Examples for these morphologies as observed by atomic (or scanning) force microscopy (AFM) are shown in Figure 1. When the AFM experiments were first performed, it...

Study shows nanoshells ideal as chemical nanosensors

...shells are already beingdeveloped for applications including cancer diagnosis, cancer therapy,diagnosis and testing for proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease,drug delivery and rapid whole-blood immunoassay.In the current study, Halas and former graduate student Joseph B.Jackson, now with Nanospectra Bio...

Scientists identify genetic pathways essential to RNA interference

...may be involved with the regulation of DNA itself, including the repair of DNA damage. "These new steps indicate there is more to RNAi than RNA destruction," says Kim. "And the connection to DNA damage pathways, which was totally unexpected, suggests a potential connection between RNAi and the control of cell ...

Same mutation aided evolution in many fish species, Stanford study finds

...ch of the 15 freshwater sticklebacks they studied, including one local species the group collected from a stream near Fresno. Perhaps mutations in the two other genes cause problems for the fish in addition to reducing the number of armor plates, Kingsley said. Most of these fish evolved independently from ma...

...conviction that the origins and processes of life, including human consciousness and free will, can be reduced to fundamental laws of physics and chemistry, and can thus be explained entirely in rational, scientific terms. After 1953, Crick devoted most of his effort to solving the genetic coding problem, the...

Researchers trace evolution to relatively simple genetic changes

...otein suffers "a huge amount of molecular lesions, including deletions, mutations, many types of lesions that would inactivate the protein," Kingsley said. But in contrast, "in the fish we don't see any mutations that would clearly destroy the protein." There are some very minor changes in many populations, b...

HIV Infection Still On The Rise

...'s BMJ. An estimated 38 million people worldwide, including over 2 million children, are now infected with HIV, and a record 4.8 million became infected in 2003. The underlying reason for this continuing increase is socioeconomic, but the increase also represents a failure of prevention, write the authors. ...
