Scientists believe that complex diseases such as schizophrenia, major depression and cancer are not caused by one, but a multitude of dysfunctional genes. A novel computational biology method developed by a research team...
JPK Instruments hosted the 7th international symposium on "Scanning Probe Microscopy in Life Sciences" on October 8-9th in Berlin. Nearly 100 scientists from around the world attended the meeting to present their results and share scientific knowledge. The meeting is part of the NanoBioVIEWS(TM) series of international meetings initiated by JPK to further the scientific interchange of knowledge on applications and instrumentation that applies nanotechnology in the life sciences.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-which resemble tiny rolls of chicken wire-are used in electronics, optics and other products because of their unusual strength and electrical conductivity. CNT's are also being used for drug delivery. But an engineer and a chemist affiliated with the Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology have teamed up to study the ways that nanotubes could transport harmful toxins in aquatic environments.
A team of scientists at Arkansas Nanotechnology Center at UALR (the University of Arkansas at Little Rock) has developed what promises to be a non-invasive method of eradicating cancer cells while reducing the life-threa...
Applied Biosystems Inc. today announced the worldwide availability of a new universal genotyping reagent solution that accelerates the generation of high-quality genotyping data for a host of life science applications. T...
Researchers of the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short-Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI) have developed a novel optical fiber that enables transmission of ultrashort light pulses with an unprecedented low degree of distortions.
Sigma-Aldrich today announced the launch of its TransPlex(R) Whole Transcriptome Amplification (WTA2) technology. TransPlex technology is believed to be the fastest, most sensitive and robust method available for amplifying total RNA from a variety of sample tissue sources such as animals, plants, and microorganisms.
Carbon nanotubes have significant potential for delivering both imaging and therapeutic agents to tumors, but there is still a need to better quantify how well these rolled-up sheets of graphite can target tumors. Now, t...
Today Percepta Associates Inc. announced the release of MicroRNA Analysis in North America: A research market report for life science tool providers. This report presents an overview of current technologies in use, suppl...
