Nanozyme
‘Nanozyme’ nanoparticles can be programmed to target different diseasesJuly 19, 2012 Nanozyme, a colloidal nanoparticle with a diameter of 48 nm and a core/shell structure consisting of a 13-nm gold nanoparticle core and a shell of single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides (credit: Z. Wang et al./University of Florida/PNAS) University of Florida researchers have moved a step closer to treating diseases on a cellular level by creating a nanoparticle that can be programmed to shut down the genetic production line that cranks out disease-related proteins. In laboratory tests, these newly cr... mais »

Colon Cancer
Genetic Aberrations Seen as Path to Stop Colon CancerBy GINA KOLATAPublished: July 18, 2012 More than 200 researchers investigating colon cancer tumors have found genetic vulnerabilities that could lead to powerful new treatments. The hope is that drugs designed to strike these weak spots will eventually stop a cancer that is now almost inevitably fatal once it has spread. Scientists increasingly see cancer as a genetic disease defined not so much by where it starts — colon, liver, brain, breast — but by genetic aberrations that are its Achilles’ heel. And with a detailed understand... mais »

About 5.3 million of the 57 million deaths worldwide in 2008 could be attributed t... mais »

O Som do Bóson
Qual é o som do bóson de Higgs? curiosa ideia (conhecida como “sonificação de dados”) foi levada a cabo por um grupo de cientistas europeus. Por meio de algoritmos e programas específicos, eles usaram um gráfico que indicava a energia das colisões de partículas do experimento como base para uma criar uma partitura.Nos últimos dias, você provavelmente leu várias matérias sobre o bóson de Higgs e (supostamente) aprendeu bastante sobre ele. O que aconteceria se os dados coletados pelos pesquisadores fossem transformados em… música? “Ela oferece a mesma informação qualitativa e quanti... mais »
