• Exposure to 3 classes of common chemicals may affect female development

  Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that exposure to three common chemical classes — phenols, phthalates and phytoestrogens — in young girls may disrupt the timing of pubertal development, and put girls at risk for health complications later in life. The study, the first to exam more

• Experts at Virgen del Rocío Hospital are studying the effectiveness of olive oil as a preeclampsia treatment

  Experts at Virgen del Rocío Hospital have begun a study on pregnancy preeclampsia on a sample of 30 pregnant women with a view to demonstrating whether or not consumption of olive oil by this population group results in lower levels of cytotoxicity (for example, cholesterol) in endothelial cells (ar more

• 'Edible optics' could make food safer

  Imagine an edible optical sensor that could be placed in produce bags to detect harmful levels of bacteria and consumed right along with the veggies. Or an implantable device that would monitor glucose in your blood for a year, then dissolve. Scientists at Tufts University's School of Engineering h more

• Ultrafast De Novo Sequencing of Corynebacterium urealyticum Using the Genome Sequencer 20 System
  

  A microbial genome sequence provides a wealth of data and specific information that cannot be obtained by other experimental approaches. A genome sequence can be regarded as the starting point for detailed bioinformatics analysis, metabolic reconstruction and systematic functional examination of all identified genes. In particular, genome sequencing has revealed important information on genes and deduced proteins of human pathogens, including putative virulence factors and potential new drug targets. more

• Looxster® - Enrichment and isolation of bacterial DNA using Pureprove® Technology
  

  Detection of the bacterial content of a specific sample, irrelevant from its source (i.e. Clinical, Food or Environmental), is not as straightforward as it seems. In clinical microbiology laboratories, the gold standard method for the detection of pathogens in patients suspected of systemic infections is the blood culture. However, this technique is known to have many drawbacks especially with regard to non-cultivable organisms, low abundance (longer lag phase) and patient's antibiotics treatment. more

• Analysis of Prostate Tumour Cell Invasion Using BD FluoroBlokTMand FLUOstar OPTIMA
  

  The FLUOstar OPTIMA is used for reading the BD Biosciences FluoroBlok(TM) tumour cell invasion system. In this application note we show that the results are comparable to the traditional invasion assays. The introduced method is fast, saving time and labour. The FLUOstar OPTIMA is able to take multiple readings over time at a user defined temperature more

• Identification of extracellular miRNA in human cerebrospinal fluid by next-generation sequencing [METHOD]

  There has been a growing interest in using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to profile extracellular small RNAs from the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with neurological diseases, CNS tumors, or traumatic brain injury for biomarker discovery. Small sample volumes and samples with l more

• Effect of plant secondary compounds on in vitro methane, ammonia production and ruminal protozoa population

  Abstract Aims The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of secondary plant metabolites from 38 sources to serve as anti‐methanogenic additives in ruminant diets. The effect of leaf tannins from these different plant sources on rumen fermentation, protozoal populations and metha more

• Evaluation of vanillic acid as inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase isozyme III by using a modified Hummel–Dreyer method: approach for drug discovery

  ABSTRACT α‐3 carbonic anhydrase isozyme (CAIII) is the most abundant protein in adipocytes and considered insensitive to sulfonamide inhibitors. It was reported recently that the knock‐down of CAIII is attributed with controlling lipogenesis. Thus inhibition of this target may lead to the discov more
