| New method for creating tissue engineering scaffolds Posted: 10 Feb 2012 10:33 AM PST Researchers have developed a new method for creating scaffolds for tissue engineering applications, providing an alternative that is more flexible and less time-intensive than current technology.  |
| Grass to gas: Genome map speeds biofuel development Posted: 10 Feb 2012 10:33 AM PST Researchers have taken a major step in the ongoing effort to find sources of cleaner, renewable energy by mapping the genomes of two originator cells of Miscanthus x giganteus, a large perennial grass with promise as a source of ethanol and bioenergy.  |
| New method makes culture of complex tissue possible in any lab Posted: 09 Feb 2012 02:29 PM PST Scientists have developed a new method for making scaffolds for culturing tissue in three-dimensional arrangements that mimic those in the body. This advance allows the production of tissue culture scaffolds containing multiple structurally and chemically distinct layers using common laboratory reagents and materials.  |
| New avenue for treating colon cancer Posted: 09 Feb 2012 02:29 PM PST Cell biologists have uncovered a new insight into colon cancer, the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. The team analyzed human colon cancer specimens and found that in nearly 80 percent of them the variants of a gene (HNF4A) are out of balance. This imbalance appears to be the result of a complex, multi-step process by an enzyme (Src kinase).  |
| Decoding the molecular machine behind E. coli and cholera Posted: 09 Feb 2012 02:28 PM PST Scientists have discovered the workings behind some of the bacteria that kill hundreds of thousands every year, possibly paving the way for new antibiotics that could treat infections more effectively.  |
| The genetics of rice metabolism Posted: 08 Feb 2012 06:01 AM PST A large-scale study analyzing metabolic compounds in rice grains has identified 131 rice metabolites and clarified the genetic and environmental factors that influence their production.  |
