• Researchers identify a molecular switch that controls neuronal migration in the developing brain

  St. Jude Children's Research Hospital investigators have identified key components of a signaling pathway that controls the departure of neurons from the brain niche where they form and allows these cells to start migrating to their final destination. Defects in this system affect the architecture o more

• Trifunctional antibody Removab from Fresenius Biotech awarded Galenus von Pergamon Prize for drug innovation

  The trifunctional antibody Removab® (Catumaxomab) from Fresenius Biotech was awarded this year’s Galenus von Pergamon Prize in the “Specialist Care” category. The jury acknowledged Removab®’s new therapeutic mechanism and medical relevance for the treatment of malignant ascites. The Galenus von Perg more

• Protein highways keep tissues organize
  

  Precise regulation of tissue architecture is critical for organ function. Single cells build up a tissue by communicating with their environment and with other cells, thereby receiving instructions on whether to divide, change shape or migrate. An interdisciplinary group of researchers from several more

• Continuous Real-Time Cell Monitoring in 16- and 96-Well Plates
  

  The xCELLigence System is a microelectronic biosensor system for cell-based assays, providing dynamic, real-time, label-free cellular data for a variety of research applications in drug development, toxicology, cancer research, medical microbiology, and virology. Exceeding the limits of endpoint analysis, data how cells are responding are obtained during the entire experiment more

• Miniaturised Platelet Aggregation Assays using the NOVOstar Microplate Reader
  

  Platelet aggregation is a “gold standard” assay of platelet function in the research and clinical laboratory settings which is conventionally measured with aggregometers requiring large volumes of platelet suspensions and only in low throughput format. With the NOVOstar microplate reader from BMG LABTECH we present an alternative optical method to measure platelet aggregation using small volumes in 96-well format more

• Real-Time Analysis of LNCaP Cell Growth in Different Media
  

  Our results suggest that the influence of androgen receptor-stimulating or -blocking substances strongly depends upon the composition of the growth medium. The use of hormone-depleted FBS in combination with phenol red-free medium is strongly recommended for monitoring stimulator effects, whereas inhibitory effects may be more readily analyzed in medium containing normal FBS. Because the mutated androgen receptor in LNCaP can also be stimulated by estrogens, progestogens, and several antiandrogens, we suggest that the stimulatory effect of normal FBS compared with hormone-reduced FBS may be explained by differences in estradiol levels (192 pg/ml in normal FBS compared with <12 pg/ml in hormone-reduced FBS) rather than by differences in progesterone levels (0.29 ng/ml in normal FBS compared with 0.13 ng/ml in hormone-reduced FBS) or testosterone levels (0.08 ng/ml in normal FBS compared with 0.03 ng/ml in hormone-reduced FBS). Our results show that the optimal time point for monitoring inhibitory and stimulat more

• Aging of porous silicon in physiological conditions: Cell adhesion modes on scaled 1D micropatterns

  Abstract The surface properties of porous silicon (PSi) evolve rapidly in phosphate‐buffered saline. X‐ray photoelectron spectra indicate the formation of a Si–OH and C–O enriched surface, which becomes increasingly hydrophilic with aging time. Multiscale stripe micropatterns of Si and PSi have b more

• Polyaspartamide‐polylactide electrospun scaffolds for potential topical release of Ibuprofen

  Abstract In this work, the production and characterization of electrospun scaffolds of the copolymer α,β‐poly(N‐2‐hydroxyethyl)‐DL‐aspartamide‐graft‐polylactic acid (PHEA‐g‐PLA), proposed for a potential topical release of Ibuprofen (IBU), are reported. The drug has been chemically linked to PHEA more

• New biodegradable small‐diameter artificial vascular prosthesis: A feasibility study

  Abstract An in‐house built instrument was used to fabricate a small internal diameter (2 mm) artificial vascular prosthesis from biodegradable chitosan. This new artificial vascular prosthesis has shown a good biocompatibility based on the studies of its cell compatibility, inflammatory reaction, more
