Capturing cell "fingerprints" to advance cancer screening. Technology invented by Northeastern researchers analyzes the chemical composition of cells to aid in early cancer detection.
(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at Northeastern University have developed an early-stage, highly accurate cancer screening technology that determines -- in seconds -- whether a cell is cancerous, precancerous or normal.
A team of researchers from DuPont and Lehigh University has reported a breakthrough in the quest to produce carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that are suitable for use in electronics, medicine and other applications. In an article published in the July 9 issue of Nature, the group says it has developed a DNA-based method that sorts and separates specific types of CNTs from a mixture.
A new Northwestern University-led study of human colon, pancreatic and lung cells is the first to report that cancer cells and their non-cancerous cell neighbors, although quite different under the microscope, share very similar structural abnormalities on the nanoscale level.
One of nature's most gripping feats of survival is now better understood. For the first time, scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory observed the chemical changes in individual cells that enable them to survive conditions that should kill them.
The Neurological Foundation of New Zealand awarded more than $800,000 in research grants, travel grants and scholarships for its July 2009 funding round, announced on Friday, July 3. A further $300,000 was awarded under the University of Auckland, Centre for Brain Research Douglas Research Grant.
(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers from the University of Wyoming and an institute in Germany have completed a project that, for the first time, has identified how sunlight changes activity of a particular class of proteins called BLUF domain photoreceptors. BLUF is short for Blue Light Using Flavin adenine dinucleotide.
A team of researchers led by the Genomic Medicine Institute at Seoul National University has sequenced and analyzed the genome of an anonymous Korean man, using a combination of whole-genome shotgun sequencing and targeted bacterial artificial chromosome sequencing on the Illumina Genome Analyzer and comparative genomic hybridization by microarrays.

( DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ) How do some bacteria survive conditions that should kill them? In groundbreaking research, Berkeley Lab scientists used the Advanced Light Source to track chemical changes in individual cells as they adapt to extreme environments.
