NK cell cytolytic activity is often evaluated by measuring the release of radioactive chromium-51 or indium-111 from labeled tumor cells. This application note explores a non-toxic, calcein AM release assay for evaluating NK cell cytotoxicity using image cytometry.

When the researchers looked at subjects who suffered severe herpes infection and who were treated aggressively with antiviral drugs, the relative risk of dementia was reduced by a factor of 10.

Scientists instead suggest using a naturally occurring protein to combat hypertension.

Scientists have used the wire to capture free-floating tumor cells in the blood, a technique that soon could be used in humans to yield an earlier cancer diagnosis.

Polymeric nanoparticles can efficiently administer mRNA to cells of the lungs, liver, and other organs.
