RNA splicing occurs in nerve-cell dendrites

...endrites because they have employed very sensitive technologies developed in their lab, which permits the detection and quantification of RNA splicing as well as the translated protein in single isolated dendrites. "In addition to showing that mRNA splicing occurs in dendrites in which we added mRNA, we also det...

Researchers make long DNA 'wires' for future medical and electronic devices

...ase diagnosis. But first, researchers must develop technologies to mass produce DNA circuits as they produce chip circuits today. The technique that Lee and Guan used is similar to a relatively inexpensive chip-making technology called soft lithography, where rubber molds press materials into shape. In this stu...

UCLA discovery will aid in treatment of patients with a deadly brain cancer

...er research," Mischel said. "Genomic and proteomic technologies are helping us begin to understand the underlying molecular features of disease, and new drugs are making it possible to safely and specifically target pathways that are altered in cancer cells. This was impossible five years ago. Glioblastoma is sti...

Some good news for the world's poor

...ecause we know now that by providing them with new technologies via rice research we can lift them out of poverty," said IRRI Director General Robert S. Zeigler. The paper's lead author, Dr. Shenggen Fan, works at IRRI's sister institute, the Washington-based International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)....

Genetic testing still smart choice, despite uncertainties

...rn each year with the aid of assisted reproductive technologies like IVF, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The use of IVF has declined in recent years, but Grifo said that is largely because baby boomers are leaving their childbearing years. Technologies like preimplantation genetic di...

Nanoparticles, nanoshells, nanotubes: How tiny specks may provide powerful tools against cancer

...cancer treatment that involves the use of advanced technologies that are by themselves harmless − but appear to offer potent cancer-killing properties when used together. This tactic focuses on two main ingredients: structures called "nanoshells," which are microscopic balls consisting of a silica core c...

Delaware scientists make significant advance in study of small RNAs

...stems, these sequences were identified using older technologies that do not sequence deeply enough to characterize these molecules on a genome-wide scale. Quantitative information about the abundance and regulation of the majority of small RNAs also has been lacking. With funding from the National Science Foun...

Student scientists create living bacterial photographs

...s produce pigment and appear dark. The biological technologies these students are building could be applied in a variety of ways beyond making photos, says Marcotte. For example, he says the techniques could one day be used to build different tissues based on patterns of light or make bacteria that can produce s...

...rotein structures. The researchers applied the new technologies to determining three-dimensional structures of approximately 200 proteins, representative of some of the 100,000 protein families that are estimated to exist in nature. These structures, in turn, have provided templates for predicting models of over...
