Organic LEDs: DNA benefits

The nucleic acid bases that form DNA can serve as a useful hole-transport (electron blocking) layer in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), according to scientists in the USA. Eliot Gomez and co-workers report that because adenine and thymine can be thermally evaporated, they can be easily incorporated into the fabrication of OLEDs made by vacuum deposition and offer efficient hole-transport ...

Benefits and Concerns Associated with Recombinant DNA Biotechnology-Derived Foods

Today, nutrient deficiency diseases in the Western world are a distant memory. A huge variety of food is available year round. For this to be possible, many of these foods are grown thousands of miles away from where we live, and processed by people we neither see nor know. Furthermore, in the United States, expenditures for food are among the lowest in the world—about 10% of average family inc...

Telomere biology and DNA repair: enemies with benefits.

This special issue features in-depth reviews of telomere biology and DNA repair. Understanding how telomeres function requires insights into the nature and regulation of the cellular pathways that detect and repair DNA lesions. As telomeres block unwarranted DNA repair reactions and avoid detection by the DNA damage signaling pathways, detailed knowledge of the earliest steps in the relevant DN...
