The United States – the American industries are turning towards to a new energy. After the rise in oil prices, they decided to invest in a new fuel made from algae.
Two giants of American industry have partnered with companies offering biofuels. Dow Chemical has partnered with Algenol Biofuels and ExxonMobil have partnered with biotechnology company Synthetic Genomics. The world’s oil gaint has agreed to adopt green energy by agreeing to invest $ 600 million for this new biofuel.
Emil Jacobbs, vice president of ExxonMobil said: “The world’s energy needs require …

The team of Dr. Klatzmann of the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris has discovered that in the early days of cancer development, the human immune system does not recognize these cells as cells to be eliminated, but as normal cells to be protect.
The premise of “the immunosurveillance” Cancer by the immune system has been an idea formulated by scientists a century back. Under this assumption, the immune system would be able to treat the cancer cells as abnormal and to eliminate them.
The Study by the team of Dr. …

Dust storms on Mars are accompanied by lightning discharges, for the first time revealed signs of electrical discharges on the planet with a new detector that is installed on a terrestrial radio system, Deep Space Networ.
Although scientists have been virtually assured of the existence of lightning on Mars, to detect them using direct observation has not yet succeeded. Only now, the new detector installed on a 34-meter radio telescope, scientists were able to make it clear that Dusty storm on Mars On 8 June 2006 was accompanied by lightning discharges …

Because of the complexity and cost of chromosome analysis, its use is ordinarily limited to cases with specific indications. Apart from the specific phenotypes, in which chromosome analysis is a standard part of clinical evaluation, there are also some nonspecific general clinical indications that suggest a need for cytogenetic analysis:
1. A number of problems of early growth and development. Failure to thrive, developmental delay, dysmorphic facies, multiple malformations, short stature, ambiguous genitalia, and mental retardation are frequent findings in children with chromosome abnormalities, although not restricted to that group. Unless …

France – The team of Joel Drevet, CNRS unit, at the University of Clermont-Ferrand has identified an antioxidant protein (GPx5) that protects the immature sperm as they leave the testicle.
Sperm formed in the testicles, acquire the ability to fertilize in the epididymis, where they complete their maturation. At this stage of maturation, the weakest sperm is subject to an oxidative stress that can damage their DNA. The researchers discovered that the GPx5 protein, produced in the tissues of the epididymis, partly protects the spermatozoa from this stress during their maturation …
