Liver regeneration may be simpler than previously thought
The way the liver renews itself may be simpler than what scientists had been assuming. A new study, appearing in the April 13 issue of The Journal of Biological Chemistry, provides new information on the inner workings of cells from regenerating livers that could significantly affect the way phys...Mine runoff continues to provide clues to microbial diversification
...n exceeds 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Because of their simpler makeup, the Banfield Laboratory established these communities as a model system in the mid-1990s. This latest publication builds upon research that was published in May 2005 by Science. In that paper, Banfield, Hettich and colleagues at ORNL descr......e structure of neuronal networks.

Zhang and his team, working with a high-throughput reactor capable of testing 96 metal halide catalysts at various temperatures, discovered that a particular metal — chromium chloride...Bacteria ferry nanoparticles into cells for early diagnosis, treatment
...rene nanoparticles makes this delivery system much simpler to implement than previous alternatives," Bashir said. This new delivery system also is more efficient than other experimental techniques using viruses and bacteria. "With other techniques, you can usually incorporate only one copy of your gene...
