New law for resolution allows unprecedented sharpness in fluorescence microscopy
Max Planck researchers have succeeded in overcoming the law postulated by Ernst Abbe in 1873 for diffraction limited resolution in light microscopes. Stefan Hell and his co-workers have established a new law that promises unlimited resolution in flu...High resolution 'snapshots' detail dynamics of a cocaine antibody
Cocaine-binding antibodies have shown some promise in their ability to neutralize cocaine toxicity, but their binding ability is severely impaired by high concentrations of the drug. A catalytic monoclonal antibody such as 7A1, on the other hand, has the ability to regenerate after each new dose of the drug, making it far more effective than others in metabolizing cocaine. The study, which...High-resolution light microscope reveals the fundamental mechanisms of nerve communication
In a simultaneous publication (Science Express, 13th April 2006), STED microscopy revealed the spatial distribution of the bruchpilot protein and aided neurobiologists from the European Neuroscience Institute and the University of Würzburgin understanding the protein's central role in the formation of active synaptic zones. STED microscopy radically distinguishes itself from conventional farfield...Recombination protein dynamics observed with single monomer resolution
Using a sensitive, single-molecule measurement technique, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have observed the life cycle of RecA, a protein that plays a major role in repairing damaged DNA. RecA is a DN...With record resolution and sensitivity, tool images how life organizes in a cell membrane
What's the difference between a lifeless sack of chemicals and a living cell? It's all in the way they're organized, according to Stanford biophysical chemist Steven Boxer. With colleagues at Stanford, the University of California-Davis and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, he has developed a way to image cell membranes with unprecedented resolution-on the order of 100 nanometers, a scale l...High resolution DNA analysis with the DNA 500 and DNA 1000 LabChip kits
Slab gel analysis is the traditionaltechnique used for DNA analysis.By comparing the separated bandsof an unknown sample to a knownstandard (size or mass ladder), thesize and quantitation of each fragmentcan be estimated. The Agilent2100 bioanalyzer is an instr...Brazil & Kenya Seek Support For A New Resolution At WHO’s Annual Mee
The World Health Assembly (WHO), begins its annual meeting on Monday with delegations from more than 190 countries will meet in Geneva from May 22nd to the 27th//. Brazil and Kenya have announced plans earlier this week to put pressure at the WHO assembly, for more funds to combat neglected diseases, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Kenya and Brazil are planning to introd...Appeals Against The New Resolution By NICE Increases
Pfizer Inc, Eisai Co. Ltd, charity organizations, The Alzheimer's Society, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) and Age Concern will appeal have lodged// an appeal on Friday against a British watchdog's decision to restrict access to Alzheimer's drugs. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) declared earlier that the drugs were flawed. NICE recommended that Aric...High Resolution CT Accurately Diagnoses Shin Splints
High resolution CT can accurately show medial tibial stress syndrome, better known as shin splints, in distance runners according, to a study conducted// at the University of Messina in Messina, Italy. According to the study, medial tibial stress syndrome is one of many overuse lower leg injuries that may be found in athletes and accounts for between 13.2% and 17.3% of all running inj...Planning for Good Health Resolutions
Forward planning is the key to keeping new year’s resolutions to achieve improved health and happiness, //AMA Vice President, Dr Choong-Siew Yong, said today. “The new year is a great time to make a fresh start and resolve to improve your health and fitness,” Dr Yong said. “Aim to keep your resolutions by planning ahead. “For instance, if you plan to quit smokin...Model 430 Visible Spectrophotometer High Resolution
