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.

South Korean scientists recently published data showing that novel, cell-penetrating antibodies targeting the RAS gene family, produce anti-tumor activity in mice.

Researchers from Cedars Sinai Medical Center have developed a new technique that, if successful in humans, could replace traditional bone grafts for mending nonhealing limb fractures. The new method, which combines, microbubbles, ultrasound, and gene and stem cell therapies, effectively healed severely broken bones in a study in pigs.

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.

Researchers from the Gladstone Institutes have discovered newly-developed cancer drugs may also provide a treatment option for heart failure patients.

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.

The first time psychiatrist Carolyn Rodriguez gave an infusion of ketamine to a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, she was nervous. After all, while ketamine is approved by the FDA as an anesthetic, it is also an illicit party drug known as "Special K." But the results simply astonished her

Researchers have developed a new way to analyze hundreds of thousands of cells at once, which could lead to faster and more accurate diagnoses of illnesses, including tuberculosis and cancers.

Chronic pain in any one body part may distort the intensity with which a key brain region perceives pain everywhere else.

A custom-engineered protein destroyed the deadly virus in the lab and could become a sweeping anti-viral in medicine and farming.
