There are many people with a stoma living in the community in the UK. A commonly reported problem with living with a stoma is a poor quality of life because of uncertainty and doubts in the mind of the person with a stoma. The focus of this article is reviewing…
As the pace of genetic approaches to combating cancer slows, researchers are focusing on novel approaches to identify and create metabolic liabilities in cells. Cancer cells rewire their metabolism to survive and proliferate rapidly; however, there is no single metabolic phenotype that enables this rewired state.
Metabolomics is the state-of-the-art qualitative or quantitative analysis of metabolites present in biological samples. Since the majority of diseases are associated with metabolic alterations – either as a cause or result of the disease process – metabolomics is increasingly being used in drug and biomarker discovery.
Since the development of the so-called soft ionisation techniques: electrospray ionisation and matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionisation in the 1980s and early 1990s and the development of high-resolution mass spectrometers, mass spectrometry (MS) has come to the fore in studying complex biological systems...
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been widely implicated in the neuronal degeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Mitochondria-targeted protective compounds that prevent or minimise a wide range of mitochondrial defects constitute potential therapeutic strategies in the prevention and treatment of neuronal degeneration in PD.
Synthetic biology is broadly defined as the design and construction of novel artificial biological pathways, organisms or devices; or the redesign of existing natural biological systems.1 It brings together a range of disciplines and skills, from biology and chemistry to computing, bioinformatics and engineering.
An integrated fragment-based approach, which reveals enzymatic inhibitors with potential therapeutic application, is the subject of this webinar.Taking place on 25 October 2018 at 3:00pm, the webinar is supported by NanoTemper Technologies.
Takara Bio has played a major role in the development of single-cell genomics with the launch of kits such as the automation-ready Smart-seq HT, with a simplified 4-steps protocol. In addition, to meetthe demand for using RNA-seq for degraded clinical samples, we have expanded our offering with a complete sequencing…
This webinar shines a spotlight on cell-based and biochemical high-throughput screening in 1536 well plates. Supported by BMG LABTECH, the webinar will take place on 30 October at 4:00pm (GMT).
Investigations using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), once the domain of well-funded labs, have now become mainstream in the hunt for biomarkers for various disorders – ranging from breast and colon cancers to cardiomyopathies, diabetes, congenital cataracts, liver diseases and mitochondrial disorders. The NHS Executive (NHSE) has recently announced the use of…
Flow cytometry is a powerful and flexible technology that delivers high content information from single cells and particles. Flow cytometry lends itself to a wide variety of applications, but traditional flow cytometry technologies are not widely adopted in the drug discovery industry due to limited throughput, slow sampling speeds and…
Flow cytometry has become a widely used technology in life science research since its development in the 1970s. It is also essential for many biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies due to its proficiency in identifying biomarkers, finding new inhibitory antibodies, and assessing the efficiency of new pharmacological protocols.
All computer systems that store data to make Quality decisions or data that will be reported to the FDA must be compliant with 21 CFR Part 11. The purpose of this law is to define the criteria under which electronic records and electronic signatures are considered trustworthy, reliable, and equivalent…
GABAA receptors represent a large and complicated family of ion channels that consist of at least 16 subunits (α1-6, β1-3, γ1-3, δ, ε, π, θ) that have been shown to be vital for the normal functioning of the brain. These inhibitory ligand-gated channels have been shown to beimportant in sedation,…
