Through the “Facilities Integrating Collaborations for User Science” (FICUS) initiative, 6 proposals have been selected to participate in a new partnership between the DOE Joint Genome Institute and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, both U.S. Department of Energy user facilities at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
An international team of scientists has developed a method to rapidly produce specific human antibodies in the laboratory. The technique, which will be described in a paper to be published July 24 in The Journal of Experimental Medicine, could speed the production of antibodies to treat a wide range of diseases and facilitate the development of new vaccines.
In saliva, scientists have found hints that a “ghost” species of archaic humans may have contributed genetic material to ancestors of people living in Sub-Saharan Africa today. The research adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting that sexual rendezvous between different archaic human species may not have been unusual.
It lives in boiling acid that dissolves flesh and bone. Now scientists have unlocked the secrets of the indestructible virus, potentially allowing them to harness its remarkable properties to create super-durable materials and better treat disease.
Researchers have developed a technique that uses the vibration of chemical bonds to produce specific colors that allow them to simultaneously observe, in cells and tissues, as many as 24 interacting molecules--each with a distinct color.
Northwestern University neuroscientists now can visualize how fruit flies sense and process humidity. The findings could one day help researchers better understand how the human brain simultaneously processes humidity and temperature and might influence how humans control for mosquitoes in cities and prevent mosquito-borne disease
Researchers Baohua Gu and Parans Paranthaman have been named Corporate Fellows of the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Harvard Medical School researchers have discovered a new regulatory mechanism for genomic imprinting, the process that silences one parent’s gene so that only the other parent’s gene is expressed in offspring.
For some developmental genes one allele must stay silent, otherwise debilitating syndromes and cancers can arise. HHMI Investigator Yi Zhang and his colleagues have uncovered a new imprinting mechanism cells use to keep these genes quiet in mice.
This new review in SLAS Discovery analyzes the recent literature and impact of unfolded protein response (UPR) in health and disease.
XimedicaDx, formerly known as Accel Biotech, is proud to unveil their comprehensive rebranding, which is officially being revealed at the 69th AACC Clinical Lab Expo in San Diego. The change comes in alignment with their acquisition by Ximedica, a leading full service medical technologies development firm, in July of 2016. XimedicaDx maintains Accel Biotech’s comprehensive experience and expertise in in-vitro diagnostics and life science product development as Ximedica’s Diagnostics Center of Excellence.
Microbial enzymes create precursors of nylon while avoiding harsh chemicals and energy-demanding heat.
Sébastien Praud, Biogemma Genetics and Genomics in Cereals team leader, has been appointed to the Board of the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium.
JADAK, a business unit of Novanta Corporation, is exhibiting at the 69th annual AACC Clinical Lab Expo from August 1st – 3rd, 2017 in San Diego, CA, Booth #2818. JADAK’s exhibit will feature its new Clarity™ 2.0 Machine Vision & Image Analysis Software, demonstrated within a desktop analyzer, as well as its expanded line of Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RAIN RFID products and Near Field Communications (NFC) High Frequency (HF) RFID product line
Scientists at the University of Washington have discovered a simple way to raise the accuracy of diagnostic tests for medicine and common assays for laboratory research. By adding polydopamine — a material that was first isolated from shellfish — to these tests at a key step, the team could increase the sensitivity of these common bioassays by as many as 100 to 1,000 times.
The AAPS Journal, AAPS PharmSciTech and Pharmaceutical Research receive impactful measurement numbers in new report
The DOE has announced funding for new research centers to accelerate the development of specialty plants and processes for a new generation of biofuels and bioproducts.
Abraxis, Inc., announces expansion of its AbraMag magnetic beads line for molecular biology, biochemistry and sample prep applications, with the addition of mRNA purification beads and kit.
Research from the University of Notre Dame have improved their method of tracking species by using the biological material those organisms leave behind known as environmental DNA (eDNA).
