Researchers find how protein allows insects to detect and respond to pheromones
University of Washington TechTransferrecently licensed software that will give scientists a huge advantagein the fight against disease.The software, known as Rosetta, predicts how proteins fold, informationthat is highly valuable to biological and biomedical researchers.UW Tech Transfer's Digital Ventures licensed Rosetta software withoutcharge to the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB), a...Spider Venom Could Yield Eco-Friendly Insecticides
Biochemist Glenn King is searching for an alternative to chemical pesticides. King's research on insect-specific neurotoxins focuses on one the world's most efficient insect predators -- spiders. The Blue Mountains funnel-web spider (Hadronyche versuta) -- a large Australian spider with a bite that is deadly to humans and insects -- is an ideal source of venom for King's research. The spider "coo...Experiments provide proof of how traveling in groups protects insects
Few events involving animals are more dramatic than when they band together and head out on the march cross-country. Among examples are the many thousands of wildebeests and other hoofed mammals that form herds and migrate across the African plains. and young locusts also sometimes unite with their...Experiments provide proof of how traveling in groups protects insects

To avoid damage from too much oxygen, say researchers
A new study investigating the respiratory system of insects may have solved a mystery that has intrigued physiologists for decades: why insects routinely stop breathing for minutes at a time. Challenging previous theories, researchers at UC Irvine and Humboldt University propose that insects such as grasshoppers, moths, butterflies, some types of fruit flies, beetles and bugs close off th...Schneider's Drosophila - Insect medium from AppliChem GmbH

Description:A number of modifications of Grace's medium were developed in several laboratories in the late 1960's and 1970's. Many of these modifications were developed by Dr. W.F. Hink for the growth of cells derived from the cabbage looper,Tricoplusia ni. This formula represents the modification known as TNM-FH. The medium when properly supplemented has been found to support the growth of cells derived fro...Identification of Insecticides and Herbicides by LC/MS/MS Using the API 2000 LC/MS/MS System

The modularBioFlo 110 is offered with a variety of vessels, impellersand control modules to enable growth of a wide varietyof cultures,...Leukaemia May Be Triggered By Insecticides
A research conducted by French doctors has revealed that those children who are exposed to head lice shampoos and insecticides run a higher chance of contracting childhood leukaemia. The Occupational and Environmental Medicine journal //has published this report. The study has cautioned against exposing children to mosquito repellents also. The France based Inserm had conducted the st...Health of Mothers and Children Show Improvement after Use of Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets
The ill-effects of mosquito bites on the health of people living in Africa is well known, and a recent study into this, has shown the positive impact on health// of women and children, including expectant mothers, when they chose to sleep under the insecticide-treated nets. Infact expectant mothers are more likely to deliver healthy babies, if adequate protection against mosquito bites is enabled...Insect Bites Among Children Do Not Warrant Medical Attention In Most Cases
A new study that has thrown light on allergic reactions in children has revealed that, only a small fraction of children who get bitten by insects are in need of medical treatment at hospitals // , while others do not display any adverse allergic symptoms. The study, entitled “Allergic reactions to insect stings: Results from a national survey of 10,000 junior high school children in Israel” ca...Clothes Treated with Insecticide Reduces the Risk of Malarial Infection
Wearing clothes treated with the common insecticide permethrin can reduce the chances of malarial infection by 70 percent, says a new study.// The conclusion was arrived at after Elizabeth Kimani of the African Population and Health Research Center in Nairobi and other researchers studied Somalian refugees living in camps in Kenya. The average household size in Kenya is 4....Insect Protein Effective for Treating Heart Enlargement, Arrythmias
Compounds known to play an important role in how insects develop from larvae to adults have been shown in a mouse model for congestive heart failure// to be effective in preventing and reducing cardiac cell overgrowth and irregular heart rhythms, according to UC Davis research published in the early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research, le...Stereo Insect and Random Dot Polarized tests
