findings will help guide long-term treatment. "Because we don't yet know what causes this phenomenon, we don't know what the best long-term management should include," he said. "As we gather more information on these patients, we can start to understand who is affected b...

World's leading scientists announce creation of 'Encyclopedia of Life'

... board of distinguished individuals will also help guide the Encyclopedia. The effort is spurred by a $10 million grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and $2.5 million from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and will ultimately serve as a global beacon for biodiversity and conservat...

New technique will produce a better chromosome map

...and electron micrographs have yielded an imprecise guide to the chromosomes. Traditional methods of chromosome preparation have limited usefulness for those hoping to sort out how the bands and interbands relate to the underlying genetic sequence, said cell and developmental biology research specialist ...

Students invent protective pouch to enhance cell therapy

...nology, an interventional radiologist can view and guide the minimally invasive procedure as it takes place. First, the doctor would insert the stainless steel outer stent, which would push out harmlessly on the elastic interior of the vein. Next, the doctor would insert the inner stent, surrounded by the ...

How to look at dinosaur tracks

...cludes the T. Rex and the tridactyl, and provide a guide for interpreting the effects of many different types of erosion on these invaluable impressions. “Well-preserved vertebrate tracks in the rock record can be an invaluable source of information about foot morphology, soft tissue distribution, and ski...

Researchers use MRI to predict recovery after spinal cord injury

...es information with prognostic value and serves to guide the clinician to optimize clinical care....

Surprising origin of cell's internal highways

...dings point to a novel cellular mechanism that may guide cell movement and possibly cancer cell invasion. Microtubules are the largest of the three main types of filaments that make up the cytoskeleton -- a web of microscopic fibers inside the cell. They form when two globular proteins, alpha- and ...

3-D ultrasound scanner provides in-depth view of the brain

... a three-dimensional ultrasound scanner that might guide minimally invasive brain surgeries and provide better detection of a brain tumor’s location. The “brain scope,” which is inserted into a dime-sized hole in the skull, may be particularly useful for the bedside evaluation of critically ill patients ...

Simulations unravel outer membrane transport mechanism

...however. “The fundamental motions of atoms that guide large conformational changes happen on a very short time scale: femtoseconds,” Tajkhorshid said. Each step relies on the completion of a previous step, so the simulations take an extensive amount of time and considerable computational effort. The ...
