Cellceutix believes it has found the Holy Grail in cancer research   . . . a compound that activates a tumor suppressor protein known as p53, long regarded as possibly holding the key to future cancer therapies. “Our Kevetrin drug reactivates p53 to its normal function of dictating whether to fix the cell or kill

A team of neuroscientists at Georgetown University Medical Center have found, in animal models, that they can “switch off” epileptic seizures. The findings, published online in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), provide the first evidence that while different types of seizures start in varied areas of the brain, they all can be controlled by

ECC could be a new generation material solution to many mechanical and durability property challenges, substantially contributing to prolonged infrastructure functionalization. In the human body, small wounds are easily treated by the body itself, requiring no further care. For bigger wounds to be healed, the body may need outside assistance. Concrete is like a living

Researchers at New York University College of Dentistry (NYU Dentistry), in collaboration with Rheonix, Inc. (Ithaca, NY), are developing a novel test for Zika virus that uses saliva to identify diagnostic markers of the virus in a fraction of the time of current commercial tests. The test, which was adapted from an existing model developed

CORPUS CHRISTI — A local company has developed a new system that is saving commercial buildings thousands of gallons of water each month. The green system not only helps the city conserve water, but it equals a savings of at least hundreds of dollars a month. Through collaboration the TAMUCC, RHM Chemical installed a test

The most commonly used form of regenerative braking is where a vehicle’s electric motor is used as an electric generator to capture the vehicle’s kinetic energy, which is otherwise lost as heat when braking. The generator converts the kinetic energy into electricity that is then fed back into the vehicle’s battery pack where it is

Taking your temperature can reveal more than a just fever. For instance, analyzing tiny, regular variations in body temperature can provide insight into how blood vessels are constricting and dilating, which is linked to cardiovascular health, and can even shed light on a person’s mental state. But how often do you actually pull out the thermometer

Berkeley Lab-led research breaks major barrier in transistor size by creating gate only 1 nanometer long For more than a decade, engineers have been eyeing the finish line in the race to shrink the size of components in integrated circuits. They knew that the laws of physics had set a 5-nanometer threshold on the size
