Color-blind method opens new doors in DNA sequencing

...nsively. Metzker and the major developers of this technology filed a patent on PME in 2001, which has been exclusively licensed to LaserGen for commercial development. Others who participated in the research include Carter Kittrell, Bruce R. Johnson, Freddy Nguyen, Daniel A. Heller, Matthew J. Allen, Robert R...

Purdue proves concept of using nano-materials for drug discovery

... deactivate the pumps, Lee said. Such an advanced technology could be used to quickly screen millions of untested drug compounds that exist in large pharmaceutical "libraries." The chips could dramatically increase the number of experiments that are possible with a small amount of protein. "It's been very har...

Protein Packages Found To Activate Genes; May Be What Regulates Development And Disease

...and their colleagues from Affymetrix, a California technology company. The analysis shows a striking and surprising exception in the way some critical genes are activated by the protein packaging. These proteins act like spools for the long strings of DNA that contain our genes and form chromosomes. The resear...

Genetically modified natural killer immune cells attack, kill leukemia cells

... cells." A potential clinical application for the technology developed in this study is in leukemia patients who are treated with hematopoietic (blood cell-forming) cell transplantation. In this case, NK cells will be derived from the transplant donor, expanded and genetically modified. These modified NK cells...

Open microfluidic and nanofluidic systems

...al physics. In general, the development of any new technology requires a systematic understanding of the underlying physics. This latter constraint applies to all length scales: if one wanted to build a robot which walks over water, for instance, a human-like robot is a bad idea while a spider-like robot is a m...

Nanogen Issued Patent for Electronic Microarray With Memory

...ach electrode in a local memory. This "smart chip" technology is a key feature of Nanogen's NanoChip(R) 400 electronic microarray, the company's second generation multi-purpose system for developing and performing molecular diagnostic tests. Using local memory circuits provides for precise control of the curre...

Nano-Probes Allow an Inside Look at Cell Nuclei

...robes suitable for the study of living cells. This technology has been licensed to the Hayward, California-based Quantum Dot Corporation for use in biological assays. More recently, Chen and Gerion wondered if they could get even closer to the genetic action by transporting quantum dots inside cell nuclei. "W...

First real-time view of developing neurons reveals surprises, say Stanford researchers

...they take on their adult role. But after using new technology for the first time to watch these cells develop, a team of researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine found that neurons come into this world with a good idea about what they'll become as adults. The work, which is detailed in a paper...
