Nonlinear Dynamics announces more details of its global partnership with PerkinElmer
Nonlinear Dynamics Ltd, a leading provider of bioinformatics solutions, today announced further details of its global OEM partnership with PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE: PKI), a leading provider of drug discovery, life science research and analytical solutions. As detailed in a press release issued last week, PerkinElmer will distribute Nonlinear's full range of 1D, 2D and array software. Howeve...Researcher uncovers details of how cancer spreads
When cancer spreads, people often die. That's why a lot of cancer research and drugs focus on the metabolic pathways that allow cancer to metastasize -- to spread from one part of the body to another. Cornell University researchers have now furthered understanding of how these pathways work. Their insights might aid future research on drug therapies that disrupt the sequence of events tha...Defective immune system response to smallpox vaccine detailed in new study
Scientists supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have identified a defect in the immune response of people with the skin condition atopic dermatitis that puts them at risk of developing serious complications following smallpox vaccination. Led by Donald Y.M. Leung, M.D., Ph.D., of the National Jewish Medica...Research details how a virus hijacks cell signals to cause infection
A common virus that causes meningitis and heart inflammation takes a "back door" approach to evade natural barriers, then exploits biological signals to infect human cells. Broadening knowledge of how viruses cause infection, a new study describes elaborate methods that the virus has evolved to bypass the body's defenses. "This study helps to explain how group B coxsackieviruses infect cel...High resolution 'snapshots' detail dynamics of a cocaine antibody
Cocaine-binding antibodies have shown some promise in their ability to neutralize cocaine toxicity, but their binding ability is severely impaired by high concentrations of the drug. A catalytic monoclonal antibody such as 7A1, on the other hand, has the ability to regenerate after each new dose of the drug, making it far more effective than others in metabolizing cocaine. The study, which...Madison-area high-tech directory details 394 firms
MG&E has released its 2005 Greater Madison Area Directory of High Tech Companies, a desk reference to 394 area firms. WTN's Mike Klein takes you inside this valuable resource for anyone doing business in Wisconsin. <a href="http://www.wistechnology.com/article....Details Of Heart Failure Discovered
Canadian researchers have found out how the heart fails, and hope that this may make it easier to treat //the condition. The researchers have worked to find out how the metabolic pathways differentiate in healthy versus failing hearts. They had found that in the early stages of heart failure, the heart uses too much fatty acid and not enough carbohydrate; and then, later, it doesn't us...Details of Cosmetic Surgery in a Special Website.
Cosmetic surgery is a burgeoning field and people now a days need to be aware of the various options available. Hence a website which gives exclusive information about //cosmetic surgery and the associated treatments is loaded in the net. The Department of Health says this website will provide details about the risks and the possible outcomes. At present cosmetic surgery is no...A Detail Analysis of Head and Neck Cancer
The discovery of the molecular mechanism behind the aggressive head and neck cancer was unveiled by the researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC). // It is a highly malignant form of cancer with a very high death rate. They have discovered the triple interaction between CD44, hyaluronan (HA), and LARG. CD44 is a surface receptor molecule that plays an important role in...Autoimmune disorders studied in detail by U-M researchers.
University of Michigan researchers have been able to zero in (on) the modalities of a drug, capable of rectifying autoimmune disorders and other types of diseases. // Clinical trials on animal models have revealed the capacity of the drug to reduce the potency of a key enzyme, in charge of energy production. 'Many drugs block the function of enzymes, essentially turning them off,' sai...Fat metabolism in fish to be studied in detail
Canterbury University researcher Dr Victoria Metcalf is out to delve into the Antarctic seas for some answers about fish. Metcalf will use the genetic filter technology// to understand how fish actually metabolize fat. This study will aid in the understanding of the existing connection between fat metabolism and heart disease. According to Metcalf, Antarctic fish metabolize fat for fu...
