Advancements In Genomics Foster Deep Sea Discoveries
At one time, scientists wondered whether life existed in the deep recesses of the world’s oceans. What kinds of creatures, they wondered, could withstand the dark, cold and extreme pressure of such an environment? Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, and their colleagues have used innovations in genomics research to begin to develo...Governor Doyle Pledges Support for Stem Cell Research and Biotechnology Advancements
Madison, WI Governor James Doyle was joined by University of Wisconsin Chancellor John Wiley along with leaders from Wisconsins biotechnology industry in pledging their full support for the continued growth and development of Wisconsin s biotechnology industry. The Governor, addressing a special meeting of the Wisconsin Biotechnology Association, proclaimed his full support for the con...Liability issues not seen as roadblock to healthcare technology advancements
But as clinical healthcare technology developers market their products more directly to consumers, they will assume more liability for use of...Ingenious Biodegradable Heart Stent May Dictate Advancements in Heart Stent Technology
A heart specialist from down under has experimented with a novel type of heart stent that utilizes biodegradable tubes to clear blocked arteries. This could prove a blessing for// the multitude of people combating problems in the heart, due to blocks in their arteries. Heart stents are no doubt an ingenious intervention, extremely advantageous in reducing the number of heart attacks a...Protein Reduction Ceases Alzheimer's Advancement in Mice
Reducing the levels of a protein called tau helped in the reduction of Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice. This promises to be a novel way of helping find treatment// to a deadly brain disorder, scientists hope. Dr. Lennart Mucke of the University of California, San Francisco said, “If this strategy also works in humans, it could enable a major leap forward in our ability" The r...Protein Reduction Ceases Alzheimer's Advancement in Mice
