U of M researchers invent 'flashy' new process to turn soy oil, glucose into hydrogen

...st material--the elements rhodium and cerium--that guides the breakup of the feedstock molecules toward the production of syngas and away from water and carbon "gunk." Because the catalytic disk is porous, the syngas passes through it and is collected downstream in the tube. No external heat is needed, beca...

RNA found in the cellular centrosome of surf clams

...icant questions in continuing studies. "Since RNA guides the translation of genes into proteins, knowing more about its role(s) in the centrosome may help researchers better understand the progression of diseases such as cancer, which has been linked to abnormal centrosome numbers in tumor cells," says Pal...

Science captures the essence of fruit

...r and fragrance rank as some of the most important guides to the natural world. The ability for manufacturers to recreate them exactly as they occur in nature will open new opportunities for high-quality, novel products and foods." While many biofermented compounds will undoubtedly end up in non-food cons...

New roles for growth factors: Enticing nerve cells to muscles

... nailed the growth factor FGF as the molecule that guides a specific subgroup of motor neurons to connect to the muscles that line our spine and neck," says senior author Samuel Pfaff, Ph.D., a professor in the Gene Expression Laboratory, "but that piece by piece, we are uncovering general principles that e...

Queensland scientists identify molecule that links both sides of the brain

...dy is the first to identify a growth molecule that guides young nerves away from the corpus callosum and towards their targets in the opposite hemisphere," Dr Cooper said. "We have shown that the Ryk receptor molecule facilitates the targeting of individual nerve fibres. "This process is critical for th...

Anti-inflammatory drug's potentially deadly side effect found to be rare

...uid were collected for analysis. Organizers sent guides for evaluation to local neurologists, who evaluated patients and either sent the results to a central database if they suggested little chance of PML or, if indications of potential PML were detected, to the three committee members. Based on data fr...

Scientists discover dozens of new species in 'Lost World' of western New Guinea

... the Conservation International team and served as guides and naturalists on the expedition into the vast jungle tract. These people told the team that game was hunted in abundance within an hour's walk of the village. Such abundance of food and other resources means the mountain range's interior ?more th...

Chemical guidance of T cells leads to immunologic memory and long-term immunity

...combination of specific physical and chemical cues guides them to sites where they receive activation signals. Specifically, two molecules known as chemokines help guide them toward the cells that release these activation signals. "Understanding the processes whereby CD8+ T cells find their way in the lym...

Tracking the memory trace
