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...Unprecedented water level rise in Somalia

Research conducted at the Methodist DeBakey Heart Center in Houston shows that a combination statin therapy lowers bad cholesterol by an unprecedented// 70 percent, and has the added benefit of reducing life-threatening inflammation that can lead to heart disease and stroke. The results published this week in the American Journal of Cardiology, also show 46 percent reduction in C-reac...Precedent Revision Hip Stem - HA Coated
