NIST calculations may improve temperature measures for microfluidics
If you wanted to know if your child had a fever or be certain that the roast in the oven was thoroughly cooked, you would, of course, use a thermometer that you trusted to give accurate readings at any temperature within its range. view more (2009-09-10)
Destroying amyloid proteins with lasers
Researchers have found that a technique used to visualize amyloid fibers in the laboratory might have the potential to destroy them in the clinic. view more (2009-01-08)
New imaging approach promises insights into multiple sclerosis
Researchers have developed a way to use three types of microscopic imaging techniques simultaneously to analyze living tissue and learn more about the molecular mechanisms of multiple sclerosis, information that could help lead to earlier detection and new treatments. view more (2007-04-18)
Centromeres cross over, a lot
Recombination at centromeres is higher than anywhere else on the chromosome, even though methyltransferases do their best to prevent it, say Jaco et al., as published in the June 16 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology. view more (2008-06-13)
Together, biological membranes prevail
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a novel method to visualize the fusion of biological membranes at the single-event resolution. view more (2007-01-29)
UF, Columbia scientists closer to new cancer detection method
University of Florida researchers say they are a step closer to a technique to easily detect a wide variety of cancers before symptoms become apparent. view more (2005-11-30)
Innate immune system targets asthma-linked fungus for destruction
A new study shows that the innate immune system of humans is capable of killing a fungus linked to airway inflammation, chronic rhinosinusitis and bronchial asthma. view more (2008-09-03)
Sheffield scientists light up bacteria
Researchers from the University of Sheffield have received joint funding from the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to develop an innovative sensor to detect bacteria. view more (2007-03-13)
Gene patenting -- steep cost for health care and patients
The drug trastuzumab (Herceptin) is used to treat HER2-positive breast cancer (a type of breast cancer that overexpresses the HER2 gene and accounts for about 25% of all breast cancers). view more (2007-05-08)
The sound of light: Innovative technology shatters the barriers of modern light microscopy
Researchers at the Helmholtz Zentrum München and the Technische Universität München are using a combination of light and ultrasound to visualize fluorescent proteins that are seated several centimeters deep into living tissue. view more (2009-07-01)
Geneticists aim to develop test to identify learning disability
Clinical geneticist and principal investigator Dr David FitzPatrick explains: "In approximately 10% of CGMH cases, the condition will be caused by a chromosomal abnormality such as a chromosome 21 problem as in Down's Syndrome. Recent studies have suggested that a further 6% of cases may be caused by tiny sub-microscopic abnormalities at the ends... view more... (2000-01-20)
A new method for bone-marrow-derived liver stem cells isolation and proliferation
Great interest has been aroused in the identification and isolation of liver stem cells from bone marrow cells. Several subsets of bone marrow cells have been found to have the potential to differentiate into hepatocytes, however, sorting based on immunological methods is difficult because of the complicated surface markers of the stem cells;... view more...

Landmark FSU study of hepatitis C virus solves mystery that has stymied quest for cure
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects more than 170 million people worldwide and leads to both acute and chronic liver diseases. view more (2006-02-08)
High efficiency flat light source invented
Scientists studying organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have made a critical leap from single-color displays to a highly efficient and long-lived natural light source. view more (2006-04-13)
Hoping for a fluorescent basket case
Although recent advances have raised hopes that a protective vaccine can be developed, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) remains a major public health problem. view more (2009-11-13)
Scientists and humanists join forces to use X-ray technology to shed new light on ancient stone inscriptions
In an unusual collaboration among scientists and humanists, a Cornell University team has demonstrated a novel method for recovering faded text on ancient stone by zapping and mapping 2,000-year-old inscriptions using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) imaging. view more (2005-08-03)
Drug discovery process more accurate, less expensive using novel mass spectrometry application
Cancer and cell biology experts at the University of Cincinnati (UC) have developed a new mass spectrometry-based tool they say provides more precise, cost-effective data collection for drug discovery efforts. view more (2009-09-18)
Free-energy theory borne out in large-scale protein folding
In unprecedented new research, scientists at Rice University have combined theory and experiment for the first time to both predict theoretically and verify experimentally the protein-folding dynamics of a large, complex protein. view more (2005-10-04)
Bright lights: Mystery of glowing antibody solved by Scripps research scientists
Now, a group of Scripps Research scientists have shown that EP2-19G2, one of a panel of fluorescent monoclonal antibodies that were first reported in 2000, produces its distinctive bright blue glow through a rare and highly complex recombination of electrical charge. view more (2008-02-29)
Which is promising as therapeutic targets in patients with biliary tract cancer? EGFR or HER2?
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) are involved in the carcinogenesis of many malignancies. view more (2009-10-16)
