US researchers at Vanderbilt University announced a new surgical robot which is still under the development . The robot can precisely locate from cheek to brain area , from cheek to brain can avoid significant brain and nervous system area. If you are suffering from severe epilepsy, patients without any effective methods to treat this disease can use this robot to conduct a less invasive treatment . Traditional methods sometimes necessary to drill into the hot site of epilepsy skull damage . But this method has certain risk , it is often used only as a last resort. While this robot enter into the brain with a more precise routes, nor is straight forward, but in accordance with tortuous road , which can minimize the extent of the brain damage. The graduate David Comber said that the Needles) feeling very flexible , who is the person in charge of the designing of this robot .

The reason for using flexible design, is to allow the robot can force the heated nitinol needle through the pipeline, so that the needle can fit the shape of the pathway , making it walking in pipeline which is t5hroughout the brain .When the needle left the end of the pipe gradually , the needle will be able to regain its original shape. Comber said the advancing needle looks like a caterpillar.

During surgery , doctors will use NMR to scan and track the subtle process when the needle through the soft tissue . While the needle enter into brain , it can not cut surrounding brain tissue , and it is very difficult to ensure this . Comber said: "The tip through the place, part of the tip will follow to go." Any errors are likely to be devastating. Currently machine reports accuracy is 1.18 mm . And they predicted that robot will be applied into surgery within10 years .

Maybe this research surprised you , but it may come true in nearly future , which may promote the modern medicine research and development , help against a series of difficult disease . This new invention also contribute a new round of science development . For more details info , you can visit http://www.bioabb.com/pages/Immunology-Experiment-Service.html .

Researchers from Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, BIDMC) through a series of experiments and found that the critical role of α- acetylated proteins of the N terminal for cell survival , providing important information to deeply understand apoptosis

N- terminal acetylation is a widespread modified form in eukaryotes, of which the N-alpha-Acetylation is usually occur simultaneously in translation ,generally occurs when the nascent peptide chain has about 40 residues. This modified form is common, such as 80% soluble protein in bacterial cells are the N-terminal α- acetylation

Precious studies have shown that N-terminalα- acetylated protein is closed related to sensitivity of cells to apoptotic signals . In this research , by biochemical experiment , the researchers analyzed the protein acetylation status , confirming that protein N-terminal α- acetylated is controlled by acetyl-CoA , , which is the activate form of Acety l, ivolved in various acetylation reaction as well as important intermediate products in carbohydrates, fats, amino acid oxidase .

The researchers also suggested that due to Bcl-xL is a well-known anti-apoptotic protein which affects mitochondrial metabolism, therefore they think that this factor may build a bridge between the protein and apoptosis , which confirming that N-terminalα- acetylated proteins can promote cell survival .
