The technology would enable communities to produce their own water filters using biomass nanofibers.
The world's population is projected to increase by 2-3 billion over the next 40 years. Already, more than three quarters of a billion people lack access to clean drinking water and 85 percent live in the driest areas of the planet. Those statistics are inspiring chemist Ben Hsiao and his team at ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

From the Jungle to the Synchrotron - Seven Millennia of Discovering Medicines Targeting G Protein-coupled Receptors
John Daly Lecture 2017
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of related proteins in the human body and the site of action of around 300f prescription drugs. Drugs that target GPCRs derived from plants such as opioids, cannabinoids and alkaloids have been used as medicines for thousands of years without an understanding of their mechanism of action. Today advances in X-ray crystallography and biophysics are changing the face of GPCR drug discovery, enabling a precise understanding of the mechanisms of action of these drugs. GPCR x-ray structures are revealing an unexpected diversity in allosteric bindi...

CANCELLED - Exploring the behavioral responses to danger one millisecond at a time
The NIH Neuroscience Seminar scheduled for today, February 13, has been cancelled. Our speaker, Clifford Woolf, was unable to fly out of Boston due to a large snow storm. An attempt will be made to reschedule.
NIH Neuroscience Series Seminar
Neuronal plasticity, its mechanistic basis, how it contributes to the normal and abnormal functions of the nervous system, and how it can be a target for therapy comprise the major focus of Dr. Woolf ’ s investigations. Specifically, he studies neural plasticity in relation to pain, regeneration, neurodegenerative disorders and developmental neurobiology.
