Diamond Light Source Purchases Multiple Electron Microscopes from FEI

Posted: Published on June 26th, 2014

The U.K.s national synchrotron now has a complete cryo-EM workflow for integrative structural biology to explore essential biological questions at the atomic and molecular scale. Hillsboro, Ore. and Oxfordshire, U.K. FEI (NASDAQ: FEIC) today announced its largest order for Life Sciences - Diamond Light Source, one of the most advanced synchrotron light sources in the world, has ordered two Titan Krios cryo transmission electron microscopes (TEMs), a Scios DualBeam FIB/SEM (focused ion beam/scanning electron microscope) and a Talos cryo-TEM. These microscopes form the core of the electron biology facility (EBIC) that will provide Diamond with a complete cryo-electron microscopy (EM) workflow that will be used in conjunction with other structural biology techniques to enable new insights into viruses and cellular proteins. Professor David Stuart, director for Life Sciences at Diamond Light Source, states, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) are extremely powerful techniques that can resolve atomic-scale structure, but can only be applied to a subset of biological molecules and complexes. Cryo-EM can resolve structures down to the sub-nanometer, molecular-scale, and can look at just about anything, including large multimolecular complexes. In the simplest sense, integrative structural biology uses cryo-EM to provide the overview, and XRD and NMR … Continue reading →

Tarboro High students tour Vidant labs

Posted: Published on June 26th, 2014

Students enrolled in Advanced Placement Biology at Tarboro High School had the opportunity to visit the laboratory facilities at Vidant Edgecombe Hospital in Tarboro. These students were able to see the jobs related to health occupations and to understand what actually happens to the blood donated at blood drives. I took this class on a trip to Vidant Edgecombe Hospital to tour the laboratory facilities and observe the application of these concepts in a real-world setting, said Deneasha Strother, AP Biology Teacher at Tarboro High. They visited the microbiology, chemistry, hematology, and blood/plasma labs so they could see the potential jobs available if they were to obtain a Biology or related science degree. Strother said although this is the first year she has coordinated this trip, she was amazed at how much the tour grabbed the attention of the students who attended. Students became interested in pursuing a career in these fields, she said. They were able to ask the staff about the educational requirements of the job. They were also able to ask the staff about the stresses of each of these jobs and about the common salary. AP Biology students are second-year biology students who have taken Honors … Continue reading →

Researchers treat incarceration as a disease epidemic, discover small changes help

Posted: Published on June 26th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 25-Jun-2014 Contact: Tiffany Trent ttrent@vt.edu 540-231-6822 Virginia Tech The incarceration rate has nearly quadrupled since the U.S. declared a war on drugs, researchers say. Along with that, racial disparities abound. Incarceration rates for black Americans are more than six times higher than those for white Americans, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics. To explain these growing racial disparities, researchers at Virginia Tech are using the same modeling techniques used for infectious disease outbreaks to take on the mass incarceration problem. By treating incarceration as an infectious disease, the scientists demonstrated that small but significant differences in prison sentences can lead to large differences in incarceration rates. The research was published in June in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. Incarceration can be "transmitted" to others, the researchers say. For instance, incarceration can increase family members' emotional and economic stress or expose family and friends to a network of criminals, and these factors can lead to criminal activity. Alternatively, "official bias" leads police and the courts to pay more attention to the incarcerated person's family and friends, thereby increasing the probability they will be caught, prosecuted and processed by the criminal justice system, researchers said. … Continue reading →

C.C. Chu honored for bioengineering research

Posted: Published on June 26th, 2014

June 25, 2014 Provided Professor C.C. Chu, center, was recently inducted as a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) named Cornell fiber scientist C.C. Chu to its College of Fellows, an honor reserved for the worlds top 2 percent of medical and biological engineers from academia, industry and government. Chu, the Rebecca Q. Morgan 60 Professor of Fiber Science and Apparel Design in the College of Human Ecology, was recognized for his development of novel biomaterials for wound closure, burn treatment, drug delivery and other applications for human body repair. Chu, a Cornell professor since 1978, holds 75 national and international patents for his work and has published nearly 200 peer-reviewed research papers. Nominated by his peers, Chu joins a group of roughly 1,500 AIMBE fellows. According to AIMBE, the selection process was especially rigorous this year, with candidates chosen for their contributions to research and engineering, their commitment to public service and their ability to further AIMBEs goals for innovation in health care and human safety. Chu partners with Weill Cornell Medical College and Ithaca campus doctors and engineers … Continue reading →

New MOLAA exhibits focus on surrealistic anatomy, Mexican identity

Posted: Published on June 26th, 2014

A surrealistic look at human anatomy by one of Cuba's most respected contemporary artists and an exploration of Mexican identity through figurative paintings are coming to Long Beach's Museum of Latin American Art this summer. Fabelo's Anatomy, the first solo exhibition in the U.S. by Cuban illustrator, painter and sculptor Roberto Fabelo, and Neomexicanism, a collection of paintings from the 1980s by Mexican artists such as Monica Castillo, Julio Galan and Nahum B. Zenil, will run concurrently Saturday through Sept. 28, sharing the space that formerly housed the Frida Kahlo exhibit. We're very excited to have the opportunity to show the work of one of the most compelling artists of our time, said Stuart Ashman, museum president and CEO, referring to Fabelo. The Fabelo exhibition features more than 50 pieces that include oil and ink paintings on Chinese silk, bronze sculptures and ink on paper all of which focus on human and humanlike anatomy. The highlight of the exhibition is likely the series of hand-colored ink drawings Fabelo created on the pages of an antique anatomy textbook. The artist drew on the anatomy figures and on the text in the book, which dates back to the late 1880s. He created … Continue reading →

6 Greys Anatomy alums who keep busy

Posted: Published on June 26th, 2014

NYC detective Cat Sullivan may be new but she sure looks familiar. Yep, its Chyler Leigh, aka the late Dr. Lexie Grey, back with a stylish hairdo and a gun in NBCs new procedural, Taxi Brooklyn. But Leigh isnt the only Greys Anatomy vet keeping busy. Heres what other alums from Shonda Rhimes enduring medical soap are up to. Consider it a nicotine patch for those of us going through Greys withdrawal. Eric Dane who played Leighs big love, Dr. Mark McSteamy Sloan is also back on the small screen, except hes shifted from hospital horndog to rugged Navy officer as the captain of The Last Ship, which premiered Sunday on TNT. Even after a few seasons as Dr. Teddy Altman, Kim Raver was never fully embraced by Greys fans. So she went back to playing Audrey Raines in the TV franchise that broke her, appearing in 24: Live Another Day. Any hopes of Dr. Addison Montgomery returning to Shonda Rhimes mothership have been dashed by Kate Walshs busy dance card. She was particularly good as an ex-stripper in the FX miniseries Fargo, and this fall shes starring as the titular Bad Judge on NBC (premiering Oct. 2). Lets hope … Continue reading →
