Researchers Apply DNA Biology to Vaccination Technique
Spraying viral genes directly through the skin is a new technique that turns infinitesimal amounts of DNA into an effective vaccine. If approved for use in humans, the new procedure could save lives ... > more -
Microbiologists Find Soap and Water Best for Washing Hands, Removing Germs
Microbiologists tested 14 hand-hygiene agents -- everything from soap and alcohol rubs to plain old tap water -- against hardy bacteria and viruses applied to the hands of 62 volunteers. The study ... > more -
Microbiologist Explores New Use for White Wine
Microbiologist Mark Daeschel is developing a new use for white wine--it is a very good cleaner of stains! The alcohol in wine can efficiently remove countertop stains and clean fruit, a property ... > more -
Entomologists Design Environmentally-Friendly Lawns, Golf Courses
The PGA Golf course at San Francisco's Harding Park is an environmental model, using fewer pesticides than any other PGA course in the country. Taking a cue from entomologists and other scientists, ... > more -
In Hospitals, Air Ducts with Silver-Based Coating Stay Germ-Free
Preventing hospital infections -- from such stubborn bugs as Staphylococcus aureus -- could get a little easier with a new non-toxic, silver-based material. Used in coating, it helps keep hospital ... > more -
Plant Scientists Graft Apple Trees to Select Disease-Resistant Traits
Grafting -- an ancient way of cloning plants -- enables plant scientists to create new varieties of apples. The selected genetic traits allow trees to resist pests with less pesticides, and to make ... > more -
Biologist, Computer Scientist Make 3D Anatomy Images Available Online
