LateRooms.com - New Societe Realiste Project on Show in Paris

Empire, State, Building is the new Societe Realiste exhibition showing at Paris's Jeu de Paume.

2011-04-24

PARIS, FRANCE, April 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) A new exhibition entitled Empire, State, Building is on show in Paris, displaying the talents of the Societe Realiste cooperative.

The installation is on show at the Jeu de Paume until May 8th 2011 and incorporates various aspects of the group's work.

According to the venue, there are three factors of the title to consider.

Firstly is the allusion to the famous Manhattan structure, secondly, the way punctuation can alter meaning and finally, the way a myth can be reduced with the aid of certain symbols.

Societe Realiste, an experimental cooperative that broadly works in the fields of design and social engineering, has submitted a variety of pieces of differing types.

Two of the most important items on show are some of the group's most recent works: 2010's The Fountainhead and Culte de l'Humanitee, which was created this year.

Jeu de Paume costs EUR8.50 (GBP7.55) to enter. The building opens from 12:00 to 21:00 local time on Tuesday and 12:00 to 19:00 from Wednesday to Friday. At the weekend, it is accessible from 10:00 to 19:00.

LateRooms.com features a huge range of Paris hotels that may appeal to art enthusiasts, including the Hotel Bastille Paris.

Researchers construct RNA nanoparticles to safely deliver long-lasting therapy to cells

2011-04-24

CINCINNATI—Nanotechnology researchers have known for years that RNA, the cousin of DNA, is a promising tool for nanotherapy, in which therapeutic agents can be delivered inside the body via nanoparticles. But the difficulties of producing long-lasting, therapeutic RNA that remains stable and non-toxic while entering targeted cells have posed challenges for their progress. In two new publications in the journal Molecular Therapy, University of Cincinnati (UC) biomedical engineering professor Peixuan Guo, PhD, details successful methods of producing large RNA nanoparticles ...

Worm studies shed light on human cancers

2011-04-24

MADISON -- Research in the worm is shedding light on a protein associated with a number of different human cancers, and may point to a highly targeted way to treat them. University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists were studying a worm protein called TFG-1, which is present in many cell types but whose exact role had never been understood. The scientists discovered that the protein controls key aspects of the movement, or secretion, of growth factors out of cells. "TFG-1 has never been implicated in the secretory process before," says Dr. Anjon Audhya, an assistant ...
