Main Exhibits | Bacteria This site brings together many links on bacteria, bacteriology, and related topics available on the web. It also provides crystal-clear information about many aspects of bacteria. If you're unfamiliar with the subject, here's a start: Bacteria are living things that are neither plants nor animals, but belong to a group all by themselves. They are very small-individually not more than one single cellhowever there are normally millions of them together, for they can multiply really fast. Choose from the three main menues at the top the Main exhibits, to find general information on bacteria, the Bacterial species files, to find lists of links about specific bacteria, or the Special feature files, for some fun reading. BREAKING NEWS: Trudy Wassenaar, the curator of this museum, has published a book about - what else? This site was produced with financial support from the Foundation for Bacteriology (Prof. Waksman Foundation for Microbiology
Welcome to Crime & Clues - StumbleUpon Documentary Movies Protein family key to aging, cancer The list of aging-associated proteins known to be involved in cancer is growing longer, according to research by investigators at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The new study, published Oct. 17 in Cancer Cell, identifies the protein SIRT2 as a tumor suppressor linked to gender-specific tumor development in mice. Along with two other "sirtuin" proteins previously linked to cancer, the new finding suggests the existence of a rare "family" of tumor suppressors. Cancer is primarily a disease of aging, with the majority of cancer cases occurring in people over 50. In the late-1990s, sirtuins were linked to extended lifespan observed in several species maintained on a calorically restricted diet. "The single most important prognostic factor in cancer is increasing age," said Gius, a professor of Radiation Oncology and associate professor of Cancer Biology at Vanderbilt-Ingram.

This Behind the Scenes article was provided to LiveScience in partnership with the National Science Foundation. Fifteen small sundew plants perch on a windowsill collecting sunlight and eating meat in the lab of Mingjun Zhang on the University of Tennessee's Knoxville campus. Sundew plants are carnivores, consuming insects by capturing them with small adhesive balls on the ends of their tentacles. The tentacles and their adhesive properties may be nature's design for catching insects, but Zhang's research team hopes that one day this same adhesive can help attach your grandmother's replacement hip or your artificial knee without fear that your bodies will reject it. Post-doctoral researcher Scott Lenaghan explained that the idea behind this research at the Nano Bio-systems and Bio-mimetics Lab is to learn from biological principles and apply engineering along the way to develop an end product that uses these compounds and principles to advance technology.

Explore Forensics Author: Jack Claridge - Updated: 16 January 2014| Comment In today’s ever changing criminal world the use of computers for fraud and the pursuit of other crimes has increased to dramatic proportions. So much so that specialist departments have been formed to help deal with the problem of computer crime.

With all of the money donated to 9-11 victims, why are the health needs of those who were first to report to Ground Zero being ignored? Tall buildings shatter in 10 seconds, while steel beams buckle as if crushed by Superman and a volcano of ash darkens the sky. Out of the grieving thousands left behind on September 11th, a small group of activist families emerged to demand answers. A Canadian film maker goes to Mexico to film the struggle of the people of Chiapas, led by Marcos, a university philosophy professor from the city turned revolutionary. In a film so controversial that U.S. media won't even mention it, this Irish producer provides eyewitness testimony claiming that U.S. troops were complicit in the massacre of 3,000 Taliban prisoners during the Afghan War.
