Penn Animal Study Identifies New DNA Weapon Against Avian Flu |
|
Thursday, 03 July 2008 |
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have identified a potential new way to vaccinate against avian flu. By delivering vaccine via DNA constructed to build antigens against flu, along with a minute electric pulse, researchers have immunized experimental animals against various strains of the virus. This approach could allow for the build up of vaccine reserves that could be easily and effectively dispensed in case of an epidemic. This study was published last week in PLoS ONE.

Stem Cell's Fork in the Road |
|
Thursday, 05 June 2008 |
|
The road to death or differentiation follows a similar course in
embryonic stem cells, said researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in
Houston in a report that appears online today in the journal Cell Stem
Cell.
“Caspases, known as ‘killer enzymes,’ that are activated during
programmed cell death, are also active in the initial phases of cell
differentiation,” said Dr. Thomas Zwaka, assistant professor in the
Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Center (STaR) at BCM.

If you were one of the unlucky who didn't get their funding proposal or poster in on time, or otherwise had to keep the lab afloat while your colleagues left to jet set around Europe, don't be upset. We have sent our trusty Application Scientist off to do a little reconnaissance on the 24th ISAC Congress in Budapest, Hungary. Here is a blow-by-blow account of the last four days provided by MyCyte correspondent-at-large John Quinn Ph.D...enjoy!!

Incoming ISAC president not just an administrator |
|
Tuesday, 13 May 2008 |
|
If you are heading to ISAC Budapest, you are probably aware that Robert Murphy will be taking the helm as ISAC president. But you might not have heard of the contributions the distinguished Carnegie Mellon professor and a colleague, Justin Newberg, have been making towards developing a software toolbox that is intended to help bioscience researchers characterize protein patterns in human tissues.
