...hours, detectives questioned Kurtz about how Hope, 45, had died and about the beakers, bacteria and lab equipment he had on a table upstairs. Kurtz, a 50-year-old art professor at SUNY Buffalo who looks more like a high school A/V club member, with long, brown hair tucked behind his ear and a wide, toothy smile, says he explained that his own art work specializes in "bioart," an ultramodern blend of science, technology and art whose medium is living matter, such as cells. He and his wife, also an artist, used the lab equipment for their work, including...
...confirms much of Kurtz's account, but stresses that the situation was far from clear-cut when agents arrived on the scene. "He had a working microbiology lab in his home. He did not have an art exhibit in his home. We also had a dead body," says Maureen Dempsey, spokesperson for the Buffalo field office of the FBI. "We didn't know what was in there. That's why we had to cordon off the house." The bacteria that Kurtz had in his house had been used in the past to simulate dangerous bacteria for research purposes - which...
...since moved away. "We took him to Canada, where he'd be safe," says Kurtz, smiling. The exhibit will probably move to Berlin and New York City next. And it may grow. Kurtz and his attorneys are still fighting to get back the three computers, 25 books and assorted lab equipment the government seized four years ago. The FBI says those items will be returned after the normal paperwork process is complete...
Cullen and his team were able to replicate the intricate process using lab mice. They started by identifying the tiniest components of the HSV-1 strain. In its latent stage, HSV-1 produces a single molecular product, called latency-associated transcript RNA, or LAT RNA. Unlike most messenger RNA, LAT RNA doesn't produce proteins, so scientists have never been able to determine LAT RNA's exact function. But by inserting the LAT RNA into mice, Cullen found that it breaks down into even smaller strands called microRNA. Researchers then discovered that it was the microRNA that blocked production...
