MIT engineers an anti-cancer smart bomb

Imagine a cancer drug that can burrow into a tumor, seal the exits and detonate a lethal dose of anti-cancer toxins, all while leaving healthy cells unscathed. The dual-chamber, double-acting, drug-packing "nanocell" proved effective and safe, with prolonged survival, against two distinct forms of cancers--melanoma and L...

University of Delaware researchers develop cancer 'nanobomb'

University of Delaware researchers are opening a new front in the war on cancer, bringing to bear new nanotechnologies for cancer detection and treatment and introducing a unique nanobomb that can literally blow up breast cancer tumors. Balaji Panchapakesan, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at UD, has recently reported on the discoveries in the journals NanoBiote...

Siberian lakes burp 'time-bomb' greenhouse gas

Frozen bubbles in Siberian lakes are releasing methane, a greenhouse gas, at rates that appear to be "... five times higher than previously estimated" and acting as a positive feedback to climate warming, said Katey Walter, in a paper published today in the journal Nature. Walter's project is the first time this type of bubbling has been accurately quantified. "We realized that our previou...

Using the VersaFluor Fluorometer to Quantitate GUS Expression in Plant Tissues Bombarded With the Biolistic PDS-1000/He System

Nicholas N. Lyssenko and Mark L. Tucker, Soybean and Alfalfa Research Lab,USDA, ARS, Bldg. 006, BARC-West, Beltsville, MD, USA 20705 In 1987 Jefferson et al. described the use of β-glucuronidase (GUS) as a marker to study gene expression in plants. Expression of GUS activity in plant tissu...

Detection of Reporter Gene Activity in Cell Cultures and Murine Epidermis After Helios Gene Gun-Mediated Particle Bombardment

Andreas Henke and Eunike Grohmann, Institute of Virology, Medical Center,Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Winzerlaer Str. 10, 07745 Jena, Germany The Helios gene gun-mediated DNA transfer can be usedas a fast and efficient method to transfect living cells. Inthis study we describe the preparation of DNA-coatedmicroc...

Transformation of Filamentous Fungi by Microprojectile Bombardment

Roland W. Herzog, Molecular Genetics Program, Department ofBotany and Microbiology, 101 Life Sciences Building, AuburnUniversity, AL 36849-5407, USA The vast majority of transformation protocols for filamentous fungi are based on permeabilizing cell membranes with polyethylene glycol (PEG) or...

Lack of connectivity is real estate's hidden time bomb

When it comes to real estate acquisitions, many smart investors have turned to taking their money from the stock market and have invested it into REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts). Some of these groups have provided 20 to 50 percent returns to their investors. These are great returns on investment, but are there any hidden time bombs lurking behind the marble fa...

Identity theft: The business time bomb

Most everyone has heard of identity theft (IDT), yet unless you have been a victim, few people consider that they are at high risk.

All entities and certain individuals are required under one or mo...

An Anti-cancer Smart Bomb delivered using a Nanocell

A nanocell that can work like a smart bomb for cancer treatment is to be reported in Nature by MIT. The nanocell will work by penetrating into the tumor, seal the opening and then deliver the lethal dose of anti-cancer toxins like a ‘stealth bimb’.// This will leave the healthy cells unharmed. The experiments currently done on mice cancer like melanoma and lung cancer have the po...

Microscopic Nanobombs Blow Apart Breast Cancer Cells

Researchers at the University of Delaware have developed a unique nanobomb that can be used to detect and blow apart cancer cells, more specifically breast cancer cells//. This latest attack on cancer has been detailed in the journals NanoBiotechnology and Oncology Issues by Balaji Panchapakesan, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at UD. The report says that the n...

Bombings in Japan have left Indelible Health Impression

New research has showed that even though it is 60 years since atomic bombs fell on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, survivors are still facing the effects of the onslaught.// The studies have shown how survivors continue to develop thyroid nodules, sometime benign and at other times cancerous, that is commensurate with the amount of exposure to radiation. It has also been...
