Federal, state and local agencies have reached consensus on the first validated national standard for collecting, packaging and transporting samples of visible powders that are suspected of being biological threat agents, such as anthrax. The new standard meets the needs of the first responders to test the powders on site, and the needs of the federal agencies to conduct tests on the same, uncontaminated powder samples for forensic and confirmatory analysis. New Brain Cells Listen Before They Talk
Newly-created neurons in adults rely on signals from distant brain regions to regulate their maturation and survival -- which has implications for using adult stem cells to replace those lost by trauma or neurodegeneration. Seeing Seeing In Action: New Uses Of Imaging Techniques Broadens World
Harvard Medical School researchers areseeing what seeing does to the brains of animals and making images that show for the first time single brain cells working together. The work, by Professor of Neurobiology Clay Reid and colleagues from Harvard Medical School, combines existing imaging techniques to create high-resolution movies of the working brain. Hypochondriacal Electromagnetosis

Detecting Bird Flu: New Lab-on-chip Identifies H5N1 In Thirty Minutes
Scientists have developed a miniature device that, if successfully commercialized, could be deployed in affected regions for preemptive surveillance of a nascent avian flu epidemic. The device can detect the presence of the H5N1 virus directly from throat swab samples on-site in less than half an hour.
