Early screening for prostate cancer could become as easy for men as personal pregnancy testing is for women, thanks to UC Irvine research published today in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
After more than a decade of work, UC Irvine chemists have created a way to clearly identify...
In the fight against cancer, knowing the enemy's exact identity is crucial for diagnosis and treatment, especially in metastatic cancers, those that spread between organs and tissues. Now chemists led by Vincent Rotello at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a rapid, sensitive...
Since the 1990s, a green fluorescent protein known simply as GFP has revolutionized cell biology. Originally found in a Pacific Northwest jellyfish, GFP allows scientists to visualize proteins inside of cells and track them as they go about their business. Two years ago, biologists who...

Chemists at New York University and China's Nanjing University have created a DNA assembly line that has the potential to create novel materials efficiently on the nanoscale. Their work is reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature. "An industrial assembly line includes a factory...
If we were to use an external circuit with a finite resistance, this system would be analogous to a battery-powered appliance. In such a system, temperature doesn’t just affect thermodynamic quanities, but it can also change the rates at which the electrode reactions occur (a kinetic effect)...
