'No muss, no fuss' miniaturized analysis for complex samples developed
The goal of an integrated, miniaturized laboratory analysis system, also known as a "lab-on-a-chip," is simple: sample in, answer out. view more (2009-11-18)
New insect on Balearic Islands
After 10 years of biochemical and molecular analysis of the Tyrrhenoleuctra plecoptera that live in the Western Mediterranean, Spanish and Italian scientists have now demonstrated that one of the insect populations of this group is a distinct and, therefore, new species. view more (2009-07-16)
Protein analysis methods, viral vectors featured in Cold Spring Harbor Protocols
Many proteins do not function by themselves as stand-alone units. Instead, multiple proteins associate to form larger structures called protein complexes. view more (2009-05-05)
GEN reports on growing reliance on microfluidics technology
Biotechnology companies are building on what they have learned about microfluidics techniques over the past decade and are expected to drive this market toward $1.9 billion in three years, reports Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News. view more (2009-01-23)
Simple new method detects contaminants in life-saving drug
The blood-thinning drug heparin is highly effective when used to prevent and treat blood clots in veins, arteries and lungs, but earlier this year its reputation as a lifesaver was sullied when contaminated heparin products caused serious allergic reactions that led to a large number of deaths. view more (2008-11-18)
Changes in urine could lead to BSE test for live animals
Researchers have demonstrated that protein levels in urine samples can indicate both the presence and progress of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) disease in cattle. view more (2008-09-08)
An ancient protein balances gene activity and silences foreign DNA in bacteria
Compared to humans, bacteria have a much tidier genome. The tiny microorganisms pack their genes closely together, and don't carry around a lot of extraneous DNA, so-called junk DNA that fills in the gaps between genes. view more (2008-05-16)
DNA fingerprinting simplified
Agarose gel electrophoresis" Most teenagers wouldn't have a clue what this scientific term means, but middle school student Andrew Trigiano knows the protocol inside and out. When Andrew was 12, his father Robert Trigiano, a professor at the University of Tennessee, was looking for an interesting science project for his son. view more (2008-05-14)
Fast way of spotting multidrug resistant bacteria could help stop outbreaks in hospitals
A type of bacterium widely found on our skin and in the environment has now become a major threat in hospitals where it can cause serious infections, such as pneumonia in severely ill patients. view more (2007-11-28)
New test could help consumers avoid surprise headaches from chocolate, wine
Researchers in California are reporting development of a fast, inexpensive test suitable for home use that could help millions of people avoid those 'out of the blue' headaches that may follow consumption of certain red wines, cheese, chocolate, and other aged or fermented foods. view more (2007-10-02)
A search for biomarkers for early detection of colorectal cancer
Researchers at the Zhejiang University, Hangzhou have discovered that mimecan and Thioredoxin Domain-Containing Protein 5 (TXNDC5) were differentially expressed in colorectal adenoma. view more (2007-09-25)
Alternative methods proposed to detect pesticides and antibiotics in water and natural food
Water or food of natural origins (from plants or animals) that we consume on a daily basis can contain unwanted 'supplies' for our organism, such as pesticides or antibiotics. view more (2007-09-19)
Where Broken DNA is Repaired
Ionizing radiation, toxic chemicals, and other agents continually damage the body's DNA, threatening life and health: unrepaired DNA can lead to mutations, which in turn can lead to diseases like cancer. view more (2007-08-03)
MIT's molecular sieve advances protein research
New MIT technology promises to speed up the accurate sorting of proteins, work that may ultimately aid in the detection and treatment of disease. view more (2006-09-14)
Chronic Alcohol Exposure Can Affect Brain Protein Expression
Researchers at the University at Buffalo studying the effects of alcohol on the brain, using zebrafish as a model, have identified several novel central nervous system proteins that are affected by chronic alcohol exposure. view more (2006-08-30)
Study links high levels of nitric oxide to infertility and sperm DNA damage
Iranian scientists have linked a chemical that plays an essential role in many bodily functions to sperm DNA damage and male infertility. view more (2006-06-19)
ORNL, Protein Discovery researchers collaborate on high-profile paper
A paper that outlines a new method to use a beam of light to trap protein molecules and make them dance in space has earned a place in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Early Edition. view more (2006-04-13)
New gene scanning technology marks a major advance in disease research
Gene scanning techniques developed by Professor Ian Day and colleagues at the University of Southampton are set to have a major impact on healthcare in the future. view more (2005-07-07)
Scientists construct a physical map of the Drosophila buzzatii genome
An international team of researchers led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Professor Alfredo Ruiz, has launched in this month's issue of the journal Genome Research the first detailed physical map of the Drosophila buzzatii chromosomes. view more (2005-06-30)
