Molecular Research Suggest Shift Needed In How Some Drugs Are Created
The first close-up look at a pro-inflammatory signaling molecule involved in immune response in mammals suggests that researchers "should rethink what they are doing"in creating drugs based on a fruit-fly model, scientists say. Jan. 14, 1943: Space Cowgirl
When this woman asks you for more space, you'd better believe she's serious. Compiled by Tony Long. Last Letters Home: Voices of American Troops From the Battlefields of
Companion site to a Home Box Office (HBO) program that features the letters of soldiers killed in action in Iraq. Features profiles of the families of the soldiers, a selection of letters, a discussion board, and a place to submit stories. Mouse Genome Will Help Identify Causes Of Environmental Disease
Research on the DNA of 15 mouse strains commonly used in biomedical studies is expected to help scientists determine the genes related to susceptibility to environmental disease. The body of data is now publicly available in a catalog of genetic variants, which displays the data as a mouse haplotype map, a tool that separates chromosomes in to many small segments, helping researchers find genes and genetic variations in mice that may affect health and disease. Self-cleaning sticky tape
Geckos are well known for their ability to cling to almost any surface and at any angle. They can hang upside down from polished glass by a single toe, putting even Spiderman to shame! Gene Expression Profiling Of Dengue Virus Infection In Cell Lines And
Researchers have identified new host genes associated with dengue virus infection, which may open new avenues to developing a drug to treat the disease. The results suggest that drugs that target the host pathways may prove effective against dengue. When Is A Worm Not A Worm? When It's A Jellyfish...
One of the world's strangest creatures has found its long-lost kin. Oxford University scientists have discovered that an extremely rare gutless worm is related to sea anemones and jellyfish, rather than similar-looking animals, reports the journal Science. The finding could cause an evolutionary rethink. Usual Test For Vitamin Deficiency Can Mislead Doctors
A test that generally is used to measure the amount of vitamin B12 in the body is not sensitive enough to detect a deficiency of the vitamin, which has been linked to several neurological conditions, according to Saint Louis University research. National Register Evaluation of New Orleans Drainage System, Orleans P
1999 report about the history of "the modern New Orleans drainage system [which] represents a unique technological solution to natural conditions that have played an important role in the settlement and expansion of the city. The system was designed in 1895, and construction of the system began in 1897."The report recommends selected pumping stations be considered individually eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Includes a bibliography and numerous images. Mississippi State University MicroCHP
Publications and research materials from a center developing energy-efficient micro-cooling, heating, and power (micro-CHP) systems "suitable for agricultural, residential, and small commercial buildings."Provides a diagram showing the components of micro-CHP systems, which use "distributed electric and thermal energy delivery systems at or near end-user sites."Also includes presentations, instructional modules, and links to other websites about micro-CHP and energy efficiency. From Mississippi State University.
