...vain. See, the Inca are still pretty mysterious. And the girl--they call her Juanita--has plenty to tell the historians. About how the Inca lived. How they dressed. The crazy things they believed in. And all that ice preserved her tissues. If there's any intact DNA, the molecular-biology boys will have a field day. She's important, all right. So important that some Peruvian scientists didn't want to lend her out. Thought traveling to the States might damage the evidence. Lucky for science, it didn...
...addition to maintaining the importance of education, Tosteson has vastly strengthened the school's Molecular Research Department and increased cooperation in that area with other institutions like MIT, Fineberg said...
...aspects of medicine and the other health professions," Tosteson said in a letter to the Medical School faculty and staff. "These changes are by no means over but continuing to accelerate. We have much to learn about how to bring the power and subtlety of the new cellular and molecular medicine to the cost-effective personal benefit of those whom we serve...
...Cuban institutes dedicated to the biological sciences. The center--along with its marketing arm, a quasi-corporate entity called Heber Biotec--now employs more than 1,200 technicians and scientists. "We don't have an institute of this size devoted to biotechnology in all Australia," marvels Peter Willadsen, a molecular biologist who directs a center on animal diseases in Indooroopilly, Australia...
CIGB scientists also tried to bolster sagging industrial productivity. Molecular biologist Manuel Raices helped develop a recombinant enzyme that dissolves dextran, a sticky substance that gums up the sugar-refining process. In tests conducted by local sugar mills, the enzyme reduced oil consumption up to 45%. Now Raices is working with Swedish researchers on an enzyme that digests lignin, a gluelike material that bedevils paper manufacturers...
