Optogenetic Technique Rapidly Screens for Cardiac Drug Safety
WASHINGTON, D.C., June 3, 2016 — An optogenetic technique has been used to make cardiac cells beat and optically measure their response, enabling an automated drug-testing process called OptoDyCE.
T Cell Trigger: Sheer Force
BOSTON, Nov. 3, 2009 – An array of techniques including optical tweezers were used to find the "switch" that can swiftly change a T cell – a white blood cell that patrols the bloodstream and organs for signs of disease – from jury to executioner. Revealing this "missing...
Biosensor Images Tumors
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Aug. 12, 2009 — A new oxygen nanosensor created by coupling a light-emitting dye with a biopolymer simplifies the imaging of oxygen-deficient regions of tumors, said chemists at the University of Virginia who developed the material. Such tumors are associated with...
Obama, Don't Let Pot Research Go Up In Smoke
Feb 3, 2009 — Try as they might, researchers in the United States have a hard time obtaining permits to grow marijuana. Take University of Massachusetts professor Lyle Craker, for instance. He did win a recommendation from an "administrative" (In other words,...
Dreadlocks with Kung Fu Grip
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 9, 2009 -- Researchers have found that dunking synthetic, nanosize hairs into a liquid and allowing the liquid to evaporate can coax the nanobristles to twist together like dreadlocks, sticking to each other or to an object in their center with a tenacious...
Light Activates Cancer Drug
ÖREBRO, Sweden, Nov. 24, 2008 -- A Swedish research team has developed a light-activated drug as an easy and inexpensive way to treat skin cancer in that country. The new drug, developed by researcher Leif Eriksson's team at Örebro University, is based on the use of...
TEM Probes Between Atoms
HAMILTON, Ontario, Oct. 20, 2008 -- A powerful, $15 million transmission electron microscope (TEM) that has an atomic-level probing capability comparable to the galaxy peering power of the Hubble Space Telescope has been installed in the new Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy at...
Sensors Monitor Drug Usage
ATLANTA, March 10, 2008 -- A sensor necklace that records the exact time and date when pills are swallowed and reminds the user if doses are missed could help the one in three adults in the US who fail to take their medicines as prescribed, or anyone else who occasionally...
Light-Activated Compound Calms Nerves
ST. LOUIS, March 6, 2007 -- A compound that halts nerve cell activity in the brain only when exposed to light is showing promise as a potential treatment for epilepsy. "This is daydreaming at this point, but we might one day combine this drug with a small implanted light...
Nano-Based Drug Delivery System Targets Tumors
BUFFALO, N.Y., June 12, 2006 -- A new nanoparticle-based drug delivery system that uses an applied magnetic field to target tumor cells with custom-designed, drug-filled nanocarriers may lead to treatments that could reduce drug accumulation in normal tissues and also take...
