The search for new drugs to combat diseases more effectively could be revolutionised through a new £30 million electron microscopy project. Experts would be able to see, for the first time, how a particular drug works within a patient at a cellular level or the molecular processes set in motion by a genetic mutation. The technology aims to create 3D images of cells at very high resolution...
In a paper published in the American Chemical Society journal researchers from Bourgogne University showed that the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) using multi modal – PET/MRI - showed promising improvements in imaging capabilities. Using an MR Solutions, cryogen free, 3T scanner with a PET clip on the sequential images were found to be highly beneficial...
Kanazawa University researchers use high-speed microscopy to investigate native structure and conformational dynamics of hemagglutinin in influenza A. The influenza A viruses, which have instigated deadly pandemics in the past, still remain a major global public health problem until today. Molecules known as virulence factors are produced by bacteria, viruses, and fungi to help them to infect host cells....

Research has revealed that a new blood test is able to detect disease relapse up to two years earlier than imaging in patients with early-stage breast cancer. The research, carried out by the University of Leicester and Imperial College London and funded by Cancer Research UK, showed that the blood test was able to detect 89 per cent of all relapses, on average 8.9 months quicker than imaging...
Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) is once again proudly partnering with the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Foundation to support young researchers and promote scientific progress. IDT is sponsoring theiGEM competition 2019 as a platinum sponsor for the sixth consecutive year. In order to make DNA synthesis accessible to all, the company will...
Chromatography is one of the most popular methods to test whether cannabis is safe for use or not. This has become an important part of the cannabis industry and the many new regulations that come with it. To ensure the health and well-being of consumers, chromatography is undergoing a major overhaul. The cannabis industry is growing exponentially thanks to the legalization...

Research and development in the UK’s medical sector is thriving. There are over 5,600 health and life sciences companies operating in the UK, generating more than £30bn in exports and employing more than 240,000 people. The medical technology sector is currently estimated to be worth in the region of £7.6bn, with almost 3,700 companies in the space. Of these 98% are small to medium-sized enterprises, employing near 115,000 skilled researchers, scientists....
You’d be hard pressed to pick up a science or medical journal these days without reading something about CRISPR. Since the game-changing CRISPR-Cas9 methodology was first harnessed for genome editing seven years ago, endless possibilities have been explored by a wide range of industries. Biochemists the world over are working around the clock to test the boundaries and limitations of this innovative practice.....
