Automatic extraction of gene/protein biological functions from biomedical text
With the rapid advancement of biomedical science and the development of high-throughput analysis methods, the extraction of various types of information from biomedical text has become critical. Since automatic functional annotations of genes are quite useful for interpreting large amounts of high-throughput data efficiently, the demand for automatic extraction of information related to gene func...Vital step in cellular migration described by UCSD medical researchers
A vital molecular step in cell migration, the movement of cells within the body during growth, tissue repair and the body's immune response to invading pathogens, has been demonstrated by researchers in the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine. Published in the March 27 online edition of Nature Cell Biology and the journal's upcoming April print edition, the study describ...Medical molecules designed to respond to visible light that can penetrate tissue
If you have ever covered a flashlight with your hand and seen the red light that still comes through, then you have seen light in the therapeutic window ?that magic wavelength that is not absorbed or reflected away by tissue. Scientists believe that they can use light at that wavelength to signal manmade molecules to release drugs at disease sites in the body. Such possibilities will be d...DNAscope AT from Biomedical Photometrics Inc.
