| Nano-dissection identifies genes involved in kidney disease Posted: 04 Oct 2013 12:48 PM PDT A new method developed by researchers called "in silico nano-dissection" uses computers rather than scalpels to separate and identify genes from specific cell types, enabling the systematic study of genes involved in diseases. |
| Surprisingly simple scheme for self-assembling robots Posted: 04 Oct 2013 07:52 AM PDT Researchers find that small cubes with no exterior moving parts can propel themselves forward, jump on top of each other, and snap together to form arbitrary shapes. |
| Well-connected hemispheres of Einstein's brain may have sparked his brilliance Posted: 04 Oct 2013 07:47 AM PDT The left and right hemispheres of Albert Einstein's brain were unusually well connected to each other and may have contributed to his brilliance. |
| Scientists discover molecules that show promise for new anti-flu medicines Posted: 04 Oct 2013 06:08 AM PDT A new way to attack flu viruses is taking shape in laboratories, where scientists have identified chemical agents that block the virus's ability to replicate itself in cell culture. These novel compounds show promise for a new class of antiviral medicines to fight much-feared pandemic influenza such as the looming "bird flu" threats caused by the H5N1 influenza A virus and the new H7N9 virus. |
| Astronomers discover large 'hot' cocoon around a small baby star Posted: 04 Oct 2013 06:03 AM PDT Astronomers have observed an infrared dark cloud and discovered a baby star surrounded by a large hot cloud. This hot cloud is about ten times larger than those found around typical solar-mass baby stars. |
| Climate puzzle over origins of life on Earth Posted: 04 Oct 2013 06:03 AM PDT The mystery of why life on Earth evolved when it did has deepened with new research. Scientists have ruled out a theory as to why the planet was warm enough to sustain the planet's earliest life forms when the Sun's energy was roughly three-quarters the strength it is today. |
| Power of precision medicine in successful treatment of patient with disabling OCD Posted: 03 Oct 2013 06:57 AM PDT A multidisciplinary team led by a geneticist and psychiatrist have published a paper providing a glimpse of both the tremendous power and the current limitations of "precision medicine." |
