Nano-Probes Allow an Inside Look at Cell Nuclei
Nanotechnology may be in its infancy, but biologists may soon use it to watch the inner workings of a living cell like never before. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have developed a way to sneak nano-sized probes inside cell nuclei where they can track life's fundamental processes, such a...UCLA scientists transform HIV into cancer-seeking missile
Camouflaging an impotent AIDS virus in new clothes enables it to hunt down metastasized melanoma cells in living mice, reports a UCLA AIDS Institute study in the Feb. 13 online edition of Nature Medicine. The scientists added the protein that makes fireflies glow to the virus in order to track its journey from the bloodstream to new tumors in the animals' lungs. "For the past 20 years, ge...UCLA launches $20 million stem cell institute to investigate HIV, cancer and neurological disorders

Stratagene Restriction endonucleases are used in many molecular biology protocols,making the functional purity of critical importance. Each restriction enzymepreparation must be free of contaminants that can potentiall...Decontamination and inhibition of ribonucleases
It is common knowledge in most laboratories that RNA is more susceptible to degradation than DNA. Unlike Deoxyribonucleases (DNases), which require metal ions for activity (and can therefore easily be inactivated with chelating agents such as EDTA), ribonucleases (RNases) have virtually no cofactor requirements and adv...Cancer risk among nuclear industry workers
A cohort multinational study was done involving 598 068 nuclear industry workers from 15 countries.// The study was done to estimate the risk of cancer after administrating low doses of radiation. This study is an international collaborative study to estimate the cancer risk among radiation workers in the nuclear industry to find out the risk of cancer occurrence after low dose exposur...Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy aids in mapping protein structure
New research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has outlined the procedure// to gauge the strength of hydrogen bonds in proteins, the building blocks of life. The study was conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison biochemists led by John Markley, Professor of biochemistry. The research focused on iron-sulfur proteins called rubredoxins. These prot...Systemic Corticosteroid Therapy can be used for treating all types of Infectious Mononucleosis
Scott Thompson and colleagues from University of Rochester Medical Center, has found from review of records of patients treated with corticosteroids that Corticosteroids is the most effective and useful treatment// option for Infectious mononucleosis, including severe airway compromise mononucleosis. The results of the study have been published in Achieves of Otolaryngology – Head and Nec...A Novel Method Of Detection Of High Nuclear Grade Localized Renal Cell Carcinoma
Elective nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) is considered appropriate for small renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tumors; however, it is still difficult to detect high nuclear grade RCC preoperatively. // Although no specific tumor markers have been identified for RCC, immunosuppressive acidic protein (IAP) is a variable predictor of lymph node and distant metastasis in patients with RCC. At present...SNM recognizes exemplary contributors in nuclear medicine
