• The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2010 goes to Robert G. Edwards for the development of in vitro fertilization

  Robert Edwards is awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize for the development of human in vitro fertilization (IVF) therapy. His achievements have made it possible to treat infertility, a medical condition afflicting a large proportion of humanity including more than 10% of all couples worldwide. As early as more

• A drug against AIDS could be effective against the herpes virus

  Scientists at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) headed by the coordinator of the Structural and Computational Biology Programme, Miquel Coll, have published a new study that demonstrates that raltegravir, the drug approved in 2007 for the treatment of AIDS that is sold by Mer more

• One molecule, many more insulin-producing cells to treat diabetes, says Pitt team

  With a single stimulatory molecule, human insulin-producing beta cell replication can be sustained for at least four weeks in a mouse model of diabetes, according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Diabetes, a journal of the American Diabetes Association. They also 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

• Growth of Campylobacter using BMG LABTECH’s FLUOstar Omega equipped with ACU
  

  Growth of the fastidious microorganism Campylobacter jejuni was monitored using a FLUOstar Omega microplate reader equipped with the Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) for independent control of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Growth was found tob e optimal at 7 % O2 and 10 % CO2 more

• Quantification of BRCA1 Expression Level Using Standard RT-PCR Reagents - a Sensitive Method for the Detection of Low Amounts of Transcripts
  

  Mutations in the breast cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA1, occur in the majority of families with multiple members affected with breast or ovarian cancer. Women who inherit a BRCA1 mutation have 40%-80% risk of developing breast cancer or ovarian cancer. However, up to 90% of breast cancers are sporadic, and mutations in BRCA1 seem to be a rare event in sporadic breast tumors. more

• Profile of Eckard Albert Friedrich Wimmer [Profiles]

  The finding caused an uproar. Researchers at Stony Brook University in New York had engineered poliovirus in a test tube (1). The discovery, led by Eckard Wimmer, elected in 2012 to the National Academy of Sciences, dispelled the belief that viruses require a live host to grow and spread.pnas;110/6/ more

• Tangled bank of experimentally evolved Burkholderia biofilms reflects selection during chronic infections [Microbiology]

  How diversity evolves and persists in biofilms is essential for understanding much of microbial life, including the uncertain dynamics of chronic infections. We developed a biofilm model enabling long-term selection for daily adherence to and dispersal from a plastic bead in a test tube. Focusing on more
