Cytoplasm affects the number of vertebrae in carp-goldfish clones

The March 2005 issue of Biology of Reproduction contains a report of some intriguing findings in cloned offspring created when nuclei from one genus of fish were transplanted to enucleated eggs of another genus of fish. The seven offspring, cloned from nuclei of common carp and egg cytoplasm of goldfish, were virtually identical to the nuclear donor species, Cyprinus carpio, in appearance...

Purdue's gold nanorods brighten future for medical imaging

Researchers at Purdue University have taken a step toward developing a new type of ultra-sensitive medical imaging technique that works by shining a laser through the skin to detect tiny gold nanorods injected into the bloodstream. In tests with mice, the nanorods yielded images nearly 60 times brighter than conventional fluorescent dyes, including rhodamine, commonly used for a wide range...

Stanford/Packard scientist's data-mining technique strikes genetic gold

A new method to mine existing scientific data may provide a wealth of information about the interactions among genes, the environment and biological processes, say researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Like panning for gold, they used the powerful technique to sift through millions of bits of unrelated information...

Mystery solved: Gold's power against autoimmune diseases defined

Gold compounds have been used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases for more than 75 years, but until now, how the metals work has been a mystery. Harvard Medical School researchers report in the Feb. 27 issue of Nature Chemical Biology that special forms of gold, platinum, and other classes of medicinal metals work by stripping bacteria and virus particles from...

AmpliTaq Gold DNA Polymerase from Applied Biosystems

Description:AmpliTaq Gold® DNA Polymerase is a chemically modified form of AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase. When the chemical moiety is attached to the enzyme, the enzyme is inactive. During set-up and the first ramp of thermal cycling (when the reaction is going through non-optimal annealing temperatures), the enzyme is inactive. The result is that mis-primed primers are not extended. Once the reaction rea...

Gold to be used for cancer detection

Gold nanoparticles may be used to detect cancer, says a new study that is// published in the journal Nano Letters. The father and son research team had been able to bind the gold nanoparticles to the antibodies for cancer cells, a process that will make the tracing of cancer cells much easier. Often cancer cells have a protein called epidermal growth factor receptor (EFGR) o...

Cultivating gold on a fig tree

Money may not grow on trees, but gold can. In a remarkable experiment, Indian scientists have developed a form of gold using a micro-organism from a fig tree as the 'factory'. But before rushing to try cultivating fig trees and converting the gold into ornaments, here is a word of caution : The scientists have been able to use the micro- organism to churn out gold nanoparticles 8,000 time...

Old is gold– proved yet another tim

Chloroquine, an antimalarial drug was highly successful in combating the disease when launched in the 1950s.// It soon became useless because of resistance being developed by the malarial parasite. Scientists have found a way to breathe new life into the drug. It has been found that combining the drug with another preparation, Primaquine, would restore the effect of the original drug.<...
