Scientists Announce New Advance With Potential for Future Cancer Targeting :
- New research that provides potential for exciting new approaches to targeting diseases such as cancer has been announced by an international team of academics. They have also announced the potential for more targeted treatments following their identification of proteins that play a vital role in the life of a human cell. (Full News)
Researchers Train Bacteria to Convert Bio-Wastes Into Plastic :
- Researcher Jean-Paul Meijnen has 'trained' bacteria to convert all the main sugars in vegetable, fruit and garden waste efficiently into high-quality environmentally friendly products such as bioplastics. (Full News)
Jellyfish Fight Terrorists :
- Engineers invented a device to bring air samples into contact with genetically engineered biosensors in the effort to detect dangerous biological agents. The technology uses multiple collections of altered cell antibodies, each collection designed to respond to a specific pathogen by releasing photons of a unique wavelength upon finding it. Detectors measure the photons' wavelengths and interpret the pathogens they represent. (Full Story)
Researchers Apply DNA Biology to Vaccination Technique :
- Spraying viral genes directly through the skin is a new technique that turns infinitesimal amounts of DNA into an effective vaccine. If approved for use in humans, the new procedure could save lives in case of a flu pandemic, by skipping the current, time-consuming production of vaccines in chicken eggs. (Full Story)
