Home About Science Store Twitter Subscribe Perspectives on computational biology methods May 31, 2010 There have been impressive advances in computational methods , allowing researchers to better understand biological and physiological systems at the atomic level . In its latest Perspectives in General Physiology series , the Journal of General Physiology JGP offers an in-depth look at several of these methods and the advantages of each as applied to membrane proteins , with special focus on ion channels . The Perspectives appear in the June issue www.jgp.org The main focus of computational biology is to develop mathematical modeling and computational techniques to better analyze biological systems . As guest editor Benoit Roux University of Chicago explains , no single method can provide

A compost heap is home to a complex ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, other microorganisms and invertebrates which break down organic matter.
Artificial life has begun with a self-replicating bacterium powered by a synthetic genome promising better drugs, vaccines and greener fuels.

The development of the germ theory of disease perhaps took longer than it should have, but its impact on modern medicine has been profound.
A compost heap supports a complex and dynamic ecological food-web of microorganisms which break down organic matter and release nutrients to create humus.
Bacteria are typically grown in isolated cultures, with one type of bacteria grown on each plate. Therefore, the growing medium must initially be sterile.
Hollis Cline, Ph.D. will speak as part of the College’s Distinguished Biomedical Scholar Lecture Series on Thursday, May 20. Cline’s talk is entitled “Building Brain Circuits,” and will be held in Urmila Sahai Seminar Room (2117 MERF) at 4 pm. The talk is sponsored by the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics.
Cline received her Ph.D. [...]
Congratulations to the 2010 Research Week poster session winners! Both poster sessions were again a large success, featuring over 100 participants each day. Winners were recognized by College and University leadership April 14 during the annual Research Week awards ceremony.
Below, view award winners from the Carver College of Medicine, Institute for Clinical and Translational Science, [...]
In an effort to make Research Week seminars available to all campus investigators, the 2010 talks are now available for viewing online. Many of the videos utilize a new lecture-capture system recently implemented on the CCOM campus. The system offers video footage of speakers along side a screen capture of Powerpoint slides and other visual [...]
The Gram, Ziehl Neelsen acid fast, and endospore stains are differential tests used to help identify bacteria. Here's how they work.
Cases of Lyme disease, caused by deer ticks, are on the increase in the U.S. Staying vigilant is the best way to avoid infection.

Rating : 0.0 5 0 votes cast Story : Summary The researchers discovered that viruses can exploit the bodys DNA dampening its antiviral immune response and allowing infection to take hold more easily . Scientists funded by Cancer Research UK and the Medical Research Council at the UCL Cancer Institute showed this happened with the Kaposi sarcomaherpesvirus which causes the cancer Kaposi Sarcoma and also with the herpessimplex virus which causes cold sores .
