Pollutant-eating bacteria not so rare 27 Aug 2013 | 04:00 am
Dioxane, a chemical in wide industrial use, has an enemy in naturally occurring bacteria that remove it from the environment. Researchers at Rice University have found that these bacteria are more abu...
Lab-Made Complexes Are \'Sun Sponges\' 26 Aug 2013 | 04:00 am
A ring of protein and pigments, half synthetic and half natural, can be used to quickly prototype light-harvesting antennas that absorb more sunlight than fully natural ones. In diagrams it looks like...
Slug glue: A future with no sutures? 23 Aug 2013 | 04:00 am
The materials for stitching up injuries and surgical wounds may have changed over the millennia, but the basic process of suturing tissue remains the same. In the 21st century, however, the method may...
Researchers get a handle on what made Typhoid Mary\'s infectious microbes tick 22 Aug 2013 | 04:00 am
Stanford University School of Medicine scientists have shown how salmonella—a bacterial menace responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths each year from typhoid fever and food poisoning—manages t...
Researchers mass produce reprogrammed T cells that target cancer cells 21 Aug 2013 | 04:00 am
A team of researchers at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center has developed a method for mass producing T cells that have been reprogrammed using stem cell technology to target and destroy cance...
Marine compound first new natural antibiotic in decades 20 Aug 2013 | 04:00 am
A new antibiotic that is effective at killing anthrax and superbug MRSA bacteria could be a weapon in the fight against antibiotic resistance – and terrorism. Anthracimycin, a chemical compound derive...
Fluorescent organic nanoparticles outperform existing methods for long-term tracking of living cells 19 Aug 2013 | 04:00 am
A research team in Asia has developed a method for tracking, or \'tracing\', cells that overcomes the limitations of existing methods. The team\'s fluorescent organic tracers will provide researchers ...
Bacteria used to make a molecular ‘super glue’ 19 Aug 2013 | 04:00 am
Scientists have created a molecular super-glue using bacterial proteins. The glue was apparently so strong that it broke the instrument used to measure the strength of the glue. The reason for creatin...
Dad\'s genes build placentas, study shows 16 Aug 2013 | 04:00 am
Though placentas support the fetus and mother, it turns out that the organ grows according to blueprints from dad, says new Cornell research. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Ac...
Laser pulses reveal DNA repair mechanisms 15 Aug 2013 | 04:00 am
A new straightforward method enables monitoring the response of nuclear proteins to DNA damage in time and space. The approach is based on nonlinear photoperturbation. Understanding the cellular respo...
