New blood test could detect lung cancer in its earliest stages
... "ionizes" the blood proteins. The instrument then propels the proteins down a flight tube at high velocity. The manner in which each molecule lands determines its precise mass and hence its level of "expression" in the blood. Next, Patz's team performs an extra step: they take the most significant protein p...NYU Medical Center selects Siemens as strategic partner
...r, said, "The unprecedented scope of our agreement propels NYU's radiology program into an elite group of academic institutions. It will enable us to be at the cutting-edge in imaging research, attract the best trainees and staff, and continue to provide the highest quality patient care." The agreement provi......orn, the layered structure in the spinal cord that propels pain signals up to the brain. Even at the level of individual nerve cells, the response to pain was increased. Spinal cord segments also exhibited an increase in pain input on the left neonatal treated side, including areas that normally would not b...... thefirst glimpses of the molecular machinery that propels neurotransmitters intothe synapse. The key players are a family of proteins called SNAREs (Soluble NSFAttachment protein REceptor). These proteins haven't changed much throughevolution; SNAREs play a similar role in the secretions of even primitive l...
