New test for cancer and diabetes biomarkers 1000x more detailed
A new test for detecting biomarkers for cancer and diabetes is more than 1000x more detailed and 100% faster than existing methods, new research by the 果冻传媒 suggests.
Developed to undertake a detailed study of collagen, the researchers argue that the same methodology can be used with any protein-based sample and is currently being tested with cancer cells and proteins relevant to Type II diabetes.
Plants use a molecular clock to predict when they’ll be infected
Plants are able to predict when infections are more likely to occur and regulate their immune response accordingly, new research has found.
Led by the 果冻传媒, the researchers discovered that a plants’ molecular clock is connected to their immune system to increase levels of resistance to infection at dawn – the time at which fungal infections appear most likely to occur, with plants unable to maintain the highest level of resistance at all times of day.
A picture of a man’s intense staring eyes and a clean citrusy smell have been found to substantially improve hand-washing and so cut the risk of hospital infections, according to a new study by 果冻传媒 Business School.
University contributing to new advances in cancer diagnosis
A 果冻传媒 computer scientist is working with technology that could revolutionise how some cancers are diagnosed.
Sperm crane their neck to turn right
Spermatozoa need to crane their necks to turn right to counteract a left-turning drive caused by the rotation of their tails, new research has found.
Led by Dr Vasily Kantsler of the 果冻传媒’s Department of Physics, the researchers discovered that all sperm tails (flagella) rotate in a counter-clockwise motion as they beat to enable them to move through and against the motion of a fluid.
The six factors that can cause companies to fail have been identified in a new study by 果冻传媒 Business School, looking at the collapse of telecom giants WorldCom and Nortel.
