Skin may assist with foreseeing future heart issues Kumar Jeetendra | December 17, 2020 Our skin informs us when we have spent too much time in sunlight or when the dry air of winter has sucked away too much moisture. Now Jefferson researchers find that the skin may also foretell problems unrelated to the protective barrier. An international group of researchers headed by Jouni Uitto, MD, PhD, a Professor …
New fluorescence microscopy strategy produces nanoscale 3D pictures of living cells Kumar Jeetendra | January 12, 2021 A new fluorescence microscopy technique has produced the world’s first nanoscale 3D images of molecules in a whole, living cell, researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology reported. Ilaria Testa, an associate professor at KTH and researcher at the Science for Life Laboratory, says the technique is capable of generating images with precision that until …
A little sensor can be utilized for fast recognition of RNA and DNA Kumar Jeetendra | March 6, 2021 In less than a second, a small sensor used in brain chemistry research can detect the key molecules that provide the genetic instructions for life, RNA, and DNA, a new study from American University shows. The AU researchers believe a sensor is a helpful tool for scientists engaged in clinical research to quantify DNA metabolism, …
UMass Amherst scientist focuses around understanding essential parts of the hand’s microbiome Kumar Jeetendra | March 14, 2021 Skin Care microbiome researcher Dr. Kelly Haas, of the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Biology Department, recently started a research partnership with Akron, Ohio-based GOJO Industries to study the structure, stability, and endurance of their hand microbiome. The collaboration focuses on understanding fundamental aspects of the hand’s microbiome: what microbes should be growing on a hand …
Researchers grow better approach to screen electrostatic signs radiated by honeybees Kumar Jeetendra | May 5, 2021 Honeybees have a complex communication system. Between buzzes and body movements, they can direct hive mates to food sources, signal danger, and prepare for swarming – all indicators of colony health. And today, researchers are listening in. Scientists based in Germany – with collaborators in China and Norway – have developed a way to monitor …
