New technique used to discover new viruses in poultry
In a search to find better ways to control viral enteric diseases in birds, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists have unearthed a treasure trove of previously known and unknown viruses in poultry by using a powerful new molecular tool called metagenomics.
New technique reveals unseen information in DNA code
Imagine reading an entire book, but then realizing that your glasses did not allow you to distinguish "g" from "q." What details did you miss? Geneticists faced a similar problem with the recent discovery of a "sixth nucleotide" in the DNA alphabet.
Possible Diagnostic Technique For Lung Cancer Screening
The most recent research released in June's Journal of Thoracic Oncology says molecular biomarkers in the tissue and fluid lining the lungs might be an additional predictive technique for lung cancer screening. Since the National Lung Screening Trial found that 96.4 percent of the positive CT screening results were false ...

Researchers eager to teach Swedes about best brushing technique
Almost all Swedes brush their teeth, yet only one in ten does it in a way that effectively prevents tooth decay. Now researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, are eager to teach Swedes how to brush their teeth more effectively.

New screening technique yields elusive compounds to block immune-regulating enzyme
LA JOLLA, CA May 10, 2012 Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have found the first chemical compounds that act to block an enzyme that has been linked to inflammatory conditions such as asthma and arthritis, as well as some inflammation-promoted cancers. The new ...

It’s a trap! New laboratory technique captures microRNA targets
LA JOLLA, Calif., May 9, 2012 Human cells are thought to produce thousands of different microRNAs (miRNAs)small pieces of genetic material that help determine which genes are turned on or off at a given time. miRNAs are an important part of normal cellular function, but they can also contribute ...
Locating Rare Pancreatic Tumors With New Imaging Technique
A non-invasive way to detect the exact location of very small life-threatening tumors in the pancreas (insulinomas) has been discovered by a team of researchers in Switzerland. This new technique will help surgeons to successfully remove the tumors that can be less than 1 centimeter in diameter. Professor Emanuel ...
