Do you know an outstanding lab manager deserving recognition? This quarter, we invite you to nominate your lab manager to be featured in our upcoming newsletter, social media channels and blog. The winners will be randomly selected for a chance to win a $1,000 gift card plus $250 for their lab! The process is simple:
Research led by European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) scientists has been able to offer a more in-depth look into the connection between RNA polymerase I (Pol I) and mutation-linked diseases. Cryo-electron microscopy enabled researchers to view the structure of human Pol I at a more detailed level than ever before, insight that could be useful
Our mission is to facilitate access to unique reagents developed by academic laboratories worldwide on behalf of the scientific community. Together with our providing investigators, we work to distribute reagents that might otherwise sit unused in laboratory freezers to researchers committed to furthering scientific progress. As we enter 2022, we take a look back at
In recent decades, an increasing number of research studies have centered on zinc. While scientists have long known zinc is a required nutrient for human health, the discovery of zinc transcription factors and zinc transporters with clinical applications led to an increased interest in the element. As a result, new tools and reagents have been
While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to dominate the world’s health-related news, other diseases have not slowed down their assault on the global population, especially in the poorest nations. Malaria remains an enduring health challenge, resulting in more than 400,000 deaths per year, including 260,000 children, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). However, there has
As we near the end of 2021, we can reflect on all the positive accomplishments our scientific community achieved. Multiple highly effective COVID-19 vaccines were developed and approved for use globally. As a result, we were able to reunite with family and friends and resume work in the lab. This quarter, we invite you to
Researchers at the University of South Florida suggest that fenchol, a natural compound found in some plants including basil, may help protect against Alzheimer’s disease pathology in the brain. The discovery of a sensing mechanism associated with the gut, which was published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, shows how fenchol reduces neurotoxicity in Alzheimer’s patients.
Scientists at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and Pulmobiotics S.L have generated the first ‘living medicine’ to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria growing on the surfaces of medical implants. The study published in the journal Molecular Systems Biology highlights a treatment that removes a common bacteria’s ability to cause disease and alternatively repurposes it to attack
A group of researchers led by Dr. Albert Edge at Mass Eye and Ear have identified the reason deafness occurs in a rare syndrome known as Norrie disease. Researchers discovered that the Norrie Disease Protein (NDP) is lacking in patients with the disease and is essential for maintenance and survival of hair cells in the
New research from North Carolina State University showed that high-grade gliomas contained more immune cells associated with suppressing immune response than low-grade gliomas. This evidence adds to previous research suggesting that these brain tumors may recruit cells that aid in immunosuppression. This research, published in Veterinary Pathology, is significant because it could inform future immunotherapy-based
