Moore's law meets the life sciences
&THE ABILITY TO perform DNA analysis, clinical diagnostics, and biomolecule detection and manipulation using miniaturized devices has many practical applications. Although designing and testing such devices is challenging, researchers and engineers are beginning to build labs on chips (LoCs) with exciting functionality. LoC applications include synthesizing new materials, studying complex cellu...
متن کاملQuantitative biology: where modern biology meets physical sciences
Quantitative methods and approaches have been playing an increasingly important role in cell biology in recent years. They involve making accurate measurements to test a predefined hypothesis in order to compare experimental data with predictions generated by theoretical models, an approach that has benefited physicists for decades. Building quantitative models in experimental biology not only ...
متن کاملWhere Structure Meets Function
5-Hydroxytryptamine 2 (serotonin 2 , 5-HT 2 )-family receptors are important for mediating many physiological functions, including vascular and nonvascular smooth muscle contraction, platelet aggregation, modulation of perception, mood, anxiety, and feeding behavior. A large number of psychopharmaceuticals, including atypical antipsychotic drugs, antidepressants, anxiolytics, and hallucinogens,...
متن کاملWhere transcription meets repair.
DNA damage can be caused by a broad range of agents. Both environmental and cellular damage-inducing factors threaten cellular integrity largely by impinging upon two vital processes: replication and transcription. The interference of replication by DNA damage and the deleterious consequences are relatively well understood (for details see Sancar and Sancar, 1988). Significantly, DNA damage has...
متن کاملWhere science meets society.
T he theme for next week's American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting, " The Nexus: Where Science Meets Society, " reminds us of many events of the past few years that suggest that the relationship between science and society is undergoing significant stress. Some members of the public are finding certain lines of scientific research and their outcomes disquieting...
