Instant Skin Cancer Detection British Columbia Cancer Agency (BCCA) scientists developed a new handheld device, licensed to Verisante Technology, that provides instant data about the molecular structure of moles, telling dermatologists whether a biopsy is necessary or not. Melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer, and the only ones that... 31 January 2011 05:02 GMT Molecular Imaging Sees Red Blood Cells Move Harvard University investigators announce the development of a non-invasive imaging technique that can be used to capture images of living tissues at the molecular level. The group reports that it was able to observe the passing of red blood cells through the capillaries of the vascular system.The researchers made th... 6 December 2010 08:28 GMT Green Fluorescent Proteins Work Better with Vibrations The discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein (GFP), a 238-amino-acid structure that is able to emit fluorescent light when blue light is applied on it, has won scientists Martin Chalfie, Osamu Shimomura, and Roger Y. Tsien the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Since then, numerous investigators have sp... 12 November 2009 05:38 GMT
