Recent, rapid climate change is driving evolution of animal species

...titudes, resulting in longer growing seasons while simultaneously alleviating winter cold stress without imposing summer heat stress. In short, northern climates are becoming more like those in the south. "Over the past 40 years, animal species have been extending their range toward the poles and populations have...

Wasps queue for top job

...s a result indirectly benefit themselves, but they simultaneously decrease their own future survival and fecundity because helping is costly. It involves energy-expensive flight to forage for food, and leaving the nest is dangerous. We have found that the brighter the individual wasp's future, the less likely it is...

Large-scale genomics project will hunt genes behind common childhood diseases

...be able to process 264 patient samples per day and simultaneously analyze over 550,000 genetic variants for each sample. Developed by San Diego-based Illumina, the genotyping BeadLab will be installed and fully operational at Children's Hospital by the end of June. "Once the BeadLab is installed here, we will have...

Researchers to develop ultra-miniature implantable sensors to measure blood flow

...reate even smaller patient monitoring sensors that simultaneously measure blood pressure, blood chemistry and temperature."

Patients to benefit from novel technology revolutionizing high-speed molecular imaging

...ing more than one tracer and more than one isotope simultaneously means that more than one medical condition can be searched in one go--ultimately improving the diagnosis of cancer, heart and brain diseases," explained James A. Patton, professor of radiology and physics with the department of radiology and radiolog...

Biotech cotton provides same yield with fewer pesticides

...inding comes from the first large-scale study that simultaneously examined how growing Bt cotton affects yield, pesticide use and biodiversity. It's good news for the environment. "What we see is that it's positive here in Arizona -- no doubt about it," said Yves Carrière, an associate professor of entomology at T...

Sandia research to focus on early detection of harmful algal blooms

...lopment of a reliable, cost-effective prototype to simultaneously analyze multiple HAB toxins in phytoplankton and/or shellfish in the field. Lane and his colleagues will aim to optimize the micro-separations process for a sub-set of relevant toxins, and establish the laboratory-based protocols for sample preparati...

Pure carbon nanotubes pass first in vivo test

..." Cherukuri said. “Up to his very last day, he was simultaneously fighting his own battle with cancer and developing new ways to treat the disease that ultimately took his life. These new results are simply the first fruits of his final contributions in nanohealth research, and there are still more to come." ...

Like a snail through the intestinal canal

...behind it on the ground. This slimy material works simultaneously as a lubricant for gliding on and as a glue which the slug can grip hold of. An intestinal robot should also have a similar layer to use. To achieve this, an adhesive layer is added to the mucus-like properties, which allows the device to be stuck t...

Gene therapy research switches off joint inflammation; switches on genetic process of joint repair

...to "silence" genes that promote joint damage while simultaneously activating the repair gene, IGF-1, in human chondrocytes.2 The clinical study being conducted by clinical research organization Santerra Pharmaceuticals, LLC ( www.santerra-pharma.com ) was submitted to Current Controlled Trials for review of the ...

HIV exploits competition among T-cells

...immunodominance, occurs when several viral strains simultaneously infect one person. In this case, T cells compete t...ines against different strains of the same disease simultaneously in different parts of the body. The approach capitalizes on the fact that different lymph nodes ?the...

Altered perception of reward in human cocaine addiction

...of behavior, cognition/thought, and emotion, while simultaneously monitoring their brain activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and/or recordings of event-related potentials (ERP). In one study, subjects were given a monetary reward for their performance on an attention task. Subjects were g...

A fisheye view of the deadliest breast cancer

...te fluorescent labeling allowed the researchers to simultaneously monitor the parental MDA cancer cells and the RhoC-overexpressing tumor cells in the context of the fish vasculature using high-resolution, multicolor confocal microscopy. While the parental MDA cells formed tightly packed aggregates, RhoC-overexpre...

Protein 'fingerprint' in spinal fluid could spot Alzheimer's disease

... complex computational and statistical analyses to simultaneously compare 2,000 cerebrospinal fluid proteins from 34 patients with autopsy-proven Alzheimer's disease to those of 34 age-matched controls without the disease. "Just as the human genome reflects the array of genes a person possesses, the ‘proteome' is...

High-throughput oncogene mutation detection in human cancers by mass spectrometry-based genotyping

...t for multiple types of cancer genetic alterations simultaneously in the clinic. "Tests that use DNA sequencing to look for mutations in a single gene can cost a couple thousand dollars," Dr. Garraway said. "We ran a whole panel of genes for about $60 each, and the price could drop below that with more updated meth...

Muscle and bone from an ink-jet printer

... to the formation of muscle- and bone-like tissues simultaneously in the same culture dish. The long-term promise of this new technology could be the tailoring of tissue-engineered regenerative therapies. In preparation for preclinical studies, the Pittsburgh researchers are following up this work by combining the ...

'Best of both worlds' -- Targeting a single gene could inhibit bone decay and stimulate bone growth

...ne that it is possible to inhibit bone decay while simultaneously stimulating bone formation. This concept may lead ...discovery proves that inhibiting osteoclasts while simultaneously stimulating new bone formation can be done." Bone health is maintained by the balanced activitie...

Scientists win grants to develop $1,000 genome sequencing technology

Newly identified biomarker detects and regulates spread of brain tumors

...h various CNS diseases using proteomics to examine simultaneously all proteins in biological samples. To validate the study's results, attractin levels in a set of 100 normal and tumoral brain samples also were examined. The researchers found elevated attractin levels in 97 percent of malignant astrocytomas, with t...

'GreeneChip' -- New diagnostic tool that rapidly and accurately identifies multiple pathogens

...rarely specific for single pathogens, methods that simultaneously screen for multiple agents are important, particularly when early accurate diagnosis can alter treatment or assist in containment of an outbreak," stated W.
