Yellowstone microbes fueled by hydrogen, according to U. of Colorado study

...ellowstone hotsprings, and now we do," Pace said.A novel suite of instruments was used to gather data, some of which hadnever before been collected. "No one had measured the concentration ofhydrogen in the hot springs before because the technology didn't existuntil about seven years ago. Now we can detect ...

Novel antiviral technology inhibits RSV infection in mice

A novel antiviral treatment combiningnanoparticle and gene silencing technologies thwarts attacks ofrespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) -- a virus associated with severebronchitis and asthma, an animal study by University of South Floridaresearchers found. The...

Study Demonstrates Gene Expression Microarrays are Comparable and Reproducible

...sed in numerous applications,including identifying novel genes associated with certain cancers,classifying tumors, and predicting patient outcome. So far, though,microarray studies have been performed by individual institutions.Evaluation of the potential clinical use of microarrays may requirelarger studi...

Novel Therapy Tested in Mice Could Chase Away Cat Allergies

...l Institutes of Health, funded the research. “This novel approach to treating cat allergies is encouraging news for millions of cat-allergic Americans. Moreover, these results provide proof-of-concept for using this approach to develop therapies to prevent deadly food allergy reactions as well,?says NIAID ...

Spider Venom Could Yield Eco-Friendly Insecticides

...sistance of specific insect pests by locking on to novel molecular targets in the insect nervous system. Because the insects have never encountered chemicals that behave like spider toxins, they will most likely lack resistance to bioinsecticides derived from funnel-web venom. Another strategy is to inser...

In the sea slug's defense against lobsters, confusion is key

...n of a feeding pathway, the researchers named this novel chemical defense "phagomimicry." The stickiness of the slug's secretions appears to contribute to long-lasting effects on the target despite the aqueous environment, enhancing the effectiveness of the slug's defense. Cynthia E. Kicklighter, Shkelzen...
