Discovery

ScienceDaily reported that genevision will answer the needs of uncanny ability to view the activity of any chosen gene in real time through a specially modified camera. A new study in BMC Biotechnology correlates real-time gene expression with movement and behavior for the first time. It is expected that this technology will enable correlate behavior [...]

In 2006, WHO reported evidence of limited human-to-human spread of H5N1 virus. In this situation, 8 people in one family were affected, with 7 deaths. This is the main reason, why Indonesia became the country with most cases of human H5N1 flu. Recently, NewScientist reported, in the latest World Health Organization meeting, there was a [...]

Researchers from a CNRS / Université Paris Diderot, led by Professor Hugues, found that retinoic acid and arsenic oxide induce the differentiation of malignant cells in acute promyelocytic leukemias. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by an excess of immature and malignant cells. Leukemia known to be a cancer of the blood or bone marrow [...]

In the University of California, Berkeley, Jack Gallant and colleagues showed that they could tell which of a set of images someone was looking at from a brain scan. They mentioned that we’ll be able to record images we’ve seen by analyzing the brain signals, so that we can reconstruct the images in a record. To do [...]

The radiation of cell phone has been found to affect animals memory. In the research held by the Division of Neurosurgery–Lund University, in Sweden–it was found that rats, the used object were exposed to mobile phone radiation for two hours a week for more than a year. The research led by Henrietta Nittby. She said [...]

It was reported in ScienceDaily that the scientist from University of California have found first of a new class of cellular motor proteins that “rewind” sections of the double-stranded DNA that become unwound. Jim Kadonaga, one of the lead researcher explained that it is a big problem when a DNA is unwound. Even, this is the [...]

In the journal Science appearing on October 10, 2008, Nina Schwalb and colleagues represent the researcher form Kiel University to show that they have succeeded to proof that DNA strands differ in their light sensitivity depending on their base sequences. It has been known before that DNA highly resistant against alteration by ultraviolet light. Human DNA, basically, [...]

A recent discovery on genetic repair has been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The Uppsala researchers presenting their new finding that used minibacteria and ants. Insects like ants, tse-tse flies, and aphids known to be dependent from special minibacteria for their survival. The bacteria live in special organs inside insect’s [...]

It was reported in ScienceDaily, the researchers from Ohio State University suggest that animals has been walking using legs 30 million years earlier than previously thought. From the footprints found (track of two parallel rows of small dots) they firstly thought that it was microbe or multi-cellular animals. Loren Babcock, the professor in the research said [...]

During the past 20 years or so, obesity has become a world wide problem. It affects those people who fail to look after their health, especially their habit in eating, since obesity is intimately linked to food and fat. Again and again, there the word goes : fat.
