Some say the world's population will swell to 9 billion people by 2030 and that will present significant challenges for agriculture to provide enough food to meet demand, says University of Idaho animal scientist Rod Hill. Hill and Larry Branen, a University of Idaho food scientist, organized a symposium during the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting Sunday to explore ways biotechnology could provide healthy and plentiful animal-based foods to meet future demands.
Scientists at the University of Idaho have discovered not only that different species sometimes use the same gene to produce the same adaptation, but also that how they use it can lead to different outcomes.
Researchers are investigating whether viruses that have adapted to higher temperatures – similar to increases due to global warming – can jump species more easily. Their results could shed light on the characteristics of H1N1-like viruses in a world of increasing temperatures.
Three Idaho researchers are recipients of the National Science Foundation's EUREKA Award and the youngest participants in the program's history. They will explore new approaches to gene therapies by using locked nucleic acids or LNAs as invaders to target specific sections of chromosomes.
Frogs around the world are dying from a fungal pathogen perhaps because they don't realize they are sick. In a study conducted at the University of Idaho, scientists found that the immune system of the study's frog species failed to respond to the chytrid fungus known as Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). In fact, it appears the fungal infection may actually suppress its victim's immune system.
A new study has statistically proven what paleontologists have believed for years: new species emerge just as often as they die out, most evolution occurs in small bursts and crocodiles are really weird.
The University of Idaho will host 2009 Evolution, a conference featuring more than 600 presentations and 200 posters on current and previously unreleased research, eight sponsored symposia synthesizing entire research fields, three speeches from the presidents of the sponsoring societies and one keynote speaker, Eugenie Scott.
European food companies use nanotechnology, but few tell consumers, said Dutch food scientist Frans Kampers Feb. 14 at the AAAS symposium "From Donuts to Drugs: Nano-Biotechnology Evolution or Revolution." Nano-bioscience its many issues now affect most scientists, said Rod Hill, a University of Idaho professor and symposium organizer.
A new, innovative cancer treatment may be hotter, covered in more gold, and even be a better swimmer than Michael Phelps. Scientists at the University of Idaho are engineering multifunctional and dynamic nanowires coated in gold that swim through the bloodstream and attach to specific cancerous cells. Then, lectromagnetic fields heats the nanowires, destroying the cancerous cells.
Scientists at the University of Idaho recently discovered that 17α-ethynylestradiol "“ an active chemical in birth control pills commonly released into the environment through human urine "“ causes cells in rainbow trout to have an abnormal number of chromosomes. This condition may be why many embryos fathered by exposed specimens die within three weeks.
Scientists at the University of Idaho have sequenced the genome of the chytrid fungus known as Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Bd has been a major player in declining frog populations around the world. Scientists compared gene activation in two stages of Bd's life cycle. Out of several genes identified, one gene family in particular may hold the key to how the fungus kills frogs.
Thanks to an agreement signed Wednesday, Aug. 20 between world wide nuclear leader AREVA and the University of Idaho, a new type of recycling plant will soon be processing nuclear waste in Richland, Wash.
