Researchers developed a one-day blood test for the early detection of organ transplant injury that could enable more timely therapeutic intervention in transplant patients. The new method uses Droplet Digital PCR technology to quantify graft-derived cell-free DNA, the most direct and sensitive...

Researchers have developed a molecular switch that changes a liquid crystal's readout color based on a chemical input. This new development may open the way for using liquid crystals in detecting harmful gases, pathogens, explosives and other chemical substances. Fuente :...

Tree growth is one of the most essential and widely collected woody plant traits. Yet, the traditional method to measure tree growth is awkward and time consuming. Scientists have developed a new, resourceful way to take repeated tree growth measurements that is accurate and inexpensive, as well as...

Researchers have made a significant step in understanding and imaging protein synthesis, pinpointing exactly where and when cells produce new proteins. They have developed a new technique to produce high-resolution imaging of newly synthesized proteins inside living cells. Fuente :...

Clues left at the scene of the crime don't always point to the guilty party, as researchers investigating Parkinson's disease have discovered. It is generally accepted that the disease is aggravated when a specific protein is phosohorylated -- that is to say chemically transformed -- by an enzyme....

A year-long experiment on tiny ocean organisms called coccolithophores suggests that the single-celled algae may still be able to grow their calcified shells even as oceans grow warmer and more acidic in Earth's near future. The study stands in contrast to earlier studies suggesting that...

A study into marine life around an underwater volcanic vent in the Mediterranean, might hold the key to understanding how some species will be able to survive in increasingly acidic sea water should anthropogenic climate change continue.
