Pingie: HTTP:: New Stem Cell Gene Splicing Method Created

HTTP:: New Stem Cell Gene Splicing Method Created
--------
Experts from the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research have recently managed to overcome a major obstacle in human embryonic stem cell (ESC) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell research, when they devised a new method of introducing or modifying genes inside them. While this has been relatively easy to do in mice, altering the human genome proved to be infinitely more complicated, and no technique available until now had such a high success rate as the new one. The experts also authored a new paper detailing the find, published in the August 13th issue of the journal Nature Biotechnology. “It's not clear where this hurdle of genetic manipulation lies; it could be purely technical, but it could also be an inherent difference between human and mouse cells. Other people have genetically manipulated these human cells, but the process has been extremely laborious and extremely time consuming. Using the zinc finger nucleases makes the process very easy,” explains W!
hitehead postdoctoral researcher Dirk Hockemeyer, who is also a first author of the Nature paper. Zinc finger nucleases, the authors say, are a relatively unknown class of proteins, which have the ability to facilitate tempering with, or replacement, of existing genes in the human genome. The new study “is a proof of princi...

Pingie: HTTP:: Why Autumn Leaves Are Colored Differently in Europe and the US

HTTP:: Why Autumn Leaves Are Colored Differently in Europe and the US
--------
While European poets and writers have for centuries written about the beauty of the yellow canopies in autumn, their American and Asian counterparts have mostly described the foliages as having a reddish hint to them. The difference is still visible today, and botanists set out to investigate precisely why that is so. According to newly published studies, it would appear that the answer can be traced back to more than 35 million years ago, ScienceDaily informs. An international team of scientists, led by University of Haifa-Oranim Department of Science Education and Biology professor Simcha Lev-Yadun, and University of Kuopio professor Jarmo Holopainen, from Finland, suggests that the amount of chlorophyll pigment in the leaves is the source of the discrepancy, and that the moment of separation between the American/Asian and the European varieties occurred more than 35 million years ago. Details of their investigation appear in the in the latest issue of the Journal New P!
hytologist. The colors that appear in the leaves when autumn comes are not, contrary to popular beliefs, due to the fact that the leaves are dying. In the case of yellow leaves, this simple process occurs â€" as the amount of chlorophyll is diminished, the green pigment no longer retains “supremacy” over...

Pingie: HTTP:: Braille Displays to Be Powered by Artificial Muscles

HTTP:: Braille Displays to Be Powered by Artificial Muscles
--------
The Braille system is one of the most reliable methods of communication between people who can see and those who can't. It relies on the blind touching a series of elevated dots, which dictate what letter or number they “see.” While books written in this language have been around for quite some time, experts have been trying to create a refreshable Braille display, which would be similar to a computer screen. Larger amounts of data could be stored within it, and the large, cumbersome books that blind people now have to use in order to read could become a thing of the past. That goal is now a little closer. According to experts at the NASA-operated Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena, California, artificial muscles could be one possible answer to the problems associated with creating such a display. “I hope that sometime in the future we will have Braille on an iPhone. It will be portable and able to project a picture of a neighborhood popping up in front of!
you in the form of raised dots. A digital Braille operated by artificial muscles could provide for rapid information exchange, such as e-mail, text messaging and access to the web and other electronic databases or archives,” explains Yosi-Bar Cohen. Cohen is the JPL senior researcher who first came up with the ...

Pingie: HTTP:: Earth 039 s Wobble Responsible for Previous GW Events

HTTP:: Earth 039 s Wobble Responsible for Previous GW Events
--------
New evidence uncovered by experts seems to point out the fact that wobbles in our planet's tilt may have been the triggers behind global warming events that took place in prehistoric times. It has for a long time been known that Earth's tilt in regard to the Sun is not stable, and that our planet wobbles as it revolves around the star. This is the first time evidence of this wobble motion influencing global warming and the planet's climate is discovered, ABC News informs. According to a new study, published in the August 14th issue of the respected journal Science, the penultimate ice age did not end when most geologists think it did. Newly uncovered evidence places its end at around 141,000 years ago, which is several thousands of years earlier than first thought. In charge of the research were scientists from the University of Newcastle, in the United Kingdom, led by expert Dr Russell Drysdale. This assumption deserves thorough looking-into, other experts say, because !
it challenges established knowledge that it was the intensity of summer seasons in the Northern Hemisphere that triggered or stopped ice ages. If it turns out to be true, the conclusions of the new study will be the first to show that it was in fact Earth's orientation towards the Sun that triggered all of this. The information t...

Pingie: HTTP:: Nanoflares Cause Gas Around the Sun to Reach Massive Temperatures

HTTP:: Nanoflares Cause Gas Around the Sun to Reach Massive Temperatures
--------
According to a new report released by NASA solar physicists and experts at the Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Maryland, it would appear that solar nanoflares, much smaller than the ones that can wreak havoc back on Earth, are responsible for the million-degree temperatures recorded in the thin, translucent gas of the sun's atmosphere. Nanoflares are nothing but small, sudden bursts of heat and energy, which heat up the gas tremendously.The Sun's outer atmosphere is not made up of chemicals similar to our planet's. It rather comprises of loops of hot gas that arch high above its surface, and which determine the extent of the corona. These arches all contain smaller, individual magnetic “tubes,” and they are heated at millions of degrees Kelvin. This is a bit peculiar, as the Sun's own surface temperature is only about 5,700 degrees Kelvin, which implies that a lot of energy is needed in order to heat the outer layers so significantly.Inside these magnetic tub!
es, sudden bursts of intense energy (the nanoflares) constantly appear and influence the temperature levels around their area of origin. The reason why they have been so difficult to discover until now is that orbit- or ground-based telescopes are not yet advanced enough to detect them individually. Rather, on...

Pingie: HTTP:: Early Risers Wake Up Faster Due to Genetic Mutations

HTTP:: Early Risers Wake Up Faster Due to Genetic Mutations
--------
We all have at least one friend or family members who seems to be unaffected by the flow of time, and who is able to wake up in the morning after only a few hours of sleep. What to others may seem only like a nap is enough for these people to recharge their batteries and go about their day completely rested up, ScienceNow informs. “We've believed for a long time that there's a genetic basis [to this behavior],” explains Washington University in St. Louis (WUSL) neurobiologist Paul Shaw. Investigations have revealed that a genetic mutation is actually the trigger for this ability that early risers have. And it's only recently that experts began unraveling the exact mechanisms that allow some to only rest up for a few hours at night. The basis for this line of research was set up by geneticist Ying-Hui Fu and his team back in 2001, when the expert proved that a mutation in a gene called Per2 was responsible for familial advanced sleep-phase syndrome (FASPS). In this c!
ondition, people sleep the normal average of 8 hours, except that they go to bed very early in the evening, around 6 or 7 pm, and wake up the following morning at 3 or 4 am. “After that was published, a lot of these people [with unusual sleep schedules] came to us. So we started to collect DNA samples,&amp;r...
