Antigen “density array” picks up more antibodies

Saving lives: who picks up the tab?

Collaboration on research picks up steam.

New & noteworthy The second Osteopathic Collaborative Clinical Trials Initiative conference was held in Orlando, Florida, on November 2 and 3, 2000. The conference was sponsored by groups broadly representative of educational and research activities in the profession, including the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM), the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Burea...

Lipid research picks up speed on the slopes of Taos.

The 2002 Keystone Symposium on "Regulation of Cellular Responses by Lipid Mediators" provided a lively and active forum to discuss research in lipid signaling. This meeting review can provide only a glimpse into the diversity of research presented. Here we have chosen to highlight a group of exciting presentations describing novel features of the temporal and spatial regulation of phosphoinosit...

Electrical Signal Picks Up a Magnet ’ s Heartbeat

A strong interaction between light and a magnet can produce a hybrid system with energy levels distinct from either the light or the magnet on its own. In this “strong coupling” regime, quantum information can be easily transferred from the light to the magnet and vice versa. This feature could be useful in quantum information technologies or as a way to use one component (say, the light) to pr...

Development of Recombinant Antigen Array for Simultaneous Detection of Viral Antibodies

Protein microarrays have been developed to study antibody reactivity against a large number of antigens, demonstrating extensive perspective for clinical application. We developed a viral antigen array by spotting four recombinant antigens and synthetic peptide, including glycoprotein G of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 and 2, phosphoprotein 150 of cytomegalovirus (CMV), Rubella virus (RV) c...
