Fish species plays surprise role in aiding coral reef recovery
In a study that marks progress in understanding the basis of coral reef recovery, researchers have revealed the critical importance of a rare batfish, Platax pinnatus, in promoting the return to health of a disturbed coral reef overgrown with algae. The findings bring to light a previously unrecognized role for the batfish species, which had not been considered a significant player in reef recove...New nanotechnology able to examine single molecules, aiding in determining gene expression
A new nanotechnology that can examine single molecules in order to determine gene expression, paving the way for scientists to more accurately examine single cancer cells, has been developed by an interdisciplinary team of researchers at UCLA's California Nanosystems Institute (CNSI), New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and Veeco Instruments, a nanotechnology compan...Hemangioblasts Aiding Eye Damage Repair
Massachusetts-based company Advanced Cell Technology, is obviously thrilled with their landmark discovery of hemangioblasts or stem cells that repair arteries and regenerate blood. According to the company,the stem cells made from human embryos can proceed on to hearts and arteries of mice and rats, and appear to start repairs.ACT claims to have devised a straightforward way...
