...the tip oscillate up and down to make the antibody disconnect and reconnect and keep the probe moving. A key capability of this technique, Lindsay said, is that it allows researchers to see how components of a cell react on a molecular scale when they experience biological processes, such as their response to a...Ecologist calls for creation of an international panel to assess human behavior

...either available or in development, but there is a disconnect between work in the laboratory and testing in patients. Right now the molecular profile of cancer is hard to recognize in patients, because it is not part of clinical trials nor the way cancer is classified.

...I found that wasn't true. I found there was a huge disconnect between the anti-GMO groups and what the farmers are actually saying," says Chong. "Most of the farmers know next to nothing about agricultural technology. There is a huge disparity from what the anti-GMO groups are saying and what the farmers real...Brain links non-food images with eating -- But only when hungry, study suggests
... urge to eat even once we're full. An inability to disconnect the anticipation of food from various sights, sounds, or other stimuli may play a role in compulsive eating, according to author Jay Gottfried of the Institute of Neurology in London. The brain's connection-making tendencies, or "conditioning," may ...Smaller food portions may explain the 'French paradox' of rich foods and a svelte population
...ADELPHIA -- The "French paradox" -- the perplexing disconnect between France's rich cuisine and slender population -- can be explained in part by portions that are significantly smaller in French restaurants and supermarkets than in their American counterparts. So say researchers at the University of Pennsylva...From da Vinci to Monet: Understanding how artists can manipulate the human visual system
...of brilliance; it's so striking because there is a disconnect in our visual system between the color and luminance pathways," Livingstone said. Luminance refers to the quality of how light something appears, independent of color. It is equivalent of what appears in black and white photos (grayscales), so in a p...Computational geneticists revisit a mystery in evolution
...'s natural that the first attempts to explain this disconnect between great genotypic variation and little phenotypic variation was through natural selection.'' In 1942, even before it was known that genes were made of DNA, British biologist Conrad H. Waddington coined the term canalization to describe the ''fu...'Biomedical switch' regulates how cells stick together and communicates
