UNH researchers studying spiny dogfish, Gulf of Maine's mini shark

DURHAM, N.H. For such a small shark species, there seems to be super-sized confusion about its population status. But for researchers at the University of New Hampshire, one thing is clear definite changes have occurred to spiny dogfish shark populations in the past two decades. Commercial ...

Caltech engineers build mini drug-producing biofactories in yeast

PASADENA, Calif.-- Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have developed a novel way to churn out large quantities of drugs, including antiplaque toothpaste additives, antibiotics, nicotine, and even morphine, using mini biofactories--in yeast. A paper describing the research, no...

Research consortium to sequence turkey genome

...ity-driven project. Some of the leading researchers behind this initiative met recently at VBI to participate in a Turkey Genome Sequencing Consortium mini Symposium. We are very fortunate and excited to have some of the leading practitioners in poultry science and comparative genomics committed to this s...

2 Alexander von Humboldt professorships go to LMU Munich

...sing the LHC in Geneva, which went online in September. One very characteristic sign of a higher-dimensional membrane theory is namely the creation of mini black holes in the LHC, which will of course disintegrate almost as soon as they are created, and are therefore no threat at all to the earth or manki...

Even low levels of air pollution may pose stroke risk

... be man-made or from natural sources. In the study, researchers identified ischemic strokes and transient ischemic attacks (TIA), sometimes called mini strokes but that often lead to a stroke later. Ischemic attacks are caused by a blockage of blood flow to the brain by a blood clot. The results s...

E.coli a future source of energy?

...oneered by Wood and his colleagues. By selectively deleting six specific genes in E. colis DNA, Wood has basically transformed the bacterium into a mini hydrogen-producing factory thats powered by sugar. Scientifically speaking, Wood has enhanced the bacterias naturally occurring glucose-conversion pro...

Research team says extraterrestrial impact to blame for Ice Age extinctions

...hem because of the shock wave, said Ted Bunch, NAU adjunct professor of geology and former NASA researcher who specializes in impact craters. It was a mini nuclear winter. Bunch and Jim Wittke, a geologic materials analyst at NAU, are co-authors of the paper, which fingers an extraterrestrial imp...

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

...s at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and Albany Medical College, together with Rainforest Nutritionals, Inc. have demonstrated in a mini symposium held today at the 14th International Conference of the Inflammation Research Association (IRA) that a blend of natural botanical products ca...

Technique offers new view of dynamic biological landscape

... genetic interactions promises to change how researchers study the dynamic biological landscape of the cell. The technology, which is called epistatic mini array profiles (E-MAP), has already been used to assign new functions to known genes, to uncover the roles of previously uncharacterized proteins, and...

Used in a new way, RNA interference permanently silences key breast cancer gene

...ique is also providing some valuable insights into the role of STAT3 and its downstream targets," adds Arlinghaus, who also will discuss the work in a mini symposium at the AACR meeting. RNAi has been employed as a laboratory tool to knock down expression of genes in a variety of cells and organisms. I...

Alzheimer's cognitive decline slowed
