Needling Chromosomes Reveals Cell Division Secret
By impaling individual chromosomes with glassneedles one thousandth the diameter of a human hair, a Duke Universitygraduate student has tested their "stickiness" to one another duringcell division. Her uncanny surgical skills have added a piece to thelarge and intricate puzzle of how one cell divides into two -- aprocess fundamental to all organisms.In the Dec. 14, 2004, issue of Current Bi...Devising Nano Vision for an Optical Microscope
Contrary to conventional wisdom, technology’s advance into the vanishingly small realm of molecules and atoms may not be out of sight for the venerable optical microscope, after all. In fact, research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) suggests that a hybrid version of the optical microscope might be able to image and measure features smaller than 10 nanometers—a tiny fr...Ophthalmologists Use Artificial Silicon Retina Microchip To Treat Vision Loss
Ophthalmologists at Rush University Medical Center implanted Artificial Silicon Retina (ASR) microchips in the eyes of five patients to treat vision loss caused by retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The implant is a silicon microchip 2mm in diameter and one-thousandth of an inch thick, less than the thickness of a human hair. Four patients had surgery Tuesday, January 25. The fifth patient is sch...Key mechanism in genetic inheritance during cell division identified
A key mechanism in the passing of genetic material from a parent cell to daughter cells appears to have been identified by a team of Berkeley researchers. Their study may explain how a complex of proteins, called kinetochores, can recognize and stay attached to microtubules, hollow fibers in the walls of biological cells that are responsible for the faithful segregation of chromosomes during cell...Migratory songbirds have a specialized night-vision brain area
Neurobiologists have discovered a specialized night-vision brain area in night-migratory songbirds. They believe the area might enable the birds to navigate by the stars, and to visually detect the earth's magnetic field through photoreceptor molecules, whose light-sensitivity is modulated by the field. The researchers published their findings May 23, 2005, in the early online edition of t...Anti-Cullin-3 (CUL-3) Ab-1 Polyclonal Antibody, Unconjugated from Lab Vision
Description:CUL-3 is a member of the family of human cullin genes (CUL-1, -2, -3, -4a, -4b, and -5), homologous to the S. cerevisiae cdc53 gene. Cullin-3 is proposed to be a part of E3 protein-ubiqutinnn ligase. It forms a tight complex with cyclin E and targets it for ubiquitination, which leads to its degradation by protesomes. Cyclin E is an activator of cdk2, which leads the cell to S phase. Cul-3-/- mic...Anti-Heat Shock Protein 75 (hsp75) (TRAP-1) Ab-2 Monoclonal Antibody, Unconjugated from Lab Vision
Description:A wide variety of environmental and pathophysiological stressful conditions trigger the synthesis of a family of proteins known as heat shock proteins (HSPs), more appropriately called as stress response proteins (SRPs). The Hsp90 family of proteins in mammalian cells consists of Hsp90 alpha and beta, Grp94, and Trap-1 (Hsp75). It was found that human TRAP-1 is localized to mitochondria and exhi...Rabbit Anti-ABIN-2 Polyclonal Antibody, Unconjugated from BioVision

Description:This antibody is specific for human cardiac troponin subunit T, a 31kDa protein involved in transmitting the Ca-binding signals responsible for contraction of cardiac muscle. It reacts with subunit T of the troponin complex in human cells. It also cross-reacts with human skeletal troponin T (23.2% by ELISA). This antibody is suita...HSVision Molecular Beacon Detection Module Rapidly Detects Herpes Simplex Virus DNA

The balance of fats and oils in your diet can affect your vision, according to a new study. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a currently untreatable disease of the eye causing fuzziness, shadows and severe visual impairment. As the name suggests, it gets worse with age and diet has been implicated in its development. // Researchers at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary c...Watching television for long hours could lead to agressiveness
Researchers claim that children who watch television for long hours are more likely to be agitated.The research was carried out by Jeffrey Johnson, of Columbia University// and the New York State Psychiatric Institute. His team tracked more than 700 children through adolescence to adulthood. They found that those who had watched one or more hours of television a day appeared much more...Body mass index guide needs revision
Based on a research on aborigines in solitary parts of Australia suggest that the healthy limit on body mass index might be lower than previously thought. The body mass index (BMI) is calculated by dividing your mass in kilograms by your height in metres, squared.// Till now a BMI between 20-25 was considered to be the healthy range, while 25 to 30 is overweight, and over 30, obese.
