Forensics experts plan to scour every corner of the Cole and the surrounding port area, collecting unexploded fragments of explosive material left by the bomb. Those fragments will then undergo field tests to divine their molecular composition. Investigators will be particularly interested in anything they can learn about the bomb's detonator. Since every assailant has a favored method of wiring a bomb, the detonator's construction could help experts zero in on the bomb's provenance...
...only in recent years did researchers, using powerful new tools of molecular biology, learn that it is a defect in these worms' insulin systems that causes their long life...
...California at Riverside. The active compounds in venom bind with extreme selectivity to molecules on the surfaces of living cells, a property that can be of invaluable use to researchers developing new medicines with better specificity (and thus fewer side effects) or just trying to understand, at the molecular level, the inner workings of living cells...
James E. Davis, who is a senior lecturer on chemistry and chemical biology and on molecular and cellular biology, says he stays because he enjoys teaching, no matter who the students...
Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine are concentrating on a protein known as COX2, which they have shown rises steeply in the brains of patients in the very early stages of the disease. Cells produce COX2 in response to injury, observes Mount Sinai molecular psychiatrist Giulio Pasinetti, who believes it may be COX2--and not beta amyloid--that induces the inflammatory response characteristic of the disease. Anti-inflammatories, in other words, could shortly emerge not only as components of the therapeutic arsenal but also as agents of prevention...
