LateRooms.com - London's Tate Modern to Host Damien Hirst Exhibition

More than 70 works by influential contemporary artist Damien Hirst are to go on display at the Tate Modern from April 4th to September 9th 2012.

2012-03-29

LONDON, ENGLAND, March 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) London's Tate Modern is set to play host to the first substantial survey of the works of iconic and controversial artist Damien Hirst, commencing in April 2012.

Running from April 4th to September 9th as part of the London 2012 Festival, the exhibition will bring together more than 70 of the artist's works, offering a comprehensive review of Hirst's two-decade career.

The Bristol native came to prominence in 1988 and gained fame for pieces such as The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living - which depicts a shark suspended in formaldehyde - as well as Mother and Child, a four-part sculpture of a bisected cow and calf.

Tate Modern will be displaying these pieces alongside less well-known works like In and Out of Love, which has not been shown in full since its creation in 1991.

Entry to the exhibition costs GBP14 or GBP12.20 for concessions, with opening times running from 10:00 to 18:00 BST most days.

The show will also open late until 22:00 on Fridays and Saturdays.

Researchers create molecular Braille to identify DNA molecules

2012-03-29

Researchers at UCLA and New York University have developed a method to detect sequence differences in individual DNA molecules by taking nanoscopic pictures of the molecules themselves. The work is reported in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. Using the approach they call "Direct Molecular Recognition," the UCLA and NYU researchers used nanoparticles to turn the DNA molecules into a form of molecular braille that can be read in the scale of nanometers, or one billionth of a meter, using high-speed Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The leaders of the study ...

New gene therapy approach developed for red blood cell disorders

2012-03-29

NEW YORK (March 27, 2012) -- A team of researchers led by scientists at Weill Cornell Medical College has designed what appears to be a powerful gene therapy strategy that can treat both beta-thalassemia disease and sickle cell anemia. They have also developed a test to predict patient response before treatment. This study's findings, published in PLoS ONE, represents a new approach to treating these related, and serious, red blood cells disorders, say the investigators. "This gene therapy technique has the potential to cure many patients, especially if we prescreen ...

Map of substrate-kinase interactions may lead to more effective cancer drugs

2012-03-29

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Later-stage cancers thrive by finding detours around roadblocks that cancer drugs put in their path, but a Purdue University biochemist is creating maps that will help drugmakers close more routes and develop better drugs. Kinase enzymes deliver phosphates to cell proteins in a process called phosphorylation, switching a cellular function on or off. Irregularities in phosphorylation can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and are a hallmark of cancer. Many successful cancer drugs are kinase inhibitors, which block the ability of a kinase to bind ...

Mud manifests history of clear water in murky Minnesota duck depot Lake Christina

2012-03-29

During peak migration days in the early 1900s, tens of thousands of canvasback ducks could be seen floating and diving on Minnesota's Lake Christina. Since midcentury, changes to the lake have diminished this grand, iconic spectacle. Restoring it will require both top-down control of life in the lake, and bottom-up management of the surrounding landscape. So says a team of Minnesota scientists calling on extensive modern records and 200 years of history trapped in sediment, in a report released online last week in the journal Ecological Applications. "Lake Christina ...
