FDA sees nanotech challenges in every product category it regulates

... nanotech consumer products which companies do not identify as such, or the hundreds of nano raw materials, intermediate components, and industrial equipment items currently used by manufacturers.” “In light of this fast-rising commercialization, FDA needs to make certain that it has the tools, resources and...

One species, many genomes

...methods. While the technology used so far can only identify genes that have changed or are lost relative to the reference genome, direct sequencing of the genome of wild strains will allow the detection of new genes. The plan is to decipher the genomes of at least 1001 Arabidopsis varieties. A new instrument,...

Research identifies protein that signals flowering in squash plants

...rly one hundred accessions of Cucurbita species to identify one, belonging to the undomesticated squash species Cucurbita moschata, that remained vegetative under LD conditions and flowered only when grown under SD conditions. The authors then used the potyvirus Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) as a del...

CSIRO scientists join fight to save 'Tassie devil'

...mour Disease (DFTD) and possibly develop a test to identify infected animals. DFTD is infectious and is thought to be passed between animals by biting when, for example, devils compete for food. Once the cancer becomes visible and spreads internally through the body, the animal usually dies within a few m...

The insect vector always bites twice

...nosomiasis was to analyse the antibody response to identify exactly, in total saliva extract of Glossinia flies, the immunogenic proteins responsible for synthesis of these specific antibodies (2). The different saliva proteins of four Glossinia species, uninfected, vectors or non-vectors, were separated then...

Brightening prospects of using fluorescent nanotubes in medical applications

...h has one drawback: He doesn’t have an easy way to identify the locations where the clusters attach. Nanotubes should work as well as gold clusters as microscopic blow torches while their fluorescence should make them easy to locate. At least that is the hypothesis the researchers hope to test....

Dual-imaging technique useful before -- and during -- brain surgery

U-M researchers discover gene switched off in cancer can be turned on

...hile researchers can use these turned-off genes to identify or monitor cancer, currently no treatments actually target these genes. U-M researchers found that a gene called Brahma, or BRM, is silent – but not missing – in some cancer cells. By exposing the BRM protein to an inhibitor drug, the researchers ...
