Thermometer For Plasma
St. Petersburg researchers have designed an original thermometer for fast-moving electrons in thermonuclear reactors. The laser beam in this device is used to instantly determine the temperature of burning hot plasma, at frequencies required for precise diagnostics. This device is a further step forward to controlled nuclear fusion. The device... view more... (2003-09-05)

NYU physicists find way to explore microscopic systems through holographic video
Physicists at New York University have developed a technique to record three-dimensional movies of microscopic systems, such as biological molecules, through holographic video. view more (2009-07-21)
Cancer researchers confirm brain tumor genetic subtype informs treatment, predicts outcome
Research confirms that determining the genetic composition of brain cancers can better inform doctors and patients for treatment options and prognosis. The findings could change the future of how cancers are diagnosed. view more (2006-07-07)
New EMBO/NPG journal - A first in systems biology publishing
Molecular Systems Biology, a new electronic journal from the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) and Nature Publishing Group (NPG), is now live at http://www.molecularsystemsbiology.com. view more (2005-04-15)
Mitochondrial DNA sequencing tool updated
High-tech laboratory tools, like computers, are often updated publicly as their analytical capabilities expand. In the September issue of the Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, NIH grantees report they have developed a second generation "lab on a silicon chip" called the MitoChip v2.0 that for the first time rapidly and reliably sequences... view more...

Researchers from The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions have used short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping and p57 immunohistochemistry to distinguish hydatidiform moles. view more (2009-10-21)
UBC scientists find new way to extract diluted and contaminated DNA
University of British Columbia researchers have developed a new way to extract DNA and RNA from small or heavily contaminated samples that could help forensic investigators and molecular biologists get to "the truth." view more (2009-08-11)
More Than 200 New Genes Discovered
Finnish company Jurilab has announced the completion of a genome-wide scan in Acute Myocardial Infarction in the East Finland Founder Population. The study gives invaluable insight into the interplay of different genes and pathways leading to coronary disease. The study has re-affirmed the majority of genes previously known to be associated with... view more... (2004-08-12)
Directed self-ordering of organic molecules for electronic devices
A simple surface treatment technique demonstrated by a collaboration between researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Penn State and the University of Kentucky potentially offers a low-cost way to mass produce large arrays of organic electronic transistors on polymer sheets for a wide range of applications... view more...

Breakthrough in nanodevice synthesis revolutionizes biological sensors
A novel approach to synthesizing nanowires (NWs) allows their direct integration with microelectronic systems for the first time, as well as their ability to act as highly sensitive biomolecule detectors that could revolutionize biological diagnostic applications. view more (2007-02-01)
Diagnostic tests for malaria underused in Zambia
Despite improvements in the ability to diagnose malaria, these diagnostic tests are often underused in Zambia, and patients with negative test results are often prescribed anti-malaria medications. view more (2007-05-23)
New accurate diagnostic test for swine H1N1 influenza using RT-PCR technology
A new, easy-to-perform method for detecting both seasonal influenza A virus and the emerging H1N1 swine-derived influenza A virus in human clinical samples offers a fast, sensitive, and cost-effective diagnostic test that runs on standard laboratory equipment. view more (2009-06-10)
Dental researchers confirm microRNAs as biomarkers for oral cancer detection
A new study published by researchers at the UCLA School of Dentistry substantiates the effectiveness of measuring the microRNAs present in saliva to detect oral squamous cell carcinoma. view more (2009-08-26)
MIT particles pave way for new bedside diagnostics
MIT researchers have created an inexpensive method to screen for millions of different biomolecules (DNA, proteins, etc.) in a single sample-a technology that could make possible the development of low-cost clinical bedside diagnostics. view more (2007-03-09)
First steps to EMBO research awards agreed by the EMBC
At the summer meeting of the European Molecular Biology Conference (the EMBC), it was decided to initiate the process of launching an EMBO Research Award Programme. This would be a major expansion of the EMBO activities that are predominantly funded by the EMBC. As such, it requires the establishment of a special project, a process that was used... view more...

REG1A and its receptor EXTL3 are prognostic markers for colorectal cancer recurrence
Two genes, known as REG1A and EXTL3, are overexpressed in colorectal tumors of patients who are at high risk of recurrence, according to a new study from the Max Delbrueck Center in Berlin, Germany. view more (2006-09-14)
Microscopes at microscopic size
Traditionally if scientists wanted to look at something small they would put a sample under a microscope but now researchers have managed to shrink the microscope itself to the size of a single human cell. An interdisciplinary research team, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council (BBSRC) and the Engineering and... view more... (2005-04-07)
