Breast cancer remains one of the most challenging diseases to treat, especially for aggressive forms such as triple-negative breast cancer. Researchers are working relentlessly to better understand tumor metabolism and to find new therapeutic strategies. Two recent studies highlight how critical glutamine metabolism is in breast cancer cells: ...
This cutting-edge imaging technique offers enhanced resolution and imaging capabilities, allowing researchers to visualize biological samples with unprecedented detail. ...
These sequencing technologies are also tools for understanding biochemical interactions between prokaryotes and phages and have been widely used in the food industry and medical research. For example, multiple drug resistance (MDR) has risen dramatically, and phage therapy may be an effective way to treat bacterial infections. ...
The paper specifically relates to overcoming the limitations of Next Generation Sequencing (“NGS”) in identifying and quantifying genetically-related microorganisms after they are pooled together in either natural or designed samples. BiomX researchers have developed a reference-based Python algorithm, Exodus, for quantification of genomes, including ...

X-ZELL’s modular system can be seamlessly integrated into routine pathology and is capable of visualising ultra-rare, atypical cells in a small, 10mL blood sample. Research has shown that these cells could help physicians diagnose clinically significant cancers at the earliest stages without putting patients at risk. Led by X-ZELL Founder & CEO, Dr ...
The founders of Aerosol Devices, Dr Susanne Hering and Ms Pat Keady will be both speaking as part of a critical line up of aerosol experts to discuss the latest research, methods of sampling and other important bio-aerosol topics related to the SAR-CoV-2 virus. ...
Researchers publishing in the peer-review journal Frontiers in Pediatrics report that pre-term infants fed Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (activated B. infantis EVC001) experienced significantly lower level of intestinal inflammation, 62% less diaper rash, and required 62% fewer antibiotics– all of which are critical health indicators in neonatal care. ...
“The infant gut microbiome in the U.S. is clearly dysfunctional, and we believe this is a critical factor underpinning many of the infant and childhood ailments we see today across the country.” Study Methodology Researchers collected fecal samples from 227 infants under 6 months of age during pediatrician office visits in five different states (CA, ...
In the United States, however, blood lead concentrations increase with age in children up to 2-3 years old and then decline." For the study, the researchers analyzed one blood sample taken from each child between the ages of 3-5. ...
(NYSE: A) today introduced the Cary 8454 UV Dissolution System, which incorporates new Cary 8454 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer technology and enables researchers to sample the entire UV spectrum for fast, efficient diode array analysis. ...
Xu and Taylor made the discovery using blood samples from participants in the Sister Study, a nationwide research effort to find the environmental and genetic causes of breast cancer and other diseases. More than 50,000 sisters of women who have had breast cancer are participating in the study. The researchers analyzed blood ...
Inhaling volcanic ash could weaken the body’s natural defences against infection, a recent study concludes. A team of researchers collected samples of ash from the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull volcano eruption in Iceland and, in laboratory tests, found that they reduced the ability of immune cells in lungs to fight off bacterial infections. ...
A multi-disciplinary team of researchers evaluated blood serum samples using a technique called immunofluorescence to detect ANA in 4,754 individuals from the 1994-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). ...
The research was published in the American Journal of Infection Control (AJIC). Researchers found that MDR-AB was present in the environment of 48% of the rooms of patients infected or colonized by the pathogen. The scientists sampled 50 rooms inhabited by patients with a history of MDR-AB infections. ...
"Ultimately this research may lead to improvements in the monitoring of patients undergoing drug treatment. ...
The National Children's Study will focus on a representative sample of 100,000 children from before birth to age 21. Researchers will gather data on children's genetic makeup and a number of biological, chemical, environmental, physical and psychosocial factors. ...
