DDT-resistant insects have additional genetic advantage that helps resistance spread

...ored the survival and development rate of all life stages of their offspring. They found that DDT resistance in fruit flies not only carries no cost but in fact confers an advantage when inherited through the female. This discovery comes at a time when a number of developing nations, including South Afric...

Mosquitoes are more attracted to individuals infected with malaria

...are more attracted to children with the infectious stages of malaria than to those infected with non-transmissible forms of the disease or to uninfected people. The question of whether malaria increases your chances of being bitten by a mosquito has long stalled scientists because of numerous confounding f...

NYU biologists map out early stages of embryo formation

...d out a preliminary molecular diagram of the early stages of embryo formation, offering for the first time a global look at how a single cell begins its path into a multi-cellular organism. The findings are reported in the August 11 issue of the journal Nature. The team is studying the function of the geno...

Learning how SARS spikes its quarry

...rus uses to grab host cells and initiate the first stages of infection. The structure, which shows how the spike protein grasps its receptor, may help scientists learn new details about how the virus infects cells. The information could also be helpful in identifying potential weak points that can be exploi...

Forsyth scientists find three bacteria associated with oral cancer

...nt of OSCC cases are not diagnosed until the later stages and fewer than 54 per cent of individuals diagnosed in those stages live for five years¡Xplacing OSCC among the deadliest of cancers. "Far too many people are not diag...

How HIV disables the cells' call for help

...ders such as rheumatoid arthritis. In the initial stages of HIV infection, the protein coatings of the viruses fuse with the outer membranes of T cells ?immune system cells that recognize foreign invaders and alert other types of immune cell to come to the rescue. The genetic material of the virus, which i...

Life's origins were easier than was thought

...n the chemical reactions of the cell. In the early stages of life, it seems that the first RNA chains would have had the dual role of self-replicating (as is today the case with DNA) and participating actively in the chemical reactions of the cell activity. Because of their dual role, these cells are calle...

‘Blue Brain?project explores thought at molecular level

...ences from different pig tissues and developmental stages have been analyzed. These sequences will be released in the near future together with a publication on pig gene expression. This far, the pig sequence data have been obtained thanks to an investment of app. 10 million US$ by CAS and DCPBP together w...

Genetically engineered animals help in scientific research that may benefit children

...vantage of mimicking in a short time the different stages of chronic kidney disease. The combination of genetically engineered animals and this animal model has helped us to decide which molecules to study, or which might be interesting targets for drug development in human chronic kidney disease."

Hormones and growth: The control of body size and developmental growth rate in fruit flies

...phila. Fruit flies undergo three successive larval stages and molts before undergoing metaphorphosis and emerging as adult flies. In insects, it was previously found that the release of the hormone ecdysone from an endocrine organ called the prothoracic gland triggers larval molting and, ultimately, metamor...

Quantum dots provide a faster, more sensitive method for detecting respiratory viral infections

...h to detect the presence of the virus at the early stages of an infection. Another advantage of the quantum dots when compared to detection systems that rely on fluorescent protein is that the protein "bleaches out" in minutes while quantum dots maintain their brightness for hours. The image on the right s...

Brain size may depend upon how neural cells are cleaved

...ed during development is critical because at later stages of neurogenesis, vertical cleavage gives rise to two mature neurons that are incapable of further division, while horizontal cleavage yields one neuron and one progenitor cell that can continue to support brain growth. The researchers speculate that...

Nanowires can detect molecular signs of cancer, scientists find

...nd] detection of markers associated with different stages of disease pathogenesis could further facilitate early detection." While initial rounds of cancer testing today identify only whether or not cancer is present, nanowire arrays have the potential to immediately fill in details on exactly what type of...

MicroRNA tweaks protein that controls early heart development

...e. "We think that Hand2 is necessary in the early stages of embryonic development to allow proliferation and expansion of a pool of muscle progenitor cells that can eventually develop into the heart," said Dr. Deepak Srivastava, senior author of the paper. "But at some point production of Hand2 needs to be...
