Antarctic ice shelf retreats happened before
The retreat of Antarctic ice shelves is not new according to research published this week (24 Feb) in the journal Geology by scientists from Universities of Durham, Edinburgh and British Antarctic Survey (BAS). A study of George VI Ice Shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula is the first to show that this currently 'healthy' ice shelf experienced an extensive retreat about 9500 years ago, more t...Bacteria collection sheds light on urinary tract infections
Food of animal origin, contaminated with E.coli, can lead to urinary tract infections in women, according to a team of bacteriologists. Senior author, Dr. Lee W. Riley, Uni...Sea skate experiment sheds light on human cell transport
Along with Mark Musch, a longtime University of Chicago collaborator, Goldstein conducted an experiment with the red blood cells of skates to understand how these skinny, graceful fish can swim from salt water to fresh water. For humans, such a drastic environmental change would prompt an equally drastic physiological change: Our cells would take in too much water, diluting blood and other body f...Study shows nanoshells ideal as chemical nanosensors
'Nanoshells' enhance sensitivity to chemicaldetection by factor of 10 billionNew research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ofScience finds that tailored nanoparticles known as nanoshells canenhance chemical sensing by as much as 10 billion times. That makesthem about 10,000 times more effective at Raman scattering thantraditional methods. Whenmolecules and materi...How an AIDS-Related Cancer Unleashes Inflammation
Although new HIV treatments have drastically reduced the incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma in developed countries, it remains a health threat in many developing countries. Now, researchers have discovered one way that Kaposi's sarcoma ?a cancer-like viral disease traditionally associated with AIDS ?triggers severe inflammation. Don Ganem, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator,...ELx50 Microplate Strip Washer from BioTek Instruments

Difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE) is a relatively straightforward application of differential labeling of protein samples using fluorescent dyes. The technique, originally published by Unlu et al. (1997), uses cyanine (Cy) dyes to differentially label proteins separated by 2-D gel electrophoresis. Following labeling...Shelved bowel-syndrome drug still in demand
After receiving thousands of letters from desperate patients, the FDA will convene a panel of outside experts to discuss whether Lotronex, an irritable bowel syndrome(IBS) medication,// can come back on the market. To meet demand, FDA official Victor Raczkowski says, his agency has expanded time allowed for public testimony at the advisory committee meeting. IBS, affecting up to 15% o...Antidepressant Helps Relieve Hot Flashes
A popular antidepressant helped reduce the frequency of hot flashes in menopausal women, a drug company-funded study said on Tuesday, though an independent researcher said the drug's effectiveness was limited. Alternative treatments to hormone replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats and memory and sleep problems will be looked at more closely because...Cure For Deafness Leads Scientist To Find How Fishes Can Hear And Hum Sounds At Same Time
Researchers at Cornell University have discovered how a fish found along the West Coast can hum and hear outside // sounds at the same time!!.
