New, automated tool successfully classifies and relates proteins in unprecedented way
For the first time, researchers haveautomatically grouped fluorescently tagged proteins fromhigh-resolution images of cells. This technical feat opens a new way toidentify disease proteins and drug targets by helping to show whichproteins cluster together inside a cell.The approach, developed by Carnegie Mellon University, outperformsexisting visual methods to localize proteins inside cells...GATA: a graphic alignment tool for comparative sequence analysis
Sometimes apotential target for a drug seems very promising on paper; things areoften very different in reality. Its the case of telomerase inhibitorsto treat cancer; they are supposed to strip the "immortal" (able todivide indefinitely) aspect of cancer cells. Yet, something in the cellseems to block their function, preventing them to inhibit completelythe...Researchers add new tool to tumor-treatment arsenal
A new study demonstrates the potential effectiveness of treating tumors by combining agents that damage DNA with a drug that sensitizes cancer cells to these agents. The research, led by George Thomas, PhD, professor at the University of Cincinnati's (UC) Genome Research Institute, and Heidi Lane of Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research, appears in the March 25, 2005, issue of the jo...Agilent Technologies releases automated literature search tool for biology researchers
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today released an automated literature search tool for the multidisciplinary study of biological systems. The tool is available as a free plug-in to Cytoscape 2.1, an open-source bioinformatics platform that enables researchers to form a visual map of complex biological networks, increasing their understanding of molecular pathways and the biological causes of...Carnegie Mellon scientists develop tool that uses MRI to visualize gene expression in living animals
In a first, Carnegie Mellon University scientists have "programmed" cells to make their own contrast agents, enabling unprecedented high-resolution, deep-tissue imaging of gene expression. The results, appearing in the April issue of Nature Medicine, hold considerable promise for conducting preclinical studies in the emerging field of molecular therapeutics and for monitoring the delivery of ther...Strip Removal Tool from Thermo Scientific

Now that we know completegenomes, we want tounderstand the functionsof proteomes, the sum of allproteins encoded by agenome at a specific stage.Assembling the protein puzzlepresents an even more challengingtask than the sequencing of thegenome. The reason for this...Photographs An Effective Tool In Detecting Skin Cancer
Researchers say atypical nevi are the strongest risk factors for melanoma skin cancer.// Previous research also shows patients have a better chance of survival if melanoma is detected early. New research shows patients who use photographs of their own skin for reference are more likely to keep better track of new or changed moles. Researchers in New York studied 50 patients who had five...A New Evaluation Tool That Could Predict Death Risk in Heart Patients
A new evaluation tool can predict the mortality risk in patients hospitalized with heart failure say researchers based on findings // of a recent study. According to researchers the new bedside tool is a first of its kind for the treatment of acute heart failure and offers a simple, quick way for clinicians to assess mortality risk upon hospital admission and quickly decide on a treatment...New Tools To Identify Flu Strains
Researchers have developed a portable la-chip called Genotyper that can identify the genetic //structure of the flu virus within hours and help the doctors to treat patients effectively. Developed by researchers from University of Michigan, the Genotyper is on its way to become fully portable and be connected wirelessly and can be taken all around the world to track the various flu str...Schizophrenia Gets A New Diagnostic Tool
Researchers from University of New South Wales may be one of the first scientists to develop a tool for diagnosing schizophrenia and bipolar disease. Currently there is no single test that could exactly identify the disease.// The researchers who had their paper published in the latest issue of the journal Psychiatry Research said that this may make the diagnosis of these disease muc...Evoprinter, a multigenomic comparative tool for rapid identification of functionally important DNA
Deciphering the regulatory mechanisms that control coordinate gene expression is a long-standing goal of biology. The comparison of orthologous DNA sequences from multiple vertebrate or invertebrate // species holds promise in identifying the cis-regulatory elements central to the dynamic interplay between a gene and its transcriptional regulators. This cross-species comparison, termed ph...Gas operated stool without castors

No matter how elementary or advanced, every clinical laboratory possesses one essential devicea centrifuge. It may be a bench-top or floor model, refrigerated or non-cooled, but this apparatus, because of its unique ability to fractionate liquid specimens by creating spin-induced high g-forces, has long been a standard tool for both diagnosis and research applications. For all this utility, t...Appendicitis: Evolving Tools to Diagnose a Classic Disease
Contributing Editor Appendicitis is a common, potentially lethal condition that affects 7% of individuals sometime in their lives. The condition occurs when the appendix, a blind pouch of intestine at the proximal colon, becomes obstructed by mucus, stool, or lymphatic tissue. Infection ensues, which can rapidly evol...Breast Cancer and HER-2/neu: Diagnostic Tools for Targeted Therapy
Contributing Editor With over 200,000 new cases and 40,000 deaths per year, breast cancer undoubtedly qualifies as one of Americas most serious health problems. Recently, efforts to develop early detection methods and more effective therapy have made important progress. This is particularly...
