Artificial Antibodies To Treat Lung Cancer
Simpler to manufacture than typical antibodies, the repebody is a potentially cheaper lung cancer drug.
When Nanoparticles Collide
By simulating them atom by atom, researchers have accurately predicted how palladium nanoparticles behave when they collide.
Pan-Asian Trials Could Replace Domestic Studies
Improved adherence to ICH guidelines means that data from Asia-wide trials could be extrapolated to specific countries.
Fatty Acid Transport Proteins Linked To Schizophrenia & Autism
Mutations in fatty acid binding proteins resulting in disrupted lipid transport to the brain could be the common factor underlying both schizophrenia and autism.
PandaX And The Search For Dark Matter
China joins the search for dark matter with PandaX, a large liquid-xenon detector located deep underground in the China Jin-Ping Underground Laboratory.
How Fussy Pandas Maintain A Balanced Bamboo Diet
A study of six pandas over six years shows that they migrate in order to switch between bamboo species which provide them with different nutrients required for successful breeding.
Captive Pandas Have Good Genes
Pandas kept in captivity have good levels of genetic diversity, making it unnecessary to capture more pandas from the wild.
A Microbial Census Of A Sake Brewery
An understanding of the microbial communities involved at each stage of sake production could lead to safer and more consistent brewing methods.
Climate Change Models Spot On, Scientists Say
Although global warming appears to have slowed down in the last 15 years, scientists say that model projections are accurate, once the El Niño-La Niña oscillation is accounted for.
