Intelligently designed molecular evolution

... or more mutants. "The enzyme synthase was there ready to be evolved, and with our methodology, we were able to rapidly and efficiently evolve it down a pathway of our choice," Keasling said. "We are recapitulating evolution into intelligent design. In the case of this particular Grand fir enzyme synth...

UC Berkeley researchers create a biologically-inspired artificial compound eye

...m with an angle, but now that we've done it, we're ready to integrate imaging or chemical sensing into the eyes." While conventional microfabrication techniques are expensive and use high temperatures, Lee and his team borrowed from nature, using a low temperature system, photopolymerization, and self-ali...

Climate change: The rice genome to the rescue

... workshop that IRRI ?in an unprecedented move ?was ready to put up US$2 million of its own research funds as part of an effort to raise $20?5 million for a major five-year project to mitigate the effects of climate change on rice production. "We need to start developing rice varieties that can tolerate hig...

Male rivalry increases when females at most fertile, say researchers

... live quite happily together, but when a female is ready to mate the two dominant males within the group become rivals and fight for her attention. Similarly in humans, rated dominance increases when the female is most fertile. What is interesting here is that male behaviour is determined by that of the ...

Hooked on fishing, and we're heading for the bottom, says scientist

...m sustainability of fish stocks. "The industry is ready to commit suicide at any time," he says. "It's an industry that needs to be reined in for its own good." He notes that the global fisheries industry is very complex. According to Dr. Pauly, it operates with "one foot deep in illegality," by landing ...

University of Utah to help build bionic arm

... He says a prototype of the bionic arm should be ready for testing in four years. It is not yet known if any Utah residents who lost arms will participate in clinical trials. Existing prosthetic arms differ from the arm the university will help develop. Current models have limited movements, such as be...

Both alcoholism and chronic smoking can damage the brain's prefrontal cortex

... He says a prototype of the bionic arm should be ready for testing in four years. It is not yet known if any Utah residents who lost arms will participate in clinical trials. Existing prosthetic arms differ from the arm the university will help develop. Current models have limited movements, such as be...

Stem cell study for patients with heart attack damage seeks to regenerate heart muscle

...e cells can be stored for years in a frozen state, ready to be used when they are needed." Adult stem cells are designed by nature to perform tissue repair in a mature adult. It is believed that these cells can be used in patients unrelated to the donor, without rejection, eliminating the need for donor m...

Faster immune system testing set to improve poultry quality

...it for advances in molecular biology. "The test is ready but we need to develop the companion immunotherapeutic to convince an animal health company to take it on," explains project leader Dr William Ragland of Zagreb Biotek in Croatia. He had hoped that there would be direct commercial interest in the tes...

Treating populations infected with HIV and latent TB could speed the emergence of drug-resistant TB

UC Riverside psychologist explores human perception, finds 'wow factor'

... on campus just from their echoes. "We get people ready for a test and tell them what we want them to do, and a lot of them think there's absolutely no way they'll be able to do that," said Rosenblum, whose field is perceptual psychology. "Some are very surprised when it turns out that they can." Rosenbl...

Berkeley researchers lay groundwork for cell version of DNA chip

...let them incubate for 35 minutes, rinse, and we're ready to go. We've kept our cells alive on the chip for up to 25 hours and the same proportion of cells survive using our method as cells cultured under identical conditions." The next step, Chandra said, is to develop procedures for making complex array...

World Trade Center identifications pushed forensic DNA technology

...ep track of samples." Worse than a laboratory not ready for the monumental effort of identifying the victims of this disaster were the problems inherent with the remains. While about 2,749 people died in the disaster, there were 19,915 individual samples to analyze, identify and return to victims' famili...

New licensing agreement to maximize AIDS drug development

... our potential is for getting an effective product ready for distribution." "I am delighted for our two organizations to enter into this agreement. We have collaborated for many years on all aspects of our microbicide development programs, and we have a deep respect for each other's knowledge and expert...

US woman gives birth to baby from world's first frozen donor egg bank

Also, the use of frozen donor eggs greatly reduces any of the current health hazards from infectious disease transmission present when using donor eggs that have not been frozen. Egg donors for CEI are tested as required by the FDA for ...

Newly discovered killer cell fights cancer

...ct with environmental pathogens. "Here, IKDCs are ready to sense invaders and spring into action," says Housseau. Then, the group tracked the cells to the main messenger center of the immune system - the lymph nodes. Here, they found approximately 35 percent of the original group of IKDCs now secreting ...
