Another Look Finds Promising Proteomics Test is Not Biologically Plausible
In a new study, researchers present a “cautionary tale?about what may go wrong when using the fledgling science of proteomics to devise a diagnostic test for cancer. In the February 16 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center detail why an experimental test intended to identify early ovarian cancer from a...NYU researchers simulate molecular biological clock
For many years, DNA and proteins have beenviewed as the real movers and shakers in genomic studies, with RNA seenas little more than a messenger that shuttles information between thetwo. But researchers from Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Researchand Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered that smallRNA molecules called microRNAs regulate thousands of human genes--morethan...Automatic extraction of gene/protein biological functions from biomedical text
With the rapid advancement of biomedical science and the development of high-throughput analysis methods, the extraction of various types of information from biomedical text has become critical. Since automatic functional annotations of genes are quite useful for interpreting large amounts of high-throughput data efficiently, the demand for automatic extraction of information related to gene func...DuPont's first biologically derived polymer receives global recognition
DuPont's newest polymer innovation, the first DuPont polymer derived from a biological source, has been recognized by the China State Intellectual Property Office and China Central Television (CCTV) as "Most Visionary Innovation" at a recent award ceremony. will receive the 2005 "New Technologies in Re...Glow-in-the-dark zebrafish at UH hold keys to biological clocks
Using genetically altered zebrafish that glow in the dark, University of Houston researchers have found new tools that shed light upon biological clock cycles. Gregory M. Cahill, associate professor of biology and biochemistry at UH, and Maki Kaneko, a fellow UH researcher who is now at the University of California-San Diego, presented their findings in a paper titled "Light-dependent Dev...Chicken Anti-GST Polyclonal Antibody, Unconjugated from Novus Biologicals

Ambions magnetic bead-based MagMAX Viral RNA Isolation Kit is optimized for isolating viral RNA from biological fluids and cell-free samples such as serum, plasma, swabs, and cell culture media. RNA isolation from cell-free samples presents some unique challenges compared to RNA...Translate High Yields of Biologically Active Proteins
Cell-free translation systems are a convenient method for synthesizing proteins in vitro. The major advantages of these in vitro translation systems over conventional in vivo systems are greater flexibility, faster reaction times, and less...Translate More Protein with Higher Biological Activity
Fully compatible with eukaryotic protein translation Better yields and faster translation than traditional reticulocyte lysate systems Higher biological activit...Smallpox as Biological Weapons?
As biological weapons go, anthrax is nowhere as terrifying as several others, says Jim Matthews, an associate professor of pharmacy at Northeastern University. Smallpox would be a lot worse. The government now has about 15 million doses of smallpox vaccine on hand. Experiments are getting underway to see whether it can be diluted so it could be administered to more people, and still be effective....Hyperactivity disorder a biological malfunction
Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - ADHD - have underactive parts of the brain which deal with decision-making, thinking and planning. The abnormality was revealed by a magnetic scanning device// which enabled researchers to look at the brains of children without harming them from radioactivity. Eric Taylor, Professor of Child Psychiatry at the Medical Research Council, said...Biologicals Transfer Proposal between US and Indian Biotechnology
An agreement in principle to enable the smooth transfer of microorganisms and biological materials from the US to India is an encouraging sign for Indian bioscience. But slow implementation of the country’s broader biotech // goals, including India’s grandiose scheme to become the global hub of contract research and clinical trials, may threaten its goal of becoming a major player. Di...Novel Biological Pacemaker Under Construction for Weak Hearts
Johns Hopkins scientists have developed a natural or rather biological pacemaker by fusing connective tissue cells of guinea pigs with heart muscle cells. The newly developed pacemaker can fire on it’s own and regulate the rhythm // of the heart in a more physiological way. Two sets of tiny electroactive 'pacing cells' (SA node) give rise to the heart’s normal rhythm by stimulating oth...Biologically Women Are More Vulnerable To HIV Infection
UN experts reported that women in India are gradually becoming more susceptible to the HIV infection and they comprise about 40 percent of India’s infected population//. "Women are biologically more susceptible to HIV infection. Besides, gender disparities, lack of education and trafficking of women are making the situation worse," said Archana Tamang, chief of the women's human right...Class II Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinet
