A new family of multichannel electronic pipettes is closing the gap between traditional manual pipettes and robotic systems. This new video will provide you with an informative insight into how to improve your biological sample processing and collection.

Here we explore how the development of cancer immunotherapies has started to focus on improving efficiency, safety, and specificity by using genetic engineering approaches.

For the first time, a drug has helped prevent heart attacks by curbing inflammation, a new and very different approach than lowering cholesterol, the focus for many years.

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.

We take roughly 20,000 breaths a day, mostly without thinking, but exactly how our breathing is controlled is a puzzle that has perplexed thinkers from Aristotle to Galen to modern physiologists.

Mayo Clinic researchers have reported a causal link between senescent cells - the cells associated with aging and age-related disease - and bone loss in mice. Targeting these cells led to an increase in bone mass and strength. The findings appear online in Nature Medicine.

Duke scientists have recently discovered that a gene variant that affects cholesterol levels could increase your risk of contracting typhoid fever. They also showed that a common cholesterol-lowering drug (ezetimibe or Zetia) could protect zebrafish against Salmonella Typhi, the culprit behind the nasty infection.

The discovery in lab mice that an "anti-sense" RNA is expressed after nerve injury to regulate the repair of damage to the nerve's myelin coating could lead to a treatment that improves healing in people.

It's an early application of a technique now being worked on in labs all over the world, as researchers learn to grow organs outside of the body for treatment - and maybe someday for transplants.
