PSA velocity's clinical usefulness remains unclear
Some studies have suggested that the rate of change of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels may correspond with prostate cancer survival. But this does not necessarily mean that PSA velocity will be valuable as a prostate cancer screening tool. view more (2007-10-10)
Dartmouth researchers develop computational tool to untangle complex data
A group of Dartmouth researchers have developed a mathematical tool that can be used to unscramble the underlying structure of time-dependent, interrelated, complex data, like the votes of legislators over their careers, second-by-second activity of the stock market, or levels of oxygenated blood flow in the brain. view more (2008-12-17)
New tool helps researchers identify DNA patterns of cancer, genetic disorders
A new tool will help researchers identify the minute changes in DNA patterns that lead to cancer, Huntington's disease and a host of other genetic disorders. view more (2009-05-19)
K-Staters design and build a low-cost remote sensing tool for environmental studies

UK Scientists Create Medical And Food Safety Tool From Virus
UK scientists have found a way to explode deadly food-poisoning bacteria using an agent found in viruses. Professor Mike Gasson from the Institute of Food Research in Norwich discovered the potential of viruses while researching flavour development in cheese in the early 1990s. And with the help of Profos AG, an international company specialising... view more... (2003-12-18)

A new bioinformatics tool is capable of identifying and correcting abnormal, incomplete and mispredicted protein annotations in public databases. view more (2008-08-27)
Viagra®, unlikely tool for vision research, slows the visual response to flickering light
Therapeutic doses of Viagra® have been shown to influence the rate at which visual signals are integrated by the brain, affecting the way quick, repeated events, such as flickering light, are perceived. view more (2006-01-24)
Optical 'frequency comb' can detect the breath of disease
Exhale on a cold winter day and you will see the water vapor coming out of your mouth. Light up your breath with a Nobel-Prize-related tool, and you could potentially detect trace amounts of over 1,000 compounds, some of which provide early warning signs of disease. view more (2008-02-20)
Color test enhances tomato analyzer software
When it comes to fresh vegetables and fruits, color is one of the best indicators of quality. Along with texture, size, and flavor, color plays an important role in the business of horticultural crop production and marketing. view more (2009-02-27)
