Unique library of plant genes germinates, takes root at UNC

...ifferent species,'" Vision said. Answers to those kinds of questions will lead to plants that yield more food and resist damage from diseases and insects more successfully, he said. They also can lead to better and cheaper medicines and plant products like cotton, paper and rubber. "A persistent challeng...

Map of life on Earth could be used on Mars

...k observes that the ancestors of each of the three kinds of prokaryotes inhabited one of Earth's three types of hydrothermal systems, which include sulfurous steam vents like those which smatter the Yellowstone caldera, hydrothermal deep-sea vents, and boiling silica-depositing springs. "Is it a coinciden...

Combination therapy leads to partial recovery from spinal cord injury in rats

...and are specialized so that they can form only two kinds of cells: astrocytes, which help support neurons and influence their activity, and oligodendrocytes, which produce myelin. The scientists used a modified virus to insert genes for marker proteins that make the cells visible. Some cells also received ...

...otoxicity and the mechanisms of DNA repair. "These kinds of mutations are likely to have lifelong repercussions for the exposed fetus, affecting survival, birth weight and susceptibility to disease, including cancer." This is a startlingly different conclusion than that reached by three previous studies l...

Specialized immune-system B cells play double-barreled role

... plays a "double-barreled" role in triggering both kinds of immunity -- innate and acquired, Duke University Medical Center immunologists have discovered. The division of labor between B-1a and B-1b cells they have uncovered offers basic insights that could contribute to more rational development of vaccin...

Researchers find first evidence of venom system in extinct mammal

...e resembled the grooved poison fangs found in some kinds of modern venomous snakes. He added that the fact that the walls of the groove are covered with enamel indicates the groove is not a product of post-mortem exposure and splitting but rather is the natural design of the tooth. "The groove in these tee...

Scientists discover the body's marijuana-like compounds are crucial for stress-induced pain relief

... Researchers along the way found out there are two kinds of stress-induced analgesia mechanisms, opioid and nonopioid (or "opioid independent"). Hohmann and colleagues discovered that the opioid-independent form was produced by release of the brain's own marijuana-like compounds. "We showed that cannabino...

To translate touch, the brain can quickly rearrange its sense of the body

...lf. Because all these signals carry such different kinds of information, the brain must perform a constant juggling act in order to make sense of the body and the world. In the new study, the research team used a method called tendon vibration to induce a distortion of healthy volunteers' sense of their o...

Virginia Tech group adds tools to DNA-targeted anti-cancer drugs

...to operate without oxygen. The group now has more kinds of supramolecular assemblies that absorb therapeutic light and they are adding units to the structure. For instance, they added platinum, a metal with anticancer activity because it binds to DNA inhibiting cell replication. "Using platinum assures th...

...ns. Skate (Raja erinacea): Human retinas have two kinds of light-sensing cells: rods and cones. Skate retinas have only rods--yet they can still sense light. MBL scientists have studied skate retinas to learn how eyes adapt to light changes, and to understand diseases that can cause blindness. Green sea ...

In clinical trials of some of these kinds of drugs, a number of patients have tired easily, experienced lower blood flow and a tendency for airways to constrict as muscle walls develop abnormally, Goetzl says.

Why do aneurysms form? New studies suggest leading role for white blood cells

...oteinases, there was no difference between the two kinds of mice. For one called MMP-8, though, much less was produced in the neutrophil-deficient mice. But the researchers performed more experiments that showed that the lack of MMP-8 was not enough by itself to keep aneurysms from forming. "Something els...
