| Posted: 07 Sep 2014 03:17 PM PDT Research could lead to light detectors that can see below the surface of bodies, walls, and other objects, with applications in emerging terahertz fields such as mobile communications, medical imaging, chemical sensing, night vision, and security. |
| Ultraviolet light-induced mutation drives many skin cancers, researchers find Posted: 07 Sep 2014 03:17 PM PDT A genetic mutation caused by ultraviolet light is likely the driving force behind millions of human skin cancers, according to researchers. The mutation occurs in a gene called KNSTRN, which is involved in helping cells divide their DNA equally during cell division. |
| Platelet-like particles augment natural blood clotting for treating trauma Posted: 07 Sep 2014 03:06 PM PDT A new class of synthetic platelet-like particles could augment natural blood clotting for the emergency treatment of traumatic injuries -- and potentially offer doctors a new option for curbing surgical bleeding and addressing certain blood clotting disorders without the need for transfusions of natural platelets. |
| Dynamic duo takes out cellular trash: Research finds how dead cells are removed from body Posted: 07 Sep 2014 03:06 PM PDT Scientists have identified how immune cells use two critical receptors to clear dead cells from the body, pointing the way to new autoimmune and cancer therapies. "This basic research focus allowed us to discover a completely new aspect of immune regulation that no one -— including any immunologist—had known about before," said one researcher. |
| Body clock link could aid obesity treatments Posted: 03 Sep 2014 05:38 PM PDT The body clock plays an important role in body fat, researchers have found. Their findings are helping develop new ways of treating obesity and the fatal diseases linked to being overweight. It's hoped the study will demonstrate that strengthening our internal body clock by changing behavior can be used to treat a condition in a similar way to drugs and surgery. |
