A new world of molecular bioscavengers, sponges and mops is now closer. A computer-design method has enabled scientists to build proteins that can recognize and interact with small molecules. The proteins can also be reprogrammed to detect and unite with related substances, such as different forms...

The migration of mature female tiger sharks during late summer and fall to the main Hawaiian Islands, presumably to give birth, could provide insight into attacks in that area, according to a University of Florida scientist. Fuente : http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2013-09/uof...

Engineers at the California Institute of Technology have mimicked lightweight yet strong biological materials by creating nanostructured, hollow ceramic scaffolds, and have found that their small building blocks, or unit cells, display remarkable strength and resistance to failure despite being...

Researchers have made a significant advance in the function of metal-insulator-metal, or MIM diodes, a technology premised on the assumption that the speed of electrons moving through silicon is simply too slow. For the extraordinary speed envisioned in some future electronics applications, these innovative diodes solve...

Radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy is increasingly being used in the curative treatment for un-resected non-small cell lung cancer. But, until now, researchers had not looked at the cost-effectiveness of the treatment. Fuente : http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/8...

Researchers conclude that chemotherapy is associated with a greater than six-month improvement in median survival among elderly patients with small-cell lung cancer, even in patients over the age of 80 years. Fuente : http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/m...

Researchers have discovered that when it comes to the regeneration of heart tissue, cortical bone-derived stem cells might do a better job than the heart's own stem cells. This finding challenges longstanding assumptions about which cells are the most effective at repairing damaged heart tissue after heart attacks. Fuente :...

The results of new research mark the beginning of a new paradigm for our understanding of the history of Earth's great global ice sheets. The research shows that, contrary to the popularly held scientific view, an ice sheet on West Antarctica existed 20 million years earlier than previously thought. Fuente :...

A new laser-based technology may make brain tumor surgery much more accurate, allowing surgeons to tell cancer tissue from normal brain at the microscopic level while they are operating, and avoid leaving behind cells that could spawn a new tumor.

Researchers have identified a compound that dramatically bolsters learning and memory when given to mice with a Down syndrome-like condition on the day of birth. The single-dose treatment appears to enable the cerebellum of the rodents' brains to grow to a normal size. Fuente :...

Un nuevo método de microscopía desarrollado por científicos estadounidenses distingue con gran exactitud las células cancerosas de las sanas en el tejido cerebral. El innovador procedimiento podrá ser aplicado en los quirófanos para guiar a los cirujanos en la extirpación de tumores y mejorar los...

Farmers who grow corn and soybeans can take advantage of government price support programs and crop insurance, but similar programs are not available for those who grow biomass crops such as Miscanthus. A University of Illinois study recommends a framework for contracts between growers and biorefineries to help spell out...

We are immensely proud to share the news that Dr Papa Abdoulaye Seck, Director General of the Africa Rice Center (AfricaRice), has been nominated by the President of Senegal as the new Minister of Agriculture and Rural Equipment. He will end his appointment at AfricaRice on 12 September 2013 after seven years of outstanding...
