Remote control flies? Fly behavior controlled by laser light
Yale University School of Medicine researchers have found a way to exercise a little mind control over fruit flies, making the flies jump, beat their wings, and fly on command by triggering genetic "remote controls" that the scientists designed and installed in the insects' central nervous systems, accordi...Protein synthesis can be controlled by light, opening way for new scientific, medical applications
Proteins are the puzzle-pieces of life, involved in how organisms grow and flourish, but studying their complex biological processes in living systems has been extremely difficult. Now, a team of chemists and neurobiologists led by Timothy Dore at the University of Georgia and Erin M. Schuman at the California Institute of Technology has found a way to use light to regulate protein synthesis in s...Woods Hole Research Center plans controlled burn in Amazon rainforest
Fire is an important agent of transformation in the Amazon landscape. Every year, low intensity fires burn thousands of square miles of Amazon forest. To study the effects of these fires on the forest, and the forests' ability to recover from repeated burning, Woods Hole Research Center scientists will burn two and a half square kilometers of forest in the transition forest of northern Mato Gross...Study finds 60 new genes controlled by DNA snippet
Researchers worldwide are seeking to define ancient sections of our genetic code that may soon be as important to medical science as genes. A new wave of research is concerned with, not how genes work, but how small regulatory DNA sequences tell genes where, when and to what degree to "turn on." As part of this effort, researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center scanned through the...Small, self-controlled planes combine plant pathology and engineering
David Schmale, assistant professor of plant pathology, physiology, and weed science in the College of Agriculture and Li...Progression of Glaucoma could be controlled with early detection
Glaucoma, according to doctors, is a disease of the eye, which has no early warning signs and many affected patients are unaware they have the disease until it has advanced. And once someone has lost his or her vision from glaucoma, it cannot be regained. Researchers in New York and Sweden, focusing on a previous study called The Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial, conducted a study which looked// at...Fungal Infections Effectively Controlled By Light Therapy
Light therapy combined with drugs may be an effective treatment for patients with a variety of fungal infections according to a study // which was focused on the mechanism by which an infectious fungus perceives light. This finding could play an important role because it suggests that changes in light following fungal invasion may spark infection. Light normally inhibits mating of the C....Controlled Gene Expressions Can Cure Many Diseases
Researchers had found a new technique to control genetic expressions by silencing some expressions of the gene.// This technique is all set to cure many diseases and health conditions. Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center had developed this new approach that could theoretically produce a drug for the treatment or cure of almost any disease In two papers appearing in...High Cholesterol Can Be Controlled By Screening And Prevention
In a report published by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) researchers had emphasized the need to control the cholesterol levels and provided a guideline to do so.// High cholesterol levels are not only bad for the heart and blood vessels, but they may also increase the risk of cognitive impairment, which may lead to Alzheimer’s disease. During September, celebrating the...Controlled Dynamic Stretch Knee Brace
Description:Dynamic brace that provides a low load, prolonged stretch to the connective tissue around the joint using an adjustment hinge with a built-in tension spring...Vibratome 3000 Deluxe, Auto./Temp. Controlled
Description:The NEW Vibratome 3000 Deluxe Sectioning System provides a versatile means of sectioning fresh or fixed, animal, or plant tissues. The 3000 employs a vibrating blade principle which allows sectioning without freezing or embedding. The creation of artifacts, the alteration of morphology, the destruction of enzyme activities, and other deleterious effect inherent in freezing or embedding procedur...Vibratome 3000 Deluxe, Auto./Temp Controlled, CE
