The Brain Tumor Laboratory is a unique environment for basic science researchers, medical students, international research fellows and neurosurgeons to take a multidisciplinary approach to understanding basic biology, and to develop new therapies to treat brain tumors. The current research focuses on the two types of tumors that together account...
The Biology of Bubbles and CrashesThe Biology of Bubbles and CrashesI think the last paragraph especially the last line says it all! Thanks for a humorouse and insightful article.
The Find: Recent research finds that male hormones might help explain the risk-taking behavior that underlies market bubbles and crashes The Source: Research from the University of Cambridge in this week's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The Takeaway: Women...
All of the presidential contenders have tapped into the online social networking craze. Obama has 174,285 friends on My-Space. Clinton has just 56,090, and Giuliani is the candidate equivalent of the nerdy freshman with a mere 3,085 friends. What does this have to do with business? Nothing. That was the...
Biological evolutionary processes select for heritable behaviors providing a survival and reproductive advantage. Accordingly, how we behave is, at least in part, affected by the evolutionary history of our species. This research uses evolutionary psychology as the theoretical perspective for exploring the relationship between a heritable biological characteristic testosterone level...
Ever since its invention, atomic force microscopy AFM has revolutionized the field of interfacial surface science by enabling direct, high-resolution visualization of surface morphology in various solutions and gas environments. With the advent of the new technologies simplifying the preparation and handling of numerous sample types, the use of this...
Systems Biology Markup Language SBML is gaining broad usage as a standard for representing dynamical systems as data structures. The open source statistical programming environment R is widely used by biostatisticians involved in microarray analyses. An interface between SBML and R does not exist, though one might be useful to...
This white paper deals with Glycosylation that can have a profound influence on the function of a variety of eukaryotic cells. In particular, it can affect signal transduction and cell-cell communication properties and thus shape critical cell decisions, including the regulation of differentiation and apoptosis. Regulation of glycosylation has multiple...
Due in large measure to the explosive progress in molecular biology, biology has become arguably the most exciting scientific field. The first half of the 21st century is sometimes referred to as the 'era of biology', analogous to the first half of the 20th century, which was considered to be...
This paper, is addressed primarily to engineers and mathematicians with an interest in control theory, argues that entirely new theoretical problems arise naturally when addressing questions in the field of systems biology. Concomitant with these advances, leading biologists have recognized that new systems-level knowledge is urgently required. The potential impact...
Biologists are increasingly recognizing that computational modelling is crucial for making sense of the vast quantities of complex experimental data that are now being collected. The systems biology field needs agreed-upon information standards if models are to be shared, evaluated and developed cooperatively. SBML has become a de facto standard...
This paper summarizes the latest innovation in the field of Tissue Engineering. Genetic science has provided some of the most astounding research breakthroughs of recent years, often accompanied by high-profile debate of the ethical issues involved. Now, clinical success in the regeneration of bone, cartilage and skin is being achieved,...
This white paper discusses the results that provide fundamental insights into the role of sialic acid metabolism in apoptosis by demonstrating that ManNAc analogs can modulate apoptosis both indirectly via hydroxyl-group effects and directly through N-acyl-group effects. This work explore the structure-activity relationship of ManNAc analogs on cell viability and...
Few animals are at greater risk from an unfortunate confluence of global changes, widespread disease, and a host of problems of human origin. Among these many risks to the continued existence of turtles is that from oil spills. The intent of the paper is to present a basic overview of...
From the executive summary: ‘Adaptation is a dynamic process of mutual influence. All creatures act on their environments, and their environments, in turn, acts on them. They are all engaged in co-creation in the offices and in the families by virtue of the influences one exerts on each other. Adaptive...
