UCSD discovery may help extend life of natural pesticide

...ins are safe to vertebrates. This work furthermore opens up the possibility of using Bt toxins against roundworms that parasitize humans. "These parasites infect nearly one-third of the human population and pose a significant health problem in developing countries," said Aroian. "Perhaps one-day vertebrat...

Nano-Probes Allow an Inside Look at Cell Nuclei

...ing the nucleus to inside the nucleus, a feat that opens the door for real-time observations of nuclear trafficking mechanisms. They also hope to target other cellular organelles besides the nucleus, such as mitochondria and Golgi bodies. And because quantum dots emit different colors of light based on the...

Scientists discover unique microbe in California's largest lake

...to survive in nature," Wood says. "This newmicrobe opens up a whole new range of possible habitats where oxygencould be produced by photosynthesis using wavelengths of light thatexist beyond the visible spectrum."The PNAS article is co-authored by Miller and Wood along with SunnyAugustine and Jeanne Selker...

Why do insects stop 'breathing'? To avoid damage from too much oxygen, say researchers

... its body. In a low-oxygen environment, the insect opens its respiratory system for longer periods of time;...h oxygen on the other hand, the respiratory system opens briefly and then closes firmly for a long time. "In other words, insects are actively keeping oxygen...

Elephants imitate sounds as a form of social communication

... vocal learning abilities in a similar manner, and opens a fascinating new area for research on how elephants use vocal learning." Vocal learning is important because it enables an open communication system in which animals and humans develop new signals with shared associations. Recent playback experimen...

Study shows nanoshells ideal as chemical nanosensors

...dual nanoshells can vastly enhance the Ramaneffect opens the door for biosensor designs that use a singlenanoshell, something that could prove useful for engineers who aretrying to probe the chemical processes within small structures such asindividual cells, or for the detection of very small amounts of am...

“Nano-scissors?laser shows precise surgical capability

...m the cells to muscles or toother cells.“This tool opens up a new frontier for biologists studying nerveregeneration,?says Ben-Yakar. “We can also apply it to many otherstudies that require nanosurgery, so it’s a very versatile tool.?The beauty of this laser, she says, is its ability to cut organelles(part...

Current human embryonic stem cell lines contaminated UCSD/Salk team finds

...umans."It's an important safety issue because this opens up the idea thatmetabolic transfer of glycans is occurring between cells," said Gage."Also, components of the growth medium have the capacity to change theimmunological characteristics of the human ES cells. More research isneeded to understand the o...

New, automated tool successfully classifies and relates proteins in unprecedented way

...gh-resolution images of cells. This technical feat opens a new way toidentify disease proteins and drug targets by helping to show whichproteins cluster together inside a cell.The approach, developed by Carnegie Mellon University, outperformsexisting visual methods to localize proteins inside cells, saysPr...
