Brian's Oldest Surviving 3D Paper Model (“Cricket” car from “Artificial Intelligence”) I've been doing 3D paper model cars since I was a kid, even way before I had a computer. People always trip out when they see my creations and tell me how ta… By: Network126 Continue reading →

Press freedom and its abuses

Posted on by

Editorial Desk The Daily Star Publication Date : 13-04-2013 There is no question that the Bangla Amar Desh newspaper and its editor have, over time, abused press freedom by publishing unverified and sometimes maliciousreports and provocative comments. At times, the paper seems out todeliberately arouse religious fury in Bangladesh through false or exaggerated reports with the avowed purpose of inciting violence. Much of its recent reporting on bloggers, for instance,was highly exaggerated and hateful,enveloped inthe so-called atheism controversy.While professing love for religion, it did not hesitate to falsifying news or photos, without a thought as to whether this was right Continue reading →

EDITORIAL: Press freedom and its abuses

Dhaka (The Daily Star/ANN) – There is no question that the Bangla Amar Desh newspaper and its editor have, over time, abused press freedom by publishing unverified and sometimes malicious reports and provocative comments. At times, the paper seems out to deliberately arouse religious fury in Bangladesh through false or exaggerated reports with the avowed purpose of inciting violence. Much of its recent reporting on bloggers, for instance, was highly exaggerated and hateful, enveloped in the so-called “atheism” controversy. Continue reading →

Shape matters in DNA nanoparticle therapy

Posted on by

ScienceDaily (Oct. 12, 2012) Researchers from Johns Hopkins and Northwestern universities have discovered how to control the shape of nanoparticles that move DNA through the body and have shown that the shapes of these carriers may make a big difference in how well they work in treating cancer and other diseases Continue reading →

Discovery of reprogramming signature may help further stem cell-based regenerative medicine research

This shows a colony of induced pluripotent stem cells. Blue fluorescence indicates cell nuclei; red and green are markers of pluripotency. Credit: Image: Courtesy of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies Salk scientists have identified a unique molecular signature in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), “reprogrammed” cells that show great promise in regenerative medicine thanks to their ability to generate a range of body tissues.

Paper, Blog Heats Up GE Discussion

Posted on by

There’s an interesting exchange on genetic engineering at the Food Politics blog, http://tinyurl.com/, featuring a review by industry critic Marion Nestle of an anti-GE paper, GMO Myths and Truths. I’ve skimmed the paper, which you can find at http://tinyurl.com/, and I confess to lacking the expertise to evaluate the claims. Continue reading →

Synthesis of genetically evolved semiconductor material

Posted on by

SANTA BARBARA In the not-too-distant future, scientists may be able to use DNA to grow their own specialized materials, thanks to the concept of directed evolution. UC Santa Barbara scientists have, for the first time, used genetic engineering and molecular evolution to develop the enzymatic synthesis of a semiconductor. Continue reading →

Gene therapy for hearing loss: Potential and limitations

Posted on by

ScienceDaily (May 11, 2012) Regenerating sensory hair cells, which produce electrical signals in response to vibrations within the inner ear, could form the basis for treating age- or trauma-related hearing loss. One way to do this could be with gene therapy that drives new sensory hair cells to grow. Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine have shown that introducing a gene called Atoh1 into the cochleae of young mice can induce the formation of extra sensory hair cells Continue reading →

New under the sun: Recurrent genetic mutations in melanoma

Public release date: 9-May-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Nicole Davis ndavis@broadinstitute.org 617-714-7152 Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard Melanoma the deadliest and most aggressive form of skin cancer has long been linked to time spent in the sun. Now a team led by scientists from the Broad Institute and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has sequenced the whole genomes of 25 metastatic melanoma tumors, confirming the role of chronic sun exposure and revealing new genetic changes important in tumor formation. In an article published online May 9 in Nature, the authors provide the first high-resolution view of the genomic landscape of human melanoma tumors. Continue reading →
