A protein has been shown to have a surprising role in regulating the ‘glue’ that holds heart cells together, a finding that may explain how a gene defect could cause sudden cardiac death. A team led by Oxford University researchers was looking at how a protein, iASPP, might be involved in the growth of tumours. […]
A study by researchers at IRB Barcelona explains the basis for the classification of colon tumours in good or bad prognosis by analysing the tissue surrounding the tumour cells. The scientists are currently developing a test that enables the identification of patients at risk of relapse after surgical removal of the tumour by measuring 4-6 […]
A new genetic discovery in the field of Huntington’s disease (HD) could mean a more effective way in determining severity of this neurological disease when using specific treatments. This study may provide insight for treatments that would be effective in slowing down or postponing the death of neurons for people who carry the HD gene […]
Brown University biologists have determined how the loss of a gene in male mice results in the premature exhaustion of their fertility. Their fundamental new insights into the complex process of sperm generation may have direct applications to a similar loss of fertility in men. What the team discovered is that the loss of the […]
Highlighting a potential target in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer’s disease, new research suggests that triggering a protein found on the surface of brain cells may help slow the progression of these and other neurological diseases. Working with mice, two research teams at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis independently […]
Analysing a puzzling multisystem disorder in three children, genetic experts have identified a new syndrome, shedding light on key biological processes during human development. The research also provides important information to help caregivers manage the disorder, and may offer clues to eventually treating it. “This syndrome illuminates a very important pathway in early human development […]
AMSBIO reports on the recent publication in Cell by Dr Meritxell Huch, Prof Hans Clevers et al. of ground-breaking research using Cultrex BME2 reduced growth factor (organoid growth matrix) to enable long-term (>1 year) culture of genome-stable bipotent stem cells from adult human liver. These results open up new experimental avenues towards the use of […]
Researchers at Okayama demonstrate that injection of a virus solution followed by tumour removal can eradicate cancer metastasis in lymph nodes without the need for preventative surgery.While early-stage gastrointestinal cancers can be treated non-surgically, once the cancer has invaded to a particular depth, preventative – ‘prophylactic’ – surgery is routine. The frequency of lymph node […]
An independent academic study provides a detailed analysis of deep well microplates and the significant levels of contamination found in more than 50% of the commercially available plates tested.The study gives data on a large range of microplates from numerous manufacturers based in Europe, USA and China. Mass spectral data shows that persistent contamination from […]
Beckman Coulter Diagnostics has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Access 25(OH) Vitamin D Total assay. Offering state-of-the-art performance, the new assay is an important addition to the company’s bone metabolism assay menu and is available for use on its Access 2 and UniCel DxI series of immunoassay […]
