Nothing here Folks
Some people say the Net is a great wasteland, all those billions of bits and bytes of data zooming around in all directions, without form or content. Such people are full of something savvy computer professionals call "hooey".
Fact is, it's almost impossible to spend any amount of time on the Net without accomplishing something, even when you don't want to. Now, doing nothing - that takes focus and discipline. Sounds odd, but the hardcore slacker must be the very picture of diligence in his fight against that old bugaboo - productivity. Let your guard down for a second and you'll be cal ...

Cellulite: Can We Really Get Rid of It?
It has been the bane of every women's existence since the dawn of time
- the affliction known as cellulite. We all have it to varying degrees,
and it seems to get worse as we get older in many cases. So, should we
just resign ourselves to the fact that it is here to stay, or is there a way to fight and get rid of cellulite?
Thankfully, the answer is yes, we can fight cellulite, or at least the
appearance of cellulite, through several therapeutic treatments that
are available on the market today. It is not, however, a one-time deal. Once you stop the treatments, the ce ...

Site-specific biotinylation of RNA molecules by transcription using unnatural base pairs.
Publication Date: 2005 PMID: 16113238Authors: Moriyama, K. - Kimoto, M. - Mitsui, T. - Yokoyama, S. - Hirao, I.Journal: Nucleic Acids ResDirect site-specific biotinylation of RNA molecules was achieved by specific transcription mediated by unnatural base pairs. Unnatural base pairs between 2-amino-6-(2-thienyl)purine (denoted by s) and 2-oxo(1H)pyridine (denoted by y), or 2-amino-6-(2-thiazolyl)purine (denoted as v) and y specifically function in T7 transcription. Using these unnatural base pairs, the substrate of biotinylated-y (Bio-yTP) was selectively incorporated into RNA, opposite s or v in the DNA templates, by T7 RNA polymerase. This method was applied to the immobilization of an RNA aptamer on sensor chips, and the aptamer accurately recognized its target protein. This direct site-specific biotinylation will provide a tool for RNA-based biotechnologies.
JILA Study Of RNA Dynamics May Help In Drug Design
Biophysicists have developed a method for studying, in real time, a nanoscale "docking and undocking" interaction between small pieces of ribonucleic acid (RNA), a technique that may be broadly useful in studying structural changes in RNA that affect its function. The research at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of Colorado at Boulder, may have applications in the design of effective new drugs based on small RNA strands.
RNA? Whats that?
If you've read any of Marty's emails on various IDS mailing lists lately, you've may have noticed him discussing RNA. Many may ask, so whats this RNA thing? Surely not ribonucleic acid you say. Marty and his gang at Sourcefire have been working on a new product, Real-time Network Awareness ™ (RNA). A whitepaper discussing the technology behind the name is available. Marty will be giving a webinar discussing RNA. The webinar is free, but requires registration
Penn study finds a new role for RNA in human immune response
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have published the first study to test the role of RNA chemical modifications on immunity. They have demonstrated that RNA from bacteria stimulates immune cells to orchestrate destruction of invading pathogens. The authors concluded that the potential of RNA to activate immunity seems to be inversely correlated with the extent of its chemical modification.

Lab Tests - What Can They Tell You About Your Health?
(NC)-It's one of the most common phrases you hear from your doctor: "I just want to run a few tests." Laboratory tests are among the most important aspects of modern health care. The College of American Pathologists estimates that "laboratory services drive more than 70 percent of clinical decisions from diagnosis through therapy and prognosis." Lab tests are carried out to measure or detect substances in a person's body. These tests are important and are used by doctors to make informed decisions about your health and the appropriate treatment required. For some conditions, there is jus ...

IHD - Serious SKin Care
Serious skin care vs. winter weather, cleansers, and stress. Serious skin care fights the moisture stolen from skin. The latest intensive creams are like dryness police, working night and day to protect and replenish.
When it comes to moisturizers, they can be too rich or too thick. Serious skin care goes well beyond cold cream and petroleum jelly, today’s skin care products are remedies for dry skin and are packed with sophisticated ingredients. Now, natural skin care companies think they have fixed the final frontier, the ten-ply cashmere of hydration: super rich, long-lasting, and ul ...

Depressed? It’s Gotta All Be Our Parents’ Fault!
A newspaper article from the Associated Press a while back reports that scientists say they’ve found a gene (CHRM2) that’s linked to alcoholism and depression. An expert from another organization says that if these preliminary findings hold true that it will provide another “potential target for developing new drugs to treat depression and alcoholism”. Well, I’m excited now… Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m sure there are many, many people who came into this earthly existence so hard-wired with these tendencies that the proper drug or combination of drugs would be extremely beneficial. And commo ...
