Chemists create 'Superbowl' molecule; May lead to better health
In a development that could one day score a touchdown for better health, chemists in Australia have created a "superbowl" molecule that shows promise for precision drug delivery, according to a recent study in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Shaped like a miniature football stadium, the molecule is capable of delivering a wide range of drugs ?from painkillers to chemotherapy cocktai...Supercomputer Dedicated To Bioengineering, Computational Biology Installed
The University of California, San Diego, with support from the National Institutes of Health and the Whitaker Foundation, has installed a supercomputer dedicated to solving a wide range of challenging biological problems. The 210-node Dell PowerEdge Linux cluster capable of 2.6 trillion mathematical operations per second, the second most powerful computer cluster on campus, will be used to analyz...Super predators and mass extinctions
Mass extinctions seem to occur on Earth roughly every 26 million years, leading some scientists to propose that they may be caused by rare collisions with comets or asteroids. A researcher in Poland thinks it may be possible that extraordinary predators are at fault instead. Adam Lipowski (Adam Mickiewicz University) constructed a numerical model of many species competing for both food and...Supercomputers to focus brains on AIDS dilemma
More than two decades after it burst onto the scene, HIV/AIDS has claimed more than twenty million lives and continues to devastate societies around the world, particularly in Africa and other developing countries. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, after years of effort AIDS researchers succeeded in developing a class of drugs that proved to be highly effective against AIDS. By blocking the acti...SuperLigands - a database of ligand structures derived from the Protein Data Bank
Scientists have isolated the first human embryonic stem cell lines specifically tailored to match the nuclear DNA of patients, both males and females of various ages, suffering from disease or spinal cord injury. These ce...Superfusion System, Raiteri's Method from myNeuroLab.com
Description:Neurotransmitters are stored within neurons in vesicles called synaptosomes. Synaptosomes are concentrated in the synaptic bouton. Synaptosomes may be centrifuged and isolated from other cellular debris. Abnormalites in neurotransmitter release have been proposed in many pathological condtions. Conditions of release may be studied in isolated synaptosome preparations.The Superfusion System o...SuperScript II RNase H- Reverse Transcriptase from Invitrogen
Description:SuperScript™ II RNase H- Reverse Transcriptase (RT) is an improved version of the SuperScript™ RNase H- RT. It is a DNA polymerase that synthesizes a complementary DNA strand from single-stranded RNA DNA or an RNA:DNA hybrid. This enzyme is genetically engineered by the introduction of point mutations rather than a deletion in the RNase H active center. Like SuperScript™ RT Supe...SuperScript II RNase H- Reverse Transcriptase from Invitrogen

Description:Overview: Once a macromolecular structure has been determined, the challenge is to communicate that information to a widely diverse audience of scientists, educators and students. Current options include the printed literature and dissemination over the Internet, either via online journals or directly on personal web pages. Printed literature has the advantage of wide acceptance and availability,...Luminol-enhanced Assay for Superoxide Anion (O2 face="Symbol" )

Mediating RNA interference (RNAi) with recombinant adenovirus expressing siRNAs has only recently been described in the literature (1). Recombinant adenoviruses have several advantages over other methods of nucleic acid delivery. Namely, these viruses can infect dividing and...Acupuncture superseeds massage therapy for short term relief of pain
Chronic neck pain often remains a therapeutic challenge for many practising allopathic medicine. so now the alternative forms of medicine has taken its stride. Acupuncture vs massage for treating pain has been widely debated with some practitioners. Dr. Dominik Irnich of Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich has done a study on this basis and found that when it comes to chronic neck pa...High development costs hinder entry of cancer super drugs into the market
Cancer patients in the future could benefit from pharmacogenomics or the field of personalized medicine where therapies could be tailored to suit individual patients. Few drugs which target specific protein receptors in cancer are already in the market and the decoding of the human genome// offers great promise to patients, as the therapy could become more specialized. However, all this comes wi...Top Ten Super Food Items That Can Help In Avoiding Cancer
It is believed that almost one-third of all cancers are preventable by changes in our life style and // food habits. Exercising regularly and loosing excess weight also helps. To lose weight one should also have fiber rich food. The National Cancer Institute in US recently approved the dietary guidance: "Diets rich in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer and other chr...Use of antibiotics in farms may increase ‘super bugs
A new research has pointed out the increasing problem of super bugs to the extensive// use of antibiotics in the agricultural farmlands. Super bugs are a new kind of microorganisms, mainly bacteria by nature, which may not be affected by a wide range of antibiotics. The researchers of Fogarty International Center and others who together had published the research report blam...Storz Supersorb Micro Eye Sponge
