Duke Chemists Isolating Individual Molecules Of Toxic Protein In Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease
To understand the formation of the brain-clogging deposits that cause such disorders as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, Duke University chemists have figured out how to capture and "micromanipulate" the single molecular building blocks of the deposits. Their aim is to understand the detailed assembly process for the toxic protein called amyloid plaque. Such basic understanding, they...Breakthrough isolating embryo-quality stem cells from blood
A major breakthrough in stem cell research ?a new tool that could allow scientists to harvest stem cells ethically - will be announced at the Institute of Physics' conference Physics 2005 in Warwick later today (Tuesday 12th April). Professor Josef Käs and Dr Jochen Guck from the University of Leipzig have developed a procedure that can extract and isolate embryo-quality stem cells from ad...New Protocols for Isolating High- Molecular-Weight Genomic DNA
Stratagene Stratagene now offers updated protocols to isolate and purifyhigh-molecular-weight genomic DNA using the RecoverEase DNAisolation kit. New procedures include DNA isolation from blood, bo...
