New, automated tool successfully classifies and relates proteins in unprecedented way
For the first time, researchers haveautomatically grouped fluorescently tagged proteins fromhigh-resolution images of cells. This technical feat opens a new way toidentify disease proteins and drug targets by helping to show whichproteins cluster together inside a cell.The approach, developed by Carnegie Mellon University, outperformsexisting visual methods to localize proteins inside cells...Biomarkers isolated from saliva successfully predict oral and breast cancer
Screening for breast cancer and the early detection of other tumors one day may be as simple as spitting into a collection tube or cup, according to recent studies by UCLA researchers. In one early study based on a risk model, presented here at the 96th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, the UCLA scientists reported that genetic "biomarkers" isolated in saliva...Building a protein name dictionary from full text: a machine learning term extraction approach
The majority of information in the biological literature resides in full text articles, instead of abstracts. Yet, abstracts remain the focus of many publicly available literature data mining tools. Most literature mining tools rely on pre-existing lexicons of biological names, often extracted from curated gene or protein databases. This is a limitation, because such databases have low coverage o...UN successfully tests 'green' pesticide against locusts
A new method for manipulating macromolecules has been developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The technique uses double-stranded DNA to direct the behavior of other molecules. In previous DNA nanotechnology efforts, duplex DNA has been used as a static lattice to construct geometrical objects in three dimensions. Instead of manipulating DNA alone into s...Candida albicans Genome Fully Annotated
Circulating stem cells play a minor role in repairing lung damage, according to a team of scientists who used male and female chromosomal differences to analyze the repair process in lung transplant patients. Reporting in today's edition of the journal Transplantation, lead author Dani Zander, M.D., of The University of Texas Medical School at Houston, and colleagues at the University of F...Full-Configuration Camera Link NI PCIe-1429 from National Instruments Corporation

The phrase full service used to mean a gas station where attendants would fill your tank, check your fluids, and clean your windshield. Today, it means that a bank provides you with a wide range of alternatives to seeing a local teller things like Internet banking, ATM card cards, and telephone-driven interactive voice response (IVR) systems. Weve entered the decade of self-service. C...Endangered species may be successfully cloned in another animal's womb
Scientists for the first time have found a way for the survival of endangered animal species of the world. In a major breakthrough a Massachusetts scientists who engineered the feat has managed to clone cells from an endangered animal (Asian Gaur) and successfully impregnated an Iowa cow with the clone. The scientific journal Cloning has reported in its upcoming edition that...Full time workers are less health conscious than part time workers
Full time employees may be less health conscious and may be spending less time daily in exercise than part time //workers. New research suggests that working full time leads to a sedentary life style that may be harmful in the long term. People who work full time have less time for leisure, which is generally spend in watching television, play video games or sit in front of the compute...AIDS bias successfully overcome by Indian Muslims in South Africa
Indian Muslims in South Africa who displayed stigmatization and discrimination against AIDS victims, are now becoming open minded about supporting HIV/AIDS patients despite their traditional religious beliefs. // This was clear when a number of Muslim organisations joined the local branch of the Muslim AIDS Programme (MAP), an NGO operating countrywide, to host an AIDS awareness day h...French Doctors Successfully Separate Twins Joined At Spine
Doctors in France have successfully operated on 15-month-old twins Mohamed and Souleymane, who were joined at the level of the spine.
