Researchers in Montréal and the US create model of key immune-system component
...the tremendous talent of Québec scientists and the precision that can be achieved by genomics and proteomics, two approaches that yield concrete results. "I would like to congratulate Dr. Desjardins and his team. Their very important breakthrough further confirms the wisdom of the Québec government’s decision ...Tiny Tampa Bay fish key to evolution of immune system
...derstanding their essential architecture with such precision could lead to new, improved types of antibody-based therapies that are better able to persist in the body, Ostrov said. "If we could take advantage of the atomic level structural features that we see, particularly those structural features at the s...Microfluidic chip helps solve cellular mating puzzle
...ls that were attempting to mate, Kss1 improved the precision of finding the partner. The researchers said their findings show the importance of unraveling the role of multiple, apparently redundant proteins that are often activated by the same message passing through a cell. They also address why cells do ...Warming oceans threaten Antarctic glaciers
...rumentation from which it is derived: "The extreme precision with which we can now make measurements of the Earth’s surface allows us to see the increasingly subtle changes within the ice sheets that will govern their future sea level contribution."...When your brain talks, your muscles don't always listen
...people are often frustrated by poor control during precision tasks, and slowed physical responses contribute to more falls as people grow older," Knight said. Knight and co-author Gary Kamen, who directs the Exercise Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Massachusetts, recently published the results ...Bones in motion: Brown scientists to create new 3-D X-ray system
...ogy is expected to deliver images with exceptional precision and detail. Researchers will be able to track 3-D skeletal movements with 0.1 millimeter accuracy and see the equivalent of 1,000 CT images per second. The result will be a powerful tool with applications for basic and applied research: testi...
