1. Jellyfish Fight terrorists  //September 1, 2008// — Engineers invented a device to bring air samples into contact with genetically engineered biosensors in the effort to detect dangerous biological agents. The technology uses multiple collections of altered cell antibodies, each collection designed to respond to a specific pathogen by releasing photons of a unique wavelength upon finding it. Detectors measure the photons' wavelengths and interpret the pathogens they represent.

2. Key Regulator of Fat Cell Development Identified  //ScienceDaily (June 6, 2010)// — New research led by UCD Conway Fellow, Professor Johan Ericsson has identified a key regulator of fat cell differentiation that may be a novel target for obesity drugs. 3.

**3. Color-Coded Tracking Method Helps Scientists Analyze Outcomes of Newly Transplanted Tissue** //ScienceDaily (June 4, 2010)// — A group of "color-coded" laboratory mice are providing researchers with a novel way of tracking T-cells, enabling them to visualize and monitor the cellular immune responses of transplanted tissue in real time. The new imaging system is described in the June issue of //Nature Medicine//  4.[|Scientists Capture Very Moment Blood Flow Begins] 5. [|Mutant Gene Link to West Nile Virus in Horses]
