Biological Structures: A course for all scientists and engineers even philosophers - STAR SCIENCE By Gisela P. Padilla-Concepcion, PhD and Eduardo A. Padlan, PhD

We offer a course at the Marine Science Institute in UP Diliman called “Biological Structures.� The topics we cover range from biological molecules (small and large), to cells, to organ systems, to whole organisms, to populations and ecosystems. One of the recurring fundamental questions we ask is — are there underlying principles, with fine similarities and differences, at these different levels of biological structure?

Biological Sciences in LIGHT

The cross-faculty nature of LIGHT is represented by both the collaborations within Multidisciplinary Cardiovascular Research Centre and the co-location of researchers from the Faculties of Medicine and Health and that of Biological Sciences in the LIGHT laboratories. This interdisciplinary approach, integrating basic science and clinical research, is a strong feature of the LIGHT laboratories. A number of research areas are covered by Biological Sciences staff in LIGHT in relation to the overall research strategy of the Institute and these are introduced briefly below.

Study shows more genes are controlled by biological clocks

The tick-tock of your biological clock may have just gotten a little louder. Researchers at the University of Georgia report that the number of genes under control of in living things than suspected only a few years ago. The biological clock in a much-studied model organism is dramatically higher than previously reported. The new study implies that the clock may be much more important.

Biomarkers reveal our biological age

(Nanowerk News) Not a day passes when we don’t get a little bit older. However, the exact processes involved in human aging are still puzzling. Scientists working with Lenhard Rudolph and Hong Jiang from the Max Planck Research Group for Stem Cell Aging in Ulm have now identified a group of proteins that reveal the biological age of a person. These biomarkers could be used in medicine to adapt therapies for older people to their individual biological age ("Proteins induced by telomere dysfunction and DNA damage represent biomarkers of human aging and disease").

Investigation of Cation- Interactions in Biological Systems

Noncovalent interactions, such as van der Waals interactions, hydrogen bonds, salt bridge and cation-Π interactions play extremely important roles in biological systems and, in contrast to covalent bonds, many such noncovalent interactions are not well understood. In the present work a new protocol has been developed to measure the enhancement of binding energies due to cation-Π interactions between aromatic amino acids and organic or metal ions. Investigation of the cation-Π interactions will provide further insight into the structure and function of biological molecules.

Non-Biological Evolution Real, Not Study Flaw

Earlier this week, researchers captured the process of cultural -- not biological -- evolution in action.

Center for Biological Diversity: Conservation Group Uncovers More Holes in Proposed National Gas-Mileage Standards

SAN FRANCISCO - August 18 -In comments filed today, the Center for Biological Diversity highlighted legally fatal flaws in the Bush administration’s latest inadequate fuel-economy standards for cars, pickups, and SUVs. The administration’s proposal and accompanying environmental review were systematically skewed in order to keep fuel-economy standards unreasonably low.

Robot's Biological Brain Hoping to Understand Keys to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's

Computerworld — University researchers in England are working to find out how the brain learns and stores memories by controlling a robot with a biological brain.

Cheetals under threat from biological park

Udaipur, Sept 20: A proposed biological park in the Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary in Udaipur is threatening the survival of the spotted deer, a wildlife expert said.

Chemical and Biological Process Engineering ; Engineering at Swansea University

Most of the products that you use every day have probably been through some form of chemical or physical process on their way to you. For example TV sets, music systems and computers originally start out as resources of crude oil and minerals. From these metals, semiconductors, glass and plastics are produced by chemical engineering. Practically everything you keep in the fridge has also bean through some kind of engineering process. For example, live yogur has the right kind of bacteria in it and fruit juice is very nutritious, despite the fact that it is probably produced from a concentrate. The fridge itself is a product of process engineering. It extends the shelf life of food by holding it at temperatures where natural biological processes, such as the growth of fungi and bacteria, are almost at a standstill.

Robot with a biological brain

University of Reading scientists have developed a robot controlled by a biological brain formed from cultured neurons. And this is a world’s premiere. Other research teams have tried to control robots with ‘brains,’ but there was always a computer in the loop. This new project is the first one to examine ‘how memories manifest themselves in the brain, and how a brain stores specific pieces of data.’ As life expectancy is increasing in most countries, this new research could provide insights into how the brain works and help aging people. In fact, the main goal of this project is to understand better the development of diseases and disorders which affect the brain such as Alzheimer or Parkinson diseases. It’s interesting to note that this project is being led by Professor Kevin Warwick, who became famous in 1998 when a silicon

(PhysOrg.com) -- A multidisciplinary team at the University of Reading has developed a robot which is controlled by a biological brain formed from cultured neurons. This cutting edge research is the first step to examine how memories manifest themselves in the brain, and how a brain stores specific pieces of data. The key aim is that eventually this will lead to a better understanding of development and of diseases and disorders which affect the brain such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, stroke and brain injury.

Water Is No Passive Spectator Of Biological Processes: It Is An Active Participant

Water is no passive spectator of biological processes; it is an active participant. Protein folding is thus a self-organized process in which the actions of the solvent play a key role. So far, the emphasis in studies of protein folding processes has been on observation of the protein backbone and its side chains.
