In a study using mice, infectious disease experts have added to evidence that statin drugs - known primarily for their cholesterol-lowering effects - can significantly reduce the time it takes to clear tuberculosis infection.

Researchers are trying to understand more about the crow's brain and behavior, specifically what it does when the birds see one of their own die. They react loudly to the dead, but the reasons aren't entirely known.

With the requirement to increase testing of agricultural and food products for the presence of aflatoxins, reliable and convenient testing methods that utilize readily available standard laboratory tools are in demand. For the general laboratory, newer technologies for aflatoxin analysis may be financially unattainable. This app note focuses on the innovative method developed to accurately test aflatoxins using general equipment.

In the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, patients are often unable to remember recent experiences. However, a new study suggests that those memories are still stored in the brain - they just can't be easily accessed.

What Makes Your Laboratory Unique? Your people, your protocols, the work you do to change the world - and the instruments and equipment that help you to reach your goals. You shouldn't have to fit your workflows around standard equipment. Your Equipment should be adaptable to you, while operating within the safety, performance, and compliance parameters that your work requires. In short, your laboratory equipment should work the way you do.

New research has opened up a surprising new avenue for potential therapies to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and other metabolic disorders that are associated with chronic tissue inflammation in obesity.

Forget mosquito bites. Volunteers let researchers inject them with the dengue virus in the name of science - and an experimental vaccine protected them. Next up, scientists plan to use this same strategy against dengue's cousin, the Zika virus.
