Researchers learn how blood vessel cells cope with their pressure-packed job
UCSD scientists have gained a better understanding of how repetitive stretching of endothelial cells that line arteries can make them healthy and resistant to vascular diseases. UCSD researchers stretched cells in a workout chamber the size of a credit card to gain a better understanding of how repetitive stretching of endothelial cells that line arteries can make them healthy and resista...DNA ends: Common tool, different job
Every time a cell repairs or replicates its DNA, the resulting single strand is wrapped up by a dedicated protein complex. In eukaryotes or organisms whose cells have a nucleus, this job is handled by a tripartite complex called replication protein A (RPA). Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have now unearthed a novel RPA-like complex that specifically homes in on the short...Protein 295 ex from HORIBA Jobin Yvon
Description:HORIBA Jobin Yvons Protein 295 ex can measure three fluorescence lifetimespicoseconds to secondsfrom a protein sample in only a few minutes. To match the absorption maxima of the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan, the Protein 295 exs excitation source is the powerful NanoLED-17, a pulsed diode emitting 295 nm. Fluorescence of tryptophan is widely used as a probe of protein structure and dynamic...TCSPC Confocal Microscope from HORIBA Jobin Yvon
Description:Time-resolved microscopy is the ultimate tool for investigating dynamic events in cells and subcellular structures. Its applications previously have been limited at wavelengths longer than 370 nm because microscope optics do not transmit in the deep UV. HORIBA Jobin Yvon, the leader in fluorescence spectroscopy, introduces a filter-based confocal system (the DynaMic) to measure fluorescence lifet...AT&T tech rollout will bring 200 jobs to Milwaukee

A new study finds those who have mentally demanding jobs may decrease their risk of Alzheimer’s disease.// For the study, researchers examined 122 people with Alzheimer’s disease and 235 healthy individuals. The participants were questioned about their occupational history from their 20s through their 50s. The information gathered included the type of job, length of job, and most import...Supportive spouse help ease job strain on blood pressure
When job strain causes stress, a supportive spouse might help lower the negative impact on a person's blood pressure, according to a study. In addition it was found that job strain had a significant impact, both clinically and statistically, on blood pressure. // Job strain and low marital cohesion, or a lack of support from a spouse, was related to an increase of systolic 2.8 mmHg of...Sexes differ in response to burnout on the job and depression
A recent study that has been conducted to understand how the sexes differ in stress management reveals that men and women differ in their inflammatory reactions to work-related burnout and depression.// With this in mind, different strategies would have to be devised to enable stress management in either sex. It has also been shown that work-related burnout can lead to inflammatory proce...Children’s Stress Levels Directly Related To Maternal Job Satisfaction
A study conducted on nearly 50 nursery school children has revealed that mothers with lower job satisfaction tend to carry it on to their children as well, //resulting in elevated stress levels. The levels of cortisol, stress hormones were considerably higher amongst the group of children studied. More specifically, levels of cortisol in these children were greater than twice the norm...Tainted doctor refused Saskatoon job
A doctor whose name was associated with several alleged miscarriages of justice has been denied a job in Saskatoon.// This decision has been hailed as one to preserve public confidence and trust in the province's health system.The health officials in Saskatchewan have voted to curtail practicing privileges to former Hospital for Sick Children pathologist Dr. Charles Smith....
