Due to an increase in the abuse of synthetic insulins, doping laboratories require faster and more consistent testing options. The methodology to detect and confirm the presence of peptide hormones by mass spectrometry is preferred to the current use of immunoassays or other immuno-reactive techniques. This white paper explores and compares the different available methods, revealing the fastest and most accurate options for synthetic insulin detection.

Metabolizing fructose to produce energy anaerobically through a specific metabolic pathway is a process that scientists previously thought was only used by plants. Not so, says new research.

Biomedical engineers from the University of Minnesota have created a 3D-bioprinted patch that incorporates human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac muscle cells that helped mend heart tissue and function in mice, following a heart attack.

Utilizing benchtop flow cytometry, new novel multicell GFP reporter assay was developed to help facilitate discrimination between induction of DNA damage, oxidative stress and protein misfolding.

Results from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study found that almost 40 percent of people with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) had at least a 50 percent reduction in drop seizures, compared to 15 percent taking a placebo.

Researchers investigating monoclonal antibodies have cured animals, including guinea pigs and rhesus monkeys, of Marburg and Ravn viruses.

The Food and Drug Administration has granted Breakthrough Therapy designation to Novartis' investigational therapy for treatment of adult relapsed and refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the company announced Tuesday.

The world saw brain power take a different form Saturday. From the Washington Monument to Germany's Brandenburg Gate and even to Greenland, scientists, students and research advocates rallied on an often soggy Earth Day, conveying a global message about scientific freedom without political interference, the need for adequate spending for future breakthroughs and just the general value of scientific pursuits.

Three African countries have been chosen to test the world's first malaria vaccine, the World Health Organization announced Monday.
