Bioartificial kidney under study at MCG

... of the device over 72 hours, although researchers say that if the device is eventually approved by the Food and Drug Administration, it likely would be used as long as the patient is in failure. Kidneys require a lot of oxygen and energy to perform their endless task, which makes them easy targets in t...

UCSB scientists probe sea floor venting to gain understanding of early life on Earth

...es and minerals vented from below the ocean floor, say scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The UCSB scientists are making new contributions to this field of inquiry in their studies of seafloor hydrothermal fluid discharge into the Earth's oceans, which has been occurring ever sin...

W.M. Keck Foundation funds study of friendly microbes

You could say that the Human Genome Project missed 99 percent of the genes in the adult body. That's because it didn't sequence genes belonging to the vast communities of bacteria that normally live on and in us. Now a $1.45 million grant from the W.M. Keck Found...

Columbia research lifts major hurdle to gene therapy for cancer

...ing protein uniquely intumor cells.The researchers say the PEG switch can be exploited to produce genetherapies that will only kill cancer cells even if the therapy entersnormal cells.As an example, the researchers constructed an adenovirus that carriesthe PEG switch and a toxic protein. The switch and t...

Genome of deadly amoeba shows surprising complexity, evidence of lateral gene transfer

... of the amoeba's virulence. Biomedical scientists say the E. histolytica sequence will help researchers develop new tools to predict which of the millions of people who ingest amoeba cysts in contaminated fluids will actually develop the disease. "Every aspect of research is changed by having the genom...

Sea skate experiment sheds light on human cell transport

... ability to transport glucose. Goldstein and Musch say their findings could explain the problem. People with type 1 diabetes don't produce insulin. Without that hormone, vesicles aren't inserted into cell membranes ?and glucose can't be moved between cells. And when channels are blocked, damaged cells c...

New Clues Add 40,000 Years to Age of Human Species

...at the Omo River to an age near 195,000 years ago, say the researchers, an age that agrees with estimates from genetic studies for the age of the last, common Homo sapiens ancestor, and reinforcing evidence that most of human history transpired in Africa. The study was funded by the National Science F...
