• Product differentiation to boost European human growth hormones market, says Frost & Sullivan

  The stable growth of the European human growth hormone (hGH) market is attributed primarily to a decrease in the prices and an increase in the overall volumes of hGH drugs used. No new indications for hGH therapy are likely to be approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) over the next 3 to 5 more

• The benefits of social grooming
  

  Animals which maintain cooperative relationships show gains in longevity and offspring survival. However, little is known about the cognitive or hormonal mechanisms involved in cooperation. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have now found that more

• Steroid hormone receptor prefers working alone to shut off immune system genes

  Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine have obtained a detailed molecular picture that shows how glucocorticoid hormones shut off key immune system genes. The finding could help guide drug discovery efforts aimed at finding new anti-inflammatory drugs with fewer side effects. Synthetic g more

• Interference and HAMA problems
  

  Immunoassays are bioanalytical methods based on antibodies. These include ELISA, EIA, RIA, Western blotting, protein arrays, lateral flow assays (immuno-chromatography), immunohistochemistry or immuno-PCR. Antibodies detect the substances (analytes) in immunoassays. This detection is always highly specific and only the analytes are detected and bound. This is the theory! Practically any antibody not only binds its analyte. It also binds several other substances, but with very different affinities. more

• GC-C-IRMS Determination of Hormones
  

  By amending methodology to utilize eVol® for sample preparation processes for GC-C-IRMS C isotope ratio analysis, the ISORA department has: improved sample preparation conditions and the GC-C-IRMS analysis results by removing the risk of ghost peaks, and increased their workflow, been able to work more rapidly while maintaining ergonomic practice for laboratory staff, increased liquid handling accuracy more

• To Probe or Not to Probe
  

  In our efforts to measure the expression levels of the thyroid hormone receptor ß2 in small areas of mouse brain, we encountered primer-dimer prob­lems when using SYBR Green I assays. With the Universal ProbeLibrary and the LightCycler® 2.0 Instrument we were able to solve the primer-dimer problem, increase PCR efficiency, and continue our investigations. more

• Navigating Pituitary Structure and Function ‐ Defining a Roadmap for Hormone Secretion

  Summary The human pituitary gland may be the size of a pea, but it punches well above its weight due to secretion of hormones that regulate essential homeostatic processes ranging from growth to stress. Recent advances in imaging and genetics have allowed large‐scale interrogation of pituitary s more

• Non‐Classical Progesterone Signalling Molecules in the Nervous System

  For decades, oestradiol (E2) was arguably the star among the cast of neuroactive hormones, but the spotlight shifted to progesterone (P4) after the discovery of novel P4 signalling molecules. Like E2, the actions of P4 in the nervous system go beyond the regulation of gonadotrophin‐releasing hormo more

• Eosinophils secrete IL-4 to facilitate liver regeneration [Medical Sciences]

  The liver is a central organ for the synthesis and storage of nutrients, production of serum proteins and hormones, and breakdown of toxins and metabolites. Because the liver is susceptible to toxin- or pathogen-mediated injury, it maintains a remarkable capacity to regenerate by compensatory growth more
