Determining The Fate Of Cells In The Human Body
A study in the April issue (currently available online) of Nature Genetics establishes a model that may take scientists closer to understanding how cells in the human body determine their own fate. Researchers, led by Anthony Firulli, Ph.D., associate professor of pediatrics and of medical and molecular genetics at the Indiana University School of Medicine, investigated the interaction of...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...Determining the Signal-to-Noise Ratio and Optimal Photomultiplier gain setting in the GenePix 4000B

A recent study conducted on the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) has found out that nearly all cases are associated with an increase in testosterone levels. Testosterone is a male sex hormone. //The levels are considerably higher in infants who have died suddenly from SIDS than in infants who have died suddenly from other causes. Researchers from the University of Washington compared...Lifestyle plays an important role in determining one’s ag
Looking young is a very important factor. People feel good when they are complimented on their age. It is said that one looks young if they have a happy married // life with loads of money minus the worries. It is bad news for those who are skinny and those who smoke and drink heavily. This study mainly aims in understanding the relationship between the effects of lifestyle, medical h...Determining the Sex of the Baby in Wild West Way
Today by spending just $ 200 you can determine the sex of the baby in just eight weeks into pregnancy . There are countless companies offering sex determination tests in the market today but experts But experts are not only skeptical about the accuracy of such tests, they are also worried about the possible adverse psychological impact on parents. Jolene Sodano had two sons and wanted h...Genes Play Major Role in Determining Individual's Sour Taste Perception
Scientists at the Monell Chemical Senses Center have revealed that genes play a large role in determining individual differences in sour taste perception. The findings may help researchers identify the still-elusive taste receptor that detects sourness in foods and beverages, just as recent gene studies helped uncover receptors for sweet and bitter taste. Scientists...
