Balancing birds and biofuels: Grasslands support more species than cornfields
3.11.2014 | Newly on Gate2Biotech
In a study published today in the journal PLOS ONE, University of Wisconsin-Madison and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) scientists examined whether corn and perennial grassland fields in southern Wisconsin could provide both biomass for bioenergy production and bountiful bird habitat.
Antiretroviral therapy benefits HIV-infected stimulant users, UCSF study shows
31.10.2014 | Newly on Gate2Biotech
New clinical research from UC San Francisco shows that 341 HIV-infected men who reported using stimulants such as methamphetamine or cocaine derived life-saving benefits from being on antiretroviral therapy that were comparable to those of HIV-infected men who do not use stimulants.
New technique yields fast results in drug, biomedical testing
30.10.2014 | Newly on Gate2Biotech
A new technique makes it possible to quickly detect the presence of drugs or to monitor certain medical conditions using only a single drop of blood or urine, representing a potential tool for clinicians and law enforcement.
Migrating animals’ pee affects ocean chemistry
29.10.2014 | Newly on Gate2Biotech
The largest migration on the planet is the movement of small animals from the surface of the open ocean, where they feed on plants under cover of darkness, to the sunless depths where they hide from predators during the day.
Researchers find RNA molecules in urine and tissue that detect prostate cancer
28.10.2014 | Newly on Gate2Biotech
Potential biomarkers may pave way to a more sensitive, specific, and noninvasive prostate cancer screening assay, according to report in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics.
Hormone loss could be involved in colon cancer
27.10.2014 | Newly on Gate2Biotech
Like diabetes, colon cancer may be caused in part by the loss of 1 hormone, suggesting hormone replacement therapy could stall cancer formation.
Elevated cholesterol and triglycerides may increase the risk for prostate cancer recurrence
24.10.2014 | Newly on Gate2Biotech
Higher levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides, two types of fat, in the blood of men who underwent surgery for prostate cancer, were associated with increased risk for disease recurrence, according to a study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Researc...
Rare \'baby rattle\' molecules reveal new quantum properties of H2O and H2
23.10.2014 | Newly on Gate2Biotech
The experiments were carried out on endofullerenes, molecules of C60 into which smaller molecules of Hydrogen (H2) had been inserted. The results, published in Physical Review Letters, represent the first known example of a quantum selection rule found in a molecule.
An enzyme and synaptic plasticity
22.10.2014 | Newly on Gate2Biotech
Study reveals novel role for the Pin1 molecule. A small, "empty" space teeming with activity: a synapse is a complex structure where the neural (electrical) signal from the presynaptic neuron, as it travels towards its target –a muscle, a gland or another neuron – turns into a chemical signal capable of crossing the synaptic space before...
