Study: Harmless virus kills some cancers
...classified as a gene therapy. Future studies will investigate the precise mechanisms through which AAV2 causes cancer cell death, and how the virus might be enhanced to more aggressively target and kill cancers. A provisional patent application for this work was recently submitted. ...Could better mangrove habitats have spared lives in the 2004 tsunami?
...ter, academics and politicians alike are trying to investigate how the number of casualties could have been reduced and, more important, how such severe damage can be avoided if a tsunami ever strikes again.

...can switch - so it has two methods of entry." To investigate how the parasite manages to switch to an alternative mode of blood cell invasion, Cowman and colleagues produced lines of the W2mef parasite that used sialic acid for invasion, and lines that could invade without it. Then they compared the difference...Spiders help scientists discover how muscles relax

To investigate the misregulation of the SOST gene, Loots and her colleagues genetically engineered a copy of the DNA segment containing the gene and used it to generate mice with and without the 52,000-base-pair region missing in Van Buchem patients.

"Endocannabinoids may have possible involvement in stress-induced responses such as the changes of autonomic, endocrine and immune function." Furthermore, Soya added, "cannabinoids are ...Scientists focus on 'dwarf eye'

He hopes the information gained from his study will open doors to correcting other types of severe refractive error, not only farsightedness, but also nearsightedness. ...Fruit fly studies open new window on cancer research

He measures the intensity of the sun and then places a leaf in a chamber, allowing him to measure the rate of photosynthesis depending upon a...Secrets of the deep may hold key to life on other planets
...gn and build seafloor fossilisation experiments to investigate this fundamental process. "We've already found a number of fossils, but don't know how they came to be there," said Dr Little. "Until we know more it's very difficult to interpret the fossil record we already have." Pieces of hydrothermal animals ha...Monkeying around to improve organ transplantation

...udy was devised by Young and Melikyan last year to investigate viral infection in a manner as close to 'real life' as possible. The researchers filmed the microscopic viruses, which are only 100 nanometers across, by labeling them with fluorescent dyes and recording at one frame every 7 seconds. (For comparison ......elona, on Wednesday 13th July [session A7.15].
