Microbial fuel cell: High yield hydrogen source and wastewater cleaner
Using a new electrically-assisted microbial fuel cell (MFC) that does not require oxygen, Penn State environmental engineers and a scientist at Ion Power Inc. have developed the first process that enables bacteria to coax four times as much hydrogen directly out of biomass than can be generated typically by fermentation alone. Dr. Bruce Logan, the Kappe professor of environmental engineeri...Scientists reveal structure of gateways to gene control
Scientists at Penn State University will reveal in the 29 March 2007 issue of the journal Nature the first complete high-resolution map of important structures that control how genes are packaged and regulated throughout an entire genome. "For the first time, we are seeing in very high resolution on a genome-wide scale how nucleosomes control the expression of an organism's genes," said B. Fran...ViraPower UbC Lentiviral Gateway Expression Kit from Invitrogen
Description:Many mammalian cell types and experimental situations create challenges for standard transfection experiments. The ViraPower Lentiviral Expression System overcomes these challenges with efficient...Baculovirus Expression System with Gateway Technology from Invitrogen
Description:The Baculovirus Expression System with Gateway™ Technology is designed to create recombinant pFastBac™ plasmids containing the polyhedrin promoter. The expression cassette is transferred to the baculovirus genome (bacmid DNA) by site-specific transposition (Tn7) in DH10Bac™ E. coli cells. The recombinant bacmid DNA is then used for transfection and expression in insect cells. Th...pLenti6/V5-DEST Gateway Vector from Invitrogen

A new study of 311 sets of same-sex twins in which only one twin had smoked marijuana before age 17 has bolstered the fiercely debated "gateway theory" that pot can lead to harder drugs. The study included 136 sets of identical twins who shared the same genetic makeup and all the participants were 30 years of age, on an average, when they were asked about their teenage drug use. The resea...Newly Identified Strains Of Chlamydia Trachomatis – A Gateway To New Disease
Chlamydia trachomatis, a bacterium, which is one of the leading cause for sexually transmitted diseases and the second leading cause for blindness globally, is said to be// evolving at a rate faster than scientists would have imagined. The scientists from Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) were the first to conclude this with the help of a new study. The Scientist...'Gateway' Gene Discovered for Brain Cancer
Researchers have discovered that the same genetic regulator that triggers growth of stem cells during brain development also plays a central role in the development of the lethal brain cancer malignant glioma. //In experiments on mice with such gliomas, they showed that knocking out the function of a particular regulatory protein, Olig2, almost completely eliminated tumor formation. Th...Another Statewide Organization Joins the Fight Against Assisted Suicide
The California Alliance for Inclusive Communities (CAIC) has recently joined the fight against assisted suicide and Assembly Bill 374. They join the majority of state and national disability rights organizations already opposing assisted suicide. CAIC is an advocacy group that works on behalf of groups with developmental and other disabilities and their families. Just as a new nati...TEW Cranial/Spinal Retractor (A 1090)
