Genes In The Interferon System Important In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Two genes with very strong associations withthe disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have been identified bya team of scientists headed by researchers at the Department of MedicalSciences at Uppsala University. The findings are being published todayon the Web page of the...

Novel technology detects human DNA mutations

...e, a highly sensitive gold nanoparticle, creates a strong signal accurately indicating the presence of a specific target SNP. Proof of principle, reproducibility, and the robust, simple and rapid characteristics of this technology were demonstrated withunamplified DNA samples representing all possible forms...

Newly discovered virus linked to childhood lung disorders and Kawasaki disease

... so were unavailable at thetime. The statistically strong association with Kawasaki disease,however, was "quite surprising." Noting that previous attempts to linkKawasaki disease to bacteria or other viruses had failed and thusjustified healthy skepticism about the present findings, Dr. McIntoshpointed out ...

Emory Eye Center Implants Its First Retinal Chips In Patients With Retinitis Pigmentosa

Pre- and post-surgery patients are evaluated by a team of researchers working at the Eye Center and the VA Rehab...

Researchers reveal the infectious impact of salmon farms on wild salmon

...ave worked out the spatial footprint ?the data are strong and show that the farms are having a significant impact over a very large area." The researchers isolated the effect of the salmon farm by studying the infection levels of migrating juvenile pink and chum salmon as they approached and passed a salmo...

Experiments provide proof of how traveling in groups protects insects

... insect experts has developed what they believe is strong new evidence that the latter theory is correct. By gluing radio transmitters -- each weighing less than half a gram -- to the backs of Mormon crickets in northeastern Utah and northwestern Colorado, Drs. Gregory A. Sword, Patrick D. Lorch and Darryl ...

Scientists develop new color-coded test for protein folding

...10, the blue solution turned reddish once again--a strong indication that some cytochrome c molecules had refolded into their original three-dimensional shape. In fact, the experiment showed that, when attached to gold film, cytochrome c can fold, unfold and refold countless times depending on the acidity o...

Nano-Probes Allow an Inside Look at Cell Nuclei

... the secret lives of cell nuclei comes by way of a strong collaboration between biologists and chemists. For the past four years, Chen and Gerion have worked closely with members of the lab of Paul Alivisatos, a Berkeley Lab chemist in the Materials Sciences Division and Associate Laboratory Director who he...

Influenza vaccine uses insect cells to speed development

...has established safety and the ability to elicit a strong antibody response in humans. "Since all the media used here are chemically stable and commercially available, the process can be easily scaled up for commercial manufacture," says Wang. "New FluBlok vaccines can be developed quickly and safely to ad...

Scientists solve structure of key protein in innate immune response

...ts the molecule to other proteins which initiate a strong pro-inflammatory response that stimulates host defenses. "Macrophages and monocytes can recognize distinct structural patterns in various molecules from pathogenic microorganisms," explains Dr. Jie-Oh Lee of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science a...

Implanted Devices Detect High-Risk Heart Failure Patients

...received the CRT-D device, the researchers found a strong correlation between the heart rate variability changes within two weeks of implantation and mortality one year later. "This approach may play a significant role in targeting a subset of heart failure patients for whom we need to be more aggressive i...

In entering this collaboration with Nonlinear, we are firmly endorsing Nonlinear Dynamics as that partner. The product and corporate synergies between PerkinElmer and Nonlinea...

LUCA technologies confirms real-time methane generation

...eld has a waxy composition that may facilitate the strong real-time methane generation we see at this site," commented Mr. Pfeiffer. "If so, then areas with large accumulations of waxy oil ?for example, the Daqing Field in Northeast China -- could prove to be important sites for the bioconversion of residua...

Pathogen-Mimicking Vaccine As Strategy For Cancer Therapy

The results from this trial represent a substantial step forward in this regard. This conclusion is justified because we are using reproducible immunological monitoring across the CVC, allowi...

Vampire bats keep out of trouble by running

...relimbs -- actually their wings and therefore very strong -- the bats run more like a small gorilla than a comparable four-legged creature like a mouse. They run up to about 2.5 miles per hour.
