One of the research teams from The University of Texas, Austin, has successfully demonstrated an all-new process of protein sequencing that happens to be more sensitive than the already-existing technology. Moreover, such a way also helps identify molecules of an individual protein, instead of processing a million molecules simultaneously. The new biological advancement proves to be impactful in the field of research. It also makes it efficient and competent enough to disclose the latest biomarkers to diagnose cancer and many other diseases. Furthermore, they also enhance the primary understanding of the way healthy cells function. (more…)

Archaeon kann Meteoritengestein aufnehmen – und sich davon ernähren
Das Archaeon Metallosphaera sedula kann außerirdisches Material aufnehmen und verarbeiten. Das zeigt ein internationales Team um Astrobiologin Tetyana Milojevic, die mikrobielle Fingerabdrücke auf dem Meteoritengestein untersucht. Die ForscherInnen kommen außerdem zum Schluss, dass M. sedula das Gestein von Meteoriten schneller besiedelt als jenes irdischen Ursprungs. Die Ergebnisse erscheinen in Scientific Reports.
