Making proteins glow blue
In the beginning, there was protein. 19th-century scientists at least believed that this group of organic compounds were based on some kind of primeval matter. Therefore they named them "proteins" - derived from the Greek word "protos" (the first). It is meanwhile known that the structure of proteins is ultimately determined by... view more... (2003-09-18)

Nanoparticles carry cancer-killing drugs into tumor cells
University of Michigan scientists have created the nanotechnology equivalent of a Trojan horse to smuggle a powerful chemotherapeutic drug inside tumor cells - increasing the drug's cancer-killing activity and reducing its toxic side effects.   view more (2005-06-15)

DNA gets new twist: Carnegie Mellon scientists develop unique 'DNA nanotags'
