Not-for-profit publishers call NIH public access rule a missed opportunity
The final National Institutes of Health (NIH) rule on Enhanced Public Access to NIH Research Information is wasteful of federal research dollars and a missed opportunity to take advantage of...NIH Calls on Scientists to Speed Public Release of Research Publications
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced today a new policy designed to accelerate the public's access to published articles resulting from NIH-funded research. The policy ?the first of its kind for NIH ?calls on scientists to release to the public manuscripts from research supported by NIH as soon as possible, and within 12 months of final publication. These peer-reviewed, NIH-f...NIH Researchers Discover How Insulin Allows Entry of Glucose Into Cells
Researchers from the National Institutes of Health have discovered the critical sequence of events by which insulin stimulates the entry of glucose into fat cells. The study, appearing in the May 9 Journal of Cell Biology, was conducted by researchers from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases....NIH renews network focused on how genes influence drug responses
Findings will pave the way for individually tailored therapiesContinuing its strong support for studies on how genes affect responses to medications, the National Institutes of Health anticipates spending more than $150 million over five years to renew its Pharmacogenetics Research Network (PGRN). The research of this nationwide network of scientists will eventually help doctors tailor drug presc...NIH creates nationwide network of molecular libraries screening centers
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) today announced it is awarding $88.9 million in grants to nine institutions over three years to establish a collaborative research network that will use high-tech screening methods to identify small molecules that can be used as research tools. Small molecules have great potential to help scientists in their efforts to learn more about key biological proces...NIH / 3T3 cell line slides ( mouse: embryo ) from GeneTex
Description:Mouse NIH / 3T3 cells were cultured in DMEM with 4 mM L-glutamine and harvested at the log phase of growth. In order to keep the antigens in their native forms, cells were fixed in acetone-methanol. The cells are arrayed on a 12-well (5 mm) adhesive coated slide, with each wells surface specifically treated to enhance cellular attachment and to minimize background staining. Each well is loaded...A Comparison Study of Lipid Tranfection Reagents in A549, NIH 3T3 and COS-7 Cell Lines
Genetic Applications LLC transfection reagent canbe used for simple and reproducible delivery of foreign DNA into mammaliancells. In this study, we used varying amounts of LipoTAXI transf...Platypus Technologies receives $1.6 million NIH grant
The Small Business Innovation Research grant is for continued development of the company's proprietary liquid crystal based technology to enable faster screening of drugs for treatment of cancer. The com...Wisconsin biotech firm receives $107K NIH grant
The peer-reviewed grant will be used to build and test a new instrument for purifying proteins used in medi...Midwest colleges strong contenders for NIH funds
funding by state for 2005. At that time, we saw that the Midwest had two states in the top 10 states for funding, and we had another five states in the top 20 states. I promised to circle back with you to review the results for the leading universit...Vical Biotech and NIH jointly develops HIV vaccine
A new HIV vaccine is being jointly developed by Vical Pharmaceuticals and the National Institute of Health (NIH). The new HIV vaccine was developed by the scientistis in NIH and the Federal government is using the Vical Biotechs DNA delivery technology to inserting the HIV genes//. Vical Inc. is a Biotechnology company based in California, which has developed an accurate DNA delivery sy...NIH To Launch Two Major Gene and Disease Projects Soon
In order to better understand the role of genetic and environmental factors in the incidence of common diseases, the United States has planned to launch two major research studies// The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced this recently. The link between genes, environment and the disease would form the main focus of the study. One of the projects would revolve around the sig...NIH Funds the Development of National Consortium of Universities
A $100 million grant has been given to a dozen top universities on Tuesday by the government in order to set up a network// that would hasten scientific discoveries towards better health care thereby trying to transform how medical research is done. This idea came about because of the increased specialization in medicine which has made it more difficult than ever for scientists from d...New data from NIH lab confirms protocol to reverse type 1 diabetes in mice
New data published in the Nov. 24 issue of Science supports the protocol to reverse type 1 diabetes in mice and there is proof now that adult precursor cells// from the spleen can add to the renewal of beta cells. In 2001 and 2003, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) showed the benefits of a procedure to turnaround type 1 diabetes in diabetic mice. Three studies from o...Yale Child Study Center Receives NIH Grant for Autism Research
The Yale Child Study Center has received a $3.5 million National Institute of Child Health and Human Development grant for an ongoing, multidisciplinary research program// on autism and related developmental disorders. The five-year research program focuses on developmental aspects and outcomes for affected patients. The project includes a prospective study on the earliest manifestat...
