One-of-a-kind imaging probe reveals secrets useful for drug discovery

...venom," Dossey said. "We thought if this technique really can look at small samples, well, a milking of a single walking stick is very small. It's worth a try." They discovered compounds not previously known to be present in these animals, as well as chemical differences in secretions from the same walking...

Salmon farms kill wild fish, study shows

... Columbia, the results apply globally. "This study really raises the question of whether we can have native salmon and large scale aquaculture ?as it is currently practiced ?in the same place," said Dr. Ransom Myers, a fisheries biologist at Dalhousie University. "It also raises a more distant specter," ...

Math model predicts cancer behavior

...rs, he said. "The beauty of our model is that it really represents the cancer cells very well," Quaranta said. "Sandy (Anderson) was able to capture the random behavior of cells." In the model, when cells divide they randomly choose from a set of 100 different "phenotypes" ?behaviors that result from di...

Male contraception: One door opens, another closes

...ontraceptive lies right around the corner. "People really need to distinguish between research in animals--or even in a lab dish--and studies in men." Adjudin study coauthor Dr. Yan Cheng agrees, and says dedication will be required. "Obviously we're quite excited--but we still have a lot of work to do a...

Researchers seek to design first treatment for neuroAIDS

... 2006, edition of the Journal of Immunology. "We really don't know yet whether MLK or GSK-3b inhibitors will be superior to other treatment approaches," Dewhurst said. "We do know that new directions are needed because, despite ten years of trying, no research effort has yielded an approved HAD drug." ...

Sequencing of the oyster mushroom genome

... in what has been read. To understand what this really involves, Pisabarro gives us an example: 70 million letters would be equivalent to a volume of more than 11,500 pages of text. If the pages are normal, folio size and are placed side by side, they would run for a distance of 3.5 kilometres; the lette...

Researchers link ocean organisms with increased cloud cover and potential climate change

... those rare regions in the globe where the biology really takes over," Nenes explained. "That allows us to see strongly the impact of biology on the clouds." As a next step, Nenes would like to examine other areas of the globe for similar activity. "There are a lot of areas that have intense biological...

New research identifies gene important for nicotine's effects on the brain

...e nerve cells and understanding which pathways are really important for nicotine addiction as opposed to other types of abuse. Picciotto's research used both genetically engineered mice with altered nicotine receptors and viruses that could block CREB function. She and her colleagues showed that one type ...

Common ancestry of bacterium and plants could be key to an effective new treatment for chlamydia

...hich lysine is produced in plants, but they didn't really have the full picture. Leustek and Andre Hudson, a postdoc working in Leustek's lab in Rutgers' Biotechnology Center for Agriculture and the Environment, were able to solve the pathway when they discovered the gene encoding the enzyme L,L-diaminopime...

"Even interviewing the patients 40 years after their experience, I was surprised at how loyal they were to the doctors who treated them, and how powerful they said the experience was for them--some even f...

"This appears to be an authentic memory trace for long-term memory." Davis and his colleagues used spaced training...

Industry has shown interest in Bhunia's technology, as well as the chlorine dioxide work done by Linton and the project's co-leader, Mar...

Mysterious 'neural noise' actually primes brain for peak performance

"It was completely unexpected and it made the cause of this hybrid's sterility very simple; the gene's on number four in one species and on number three in the other, so when you mate the two, every now and then you'll get a ma...
