Weizmann Institute scientists develop a general 'control switch' for protein activity
... developed by the Weizmann Institute scientists is ready for immediate use, both in basic biomedical research and in the pharmaceutical industry, in the search for proteins that can serve as targets for new drugs. Beyond offering a potent tool that can be applied to any protein, the method has an important...University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers develop 'off-the-shelf' vascular grafts
... could utilize the patient’s own stem cells and be ready for implantation almost immediately or, at most, after a relatively short culture period. This suggests that we could make these available ‘off-the-shelf,’ which is an essential element for clinical translation,” he explained. ...Researchers examine carbon capture and storage to combat global warming
...then extracted from the liquid and compressed, now ready for storage. The best storage options today lie in geologic sequestration-storage in old oil fields, natural gas reservoirs, deep saline aquifers and unminable coal beds, hundreds to thousands of meters underground. The carbon dioxide is pumped......uminal domain, clogs this barrel until the cell is ready to allow large molecules to pass through. Crystallographic studies had shown that TonB binds to one end of the luminal domain. Researchers had hypothesized that TonB somehow draws the luminal domain out of the barrel or changes its conformation to...
