Researchers measure minuscule particles with ‘tiny diving boards’

Suspended nanochannel resonator (SNR), a high precision instrument, can now measure masses of particles as small as one millionth of a trillionth of a gram, say MIT researchers.

The suspended nanochannel resonator (SNR), a high precision instrument devised by researchers, can determine the mass of particles with a resolution better than an attogram one millionth of a trillionth of a gram, according to a press release by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

With the help of the SNR, researchers can now determine the mass of minuscule-sized viruses, protein aggregates, and other naturally occurring and engineered nanoparticles (a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter), which were earlier difficult to measure due to their small size, according to the findings that were published in a paper for the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Now we can weigh small viruses, extracellular vesicles, and most of the engineered nanoparticles that are being used for nanomedicine, said Selim Olcum, one of the paper's lead authors.

The SNR builds upon the suspended microchannel resonator (SMR), an earlier technology developed by Scott Manalis, an MIT professor of biological and mechanical engineering.

The SMR was used to track cell growth and measure density of cells, according to the MIT press release.

The SMR consists of a fluid-filled microchannel in a tiny silicon cantilever, a beam secured at one end. The particles are made to flow through the channel, one by one, and the mass of the particles changes the vibration frequency of the cantilever.

Nobel Prize winner shuns ‘luxury journals’

By Queena Lee-Chua Philippine Daily Inquirer

Last Dec. 10, Randy Wayne Schekman, an American cell biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, with James Rothman and Thomas Sdhof, accepted the 2013 Nobel Prize for Physiology.

The scientists were awarded for their work on machinery involving vesicle traffic, a major transport system in our cells.

But Schekman announced he would no longer be publishing in the most prestigious scientific journals in the world, such as Nature, Science and Cell, even though their publication of his papers was among the bases for his getting the Nobel.

Calling the publications luxury journals, Schekman accuses them of promoting the flashiest work, not the best.

He likens the publishing culture to that of Wall Street and says that just as huge undeserved bonuses damaged banking and finance, the prestige associated with publishing in luxury journals damaged the culture of research and science as a whole.

Like fashion designers who create limited-edition handbags or suits, [luxury journals] know scarcity stokes demand, so they artificially restrict the number of papers they accept, Schekman says in the British Guardian.

Schekman also says the so-called impact factor, the number of times research papers are cited in subsequent studies, is a deeply flawed measure.

Anti-Aging Medicine

Both Anti-Aging medicine and current medical practice are attempting to increase life span and improve the quality of human life. Anti-Aging medicine tends to be more proactive and utilizes cutting edge approaches

As we age multiple hormone abnormalities develop and can be diagnosed clinically and through extensive lab work (evidence-based medicine). These abnormalities can cause weakness, fatigue, loss of libido, and decreased ambition and productivity. Growth hormone deficiencies are diagnosed through blood work. If there is a true deficiency, various natural supplements are prescribed (without injections) and subsequent clinical and lab reassessment is done.

Specific emphasis is placed on male and female menopause. Inwomen.natural therapeutics andbio-identical hormonesare used to increase the good estrogen and decrease the potentially carcinogenic (cancer-causing) bad estrogens. Inmen, clinical deficiencies in testosterone or its precursors or situations in which testosterone deficiencies arise from age-related conversion of testosterone to estrogen are treated with natural therapeutics. Only when all natural attempts to correct laboratory abnormalities have not obtained optimal results will other therapies will be utilized, eg. injections, gels, creams, etc.

Hormonal Causes of Aging Science has now documented that several important anabolic (body building type) hormones decrease in a predictable fashion,.

Bioidentical Hormonereplacement therapy (synthetic or nonsynthetic hormones that are identical in chemical structure to hormones produced naturally.) has many advantages such as:

Womans Health Initiative Study Why did a study on estrogen derived from pregnant horse urine and synthetic progesterone reveal negative results? Source: estrogen was derived from the urine of pregnant horses and included unnecessary forms of estrogen found only in horses. The progesterone utilized was a synthetic compound.
