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...Unprecedented water level rise in Somalia
In East Africa, where days of heavy rains and flooding have led to numerous deaths and entire villages being wiped out, locals are reporting an unprecedented rise in Somalia's Shabelle River and that a major water surge may be headed into the centre of the country, the United Nations said today. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), reports yesterd...New law for resolution allows unprecedented sharpness in fluorescence microscopy
Max Planck researchers have succeeded in overcoming the law postulated by Ernst Abbe in 1873 for diffraction limited resolution in light microscopes. Stefan Hell and his co-workers have established a new law that promises unlimited resolution in flu...Statin Therapy Cuts Bad Cholesterol Unprecedented 70 Percent
Research conducted at the Methodist DeBakey Heart Center in Houston shows that a combination statin therapy lowers bad cholesterol by an unprecedented// 70 percent, and has the added benefit of reducing life-threatening inflammation that can lead to heart disease and stroke. The results published this week in the American Journal of Cardiology, also show 46 percent reduction in C-reac...
