Biomedical researchers studying aging and cancer are intensely interested in telomeres, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes. In a new study, scientists at UC Santa Cruz used a novel technique to reveal structu...
To live is to move. You strike to swat that irritable mosquito, which skilfully evades the hand of death. How did that happen? Who moved your hand, and what saved the mosquito? Enter the Molecular Motors, nanoscale protein-machines in the muscles of your hand and wings of the mosquito. You need these motors to swat mosquitoes, blink your eyes, walk, eat, drink... just name it. Millions of motors tug as a team within your muscles, and you swat the mosquito. This is teamwork at its exquisite best.
NanoSmart Pharmaceuticals, a private biotechnology company, has entered into a research collaboration agreement with University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) to continue the development of NanoSmart's novel drug d...
NanoViricides, Inc. (the "Company") provides an update on its influenza program. The Company states that in a highly lethal animal model against an H3N2 Influenza virus strain, very similar to the current dominant influenza strain, the Company’s oral anti-influenza drug candidate has shown significantly superior efficacy to Tamiflu® (oseltamivir).
Researchers at North Carolina State University have come up with a technique to embed needle-like carbon nanofibers in an elastic membrane, creating a flexible "bed of nails" on the nanoscale that opens the door to development of new drug-delivery systems.
The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (formerly NARSAD, the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression) announced the latest recipients of its highly competitive NARSAD Distinguished Investigator Grants. Since 1987, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation has invested close to $300 million in research projects to identify the causes, improve treatments and develop prevention strategies for mental illness.
Aethlon Medical, Inc., today released the following note authored by its Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce .
The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has initiated a quest for alternatives to conventional antibiotics. One potential alternative is PlyC, a potent enzyme that kills the bacteria that causes strep throat and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. PlyC operates by locking onto the surface of a bacteria cell and chewing a hole in the cell wall large enough for the bacteria’s inner membrane to protrude from the cell, ultimately causing the cell to burst and die.
With applications spanning from non-shrink dental fillings to DNA-drugs the so-called dendrimers are a near magical material. Now a chemist from the University of Copenhagen has vowed to make the weird molecules famous.
In the past, hands flawless skin was the sign of nobility. Wearing gloves was almost mandatory for women in later centuries and remained so until the 1960's. They had a dual function: to nurture the skin and protect it from the harsh environment and as a fashion ornament. Today, with the high speed of life it is hard to pay much attention to this body part even though we all know that Hands are the busiest area and tend to age fast.
