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.

While it's true that artificial intelligence and computer-based algorithms are making their way into both the lab and clinical practice, the adoption of these new technologies will not replace the work of the researchers themselves. On the contrary: it'll enable them to become more effective than ever before.

Paris-based Nanobiotix is a late clinical-stage nanomedicine company that is spearheading efforts to harness physics rather than biology, as a way to destroy cancer cells.

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.

Researchers have used optogenetics to weaken the connection between the amygdala and the cortex in the brains of mice to reverse fearful behavior, which might have implications for the future treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Metabolic measurement of humans and animal models is an important aspect of biomedicine. However, the limitations of current methods in metabolic measurement are not widely understood. This mini-review explains the methodological trade-offs involved in metabolic measurement with flow-through respirometry and specifically addresses limitations regarding temporal resolution and accuracy of metabolic measurement systems with practical solutions.

Clinical-stage microbiome company, Rebiotix Inc., announced positive top line results from it's prospective, multicenter, open-label, controlled Phase 2 study for the prevention of recurrent Clostridium difficile (C. diff).

Researchers are using unique graphic characters as the latest tool to help doctors detect signs of Alzheimer's disease significantly earlier than when the symptoms become apparent.

A new trial may hold new hope for military personnel through treatment with oxytocin, sometimes referred to as the "love hormone."

Tummy tucks really hurt. Doctors carve from hip to hip, slicing off skin, tightening muscles, tugging at innards. Patients often need strong painkillers for days or even weeks, but Mary Hernandez went home on just over-the-counter ibuprofen.
