A synthetic biology company called Huue is going forward to create dye’s from bacteria. The cool part is that they are taking machinery that is in plants and introducing them into bacteria.An advantage is that you could manipulate and then come up with new dyes. The dye Huue has started with is called Indigo and…
8 pillars according to Kent L. Thornburg, MS, PhD, FAPS, Oregon Health & Science University Pillar 1: We all carry a genetic burden from our parents and grandparents, with most money spent on late-stage prevention rather than early-stage prevention. Pillar 2: Birthweight associations reveal that average-term births are least associated with disease, while high- and…
Learning Biology is an evolving process. The science keeps changing towards a greater understanding and sometimes the conclusions that were drawn are not always right. For example, blood letting or bleeding a person used to be the treatment for some diseases. That was an acceptable form of treatment but now we wonder as to what…
PET is used in drug discovery: PET in patient selection Process: Cyclotron is used, chemistry and formulation and then imaging and analysis. PET Takes time to make the probe: 20 mins to make the probe For brain usually short half life is used – Carbon 11 – 20 minutes, Fluorine 18 109 minutes, Nitrogen 13…
Brain neuron organization has been investigated since a long time and it had been very confusing for scientists trying to determine the organization among a mass of neurons. Vernon Mountcastle’s discovery of a column of neuron paved the way for understanding of the brain. In 1957 he made the radical discovery that the columnar pattern…
Biology is complex. The cell or the organism has to respond to a wide variety of external stimuli and respond. The stimuli aggregation and response obviously happen at the brain and neuron level but also at the cellular level. Dr Drew Andy of Standford University has created biological transistors based upon biological transcription that happens…
