WEBResearchers have uncovered how our brain reacts to and recognises music. The research shows that listening to music sets off a complex chain reaction of events in the brain —a discovery that may one day be used to help screen for dementia.
DNA vs. RNA – 5 Key Differences and Comparison
WEBDec 18, 2020 · DNA is a much longer polymer than RNA. A chromosome, for example, is a single, long DNA molecule, which would be several centimetres in length when unraveled. RNA molecules are variable in length, but much shorter than long DNA polymers. A large RNA molecule might only be a few thousand base pairs long. Sugar.
Trends, Applications and Advances in Spatial Transcriptomics
WEBMay 17, 2021 · First is resolution. The current lack of single cell and subcellular resolution is a significant limitation to applying spatial information in the most useful way. Second, MERFISH can detect nearly all of the transcripts from the selected gene panel while other spatial technologies have very low detection efficiency.
New Insights Into How Cells Transport Their Waste for Recycling
WEBJun 21, 2021 · Scientists have gained a deeper insight into the intricacies of autophagy, the process in which cells degrade and recycle cellular components. Their findings describe how the "trash bags" in a cell – called autophagosomes – are tagged to direct their movement to the cellular "recycling plants" where waste is processed.
Recent Advances in Therapeutic Antibody Screening
WEBMay 31, 2023 · Recent advances in computational methods have led to significant advances in antibody design by providing better and faster results than traditional approaches. Philip M. Kim, a professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto, says, “ Basically, if you're screening computational designs, you're …
New Tech for Cervical Cancer Screening Could Replace Pap …
WEBMar 31, 2021 · Almost all cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV, or human papillomavirus. Detecting precancer changes in the body gives doctors a chance to cure what could otherwise become a deadly cancer. Pap smears, which were introduced in the 1940s, are subjective and not always reliable. The tests, which can detect about 80% of …
The Immune System | Technology Networks
WEBCancer and the Immune System. More than 100 years ago, Nobel prize-winning German physician and scientist, Paul Ehrlich suggested that the incidence of cancer would be significantly higher if it wasn’t for our immune system – bringing to light immune cells’ incredible ability to recognize, target, seek out, and destroy cancerous cells.
