HIV vaccine trial breaks ground for future research
The results of the world's first phase 3 HIV vaccine efficacy trial are reported in the March 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online. Although the vaccine was ineffective in preventing HIV infection, the trial represents a landmark in the fight against HIV and offers the scientific community a foundation on which to build future trials. The multi-centered tria...Roots Engage in Underground Chemical Warfare
In addition to providing physical support and taking in nutrients, plant roots secrete a wide variety of compounds that affect other nearby roots, as well as insects and microbes. But because it goes on unseen, bactericidal root activity has not been extensively investigated—until now. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, a relative of garden-variety cabbage, Jorge Vivanco and co-workers a...Prescription Drug Patches Gaining Ground, Tackling New Therapies
Created as an alternate route of drug administration to improve patient compliance and reduce drug side effects, prescription skin patches are rapidly becoming an important healthcare product category. While quietly gaining market share for the treatment of chronic conditions such as angina, hypertension and HRT, the technology is set to make further inroads as transdermal patches for a host of n...'Underground' tunnels discovered as means for communication between immune system cells
University of Pittsburgh researchers first to report function of tunneling nanotubules Immune system cells are connected to each other by an extensive network of tiny tunnels that, like a building's hidden pneumatic tube system, are used to shoot signals to distant cells. This surprising discovery, being reported by two University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers in the Septem...Huntington's cure in flies lays groundwork for broader treatment approaches
Boosting levels of two critical proteins that normally shut down during Huntington's disease, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have cured fruit flies of the genetic, neurodegenerative condition. The study results,...Zero Background Cloning Kit from Invitrogen
Description:The Zero Background Cloning Kit includes the pZErO-1 vector with Zeocin resistance for selection in E. coli. The pZErO-1 vector utilizes positive selection to eliminate high background. The small size of the Zeocin resistance gene reduces the overall vector size for increased ligation and transformation efficiencies. The kit contains all of the reagents you need for simple cloning and analysis of...Zero Background/Kan Cloning Kit from Invitrogen
Description:The Zero Background/Kan Cloning Kit includes the pZErO-2 vector with kanamycin resistance for selection in E. coli.

MADISON Its no secret Wisconsin fares poorly when it comes to attracting federal dollars. In annual 50-state rankings, Wisconsin scores in the bottom five in getting a return on the federal tax dollars its citizens send to Uncle Sam. In bringing home the bacon, Wisconsin is mostly oink and little pork. The exceptions are those federal programs where Wisconsin research institutions and,...Groundbreaking Study Gives Hope For Patients With Kidney Cancer
German researchers have developed what appears to be an effective vaccine against recurrent kidney cancers.// Kidney cancer accounts for about 3 percent of all cancers and causes about 12,000 deaths in the United States every year. The disease most often strikes those in their 50s and 60s. Standard treatment involves removal of all or part of the kidney. Unlike some other cancers, however, kidney...Death Wishes Influenced By Ethnicity and Racial Background
A new study published in the current issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society says that the dying wishes of people are based on their ethnicity and racial backgrounds. // The study found that Arab Americans did not want to spend their last days at a nursing home, while African Americans did not mind it. Hispanic people want to die with dignity and were very worried about it. <...Fresh Cases of Bird-Flu Prepares the Ground for More Chicken Martyrs
