2 MSU professors spearhead international water project
...and Tom Voice, are leading an ambitious project to purify the worlds waters. Tarabara and Voice are leading an international partnership of environmental engineers and scientists from two U.S. research universities, two research centers in France, and three institutions in Ukraine and Russia that will cre...QUT's top researchers honored with fellowships
... Dr Martens' research will use nano-technology to purify water. "Water is rapidly becoming Australia's most critical natural resource and there is an urgent need to re-use and recycle water from domestic grey-water and industry waste," he said. Dr Martens said his work aimed to develop photocatalytic w...Not all embryonic stem cell lines are created equal
...d then into mature neurons. They were also able to purify those neurons for study. To probe how the neurons functioned, the researchers developed a culture technique that induced the newly produced neurons to establish synapses with one another. Synapses are the critical junctions between neurons where muc...UCLA scientists produce functioning neurons from human embryonic stem cells
...un said. Were excited because we have been able to purify so many more neurons out of the cell culture and they were, surprisingly, healthy enough to form synapses. These cells will be excellent for doing gene expression studies and biochemical and protein analyses. Suns method prodded human embryonic st...
