Scientists at the University of Dundee have identified the effects of a mutation that gives rise to a form of Intellectual Disability. Intellectual Disability is a type of developmental brain disorder in young patients which to date remains poorly understood and is incurable. Researchers in the School of Life Sciences at Dundee focussed on mutations in the OGT gene, which plays a critical role in protecting brain cells against stress. In patients harbouring...
Researchers at Okayama University describe in the journal Scientific Reports the role of an extracellular protein, versican, in regulating tumor growth and providing a newly formed network of blood vessels to further nourish the tumor. Angiogenesis is the creation of new blood vessels from the branching of pre-existing ones....

Sterghios Moschos, Associate Professor in Cellular and Molecular Sciences at Northumbria University discusses the benefits of gene therapies and the financial implications of treatments. If you were born with a rare form of blindness, there is now a treatment for you that may restore your eyesight. That’s because gene therapies became a clinical reality in 2017. Yet many people with rare diseases that could be treated in this way may never benefit from these therapies because they are too expensive for drug companies to develop...
It would have been difficult to anticipate the growth of the Scientific Laboratory Show and Conference when it began in 2010. From an initial attendance of around 400, we are now anticipating over 1,000 visitors at our fifth show, and are delighted with the popularity of the conference. We pride ourselves on running the entire show without outsourcing the management to an events company, and this has enabled us to maintain our SLS-ness as the show grows, continuing to place customers at the heart of what we do....
Ingenza is pleased to announce its relocation to Roslin Innovation Centre, a £30 million, multi-purpose research hub on the University of Edinburgh’s Easter Bush Campus. The centre offers 41,000 sq ft of flexible laboratory and office space, and Ingenza will occupy 11,000 sq ft on the top floor, with its own secure access to ensure security and confidentiality.
SpeeDx’s ResistancePlus® MG Positive Control kit has now been listed with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for sale in the United States through the company’s recently incorporated US entity, SpeeDx Inc...
Change from a 350 litre Power-Door autoclave to a Priorclave 450 litre laboratory autoclave installed in the ‘plant’ research laboratory of York University’s Biology Department has strengthened its green credentials, slashing significantly energy costs associated with running a sterilisation process for compost and vegetation with a massive 90% reduction in water usage....
Horizontal cylindrical chamber autoclaves manufactured by Priorclave are among the most energy efficient laboratory autoclaves currently available. Such is their potential for savings on energy and water usage the Priorclave QCS range of research autoclaves is also much in demand by Universities where stringent budgetary control is essential. On stand E41, Hall 4.2 at the forthcoming ACHEMA exhibition Priorclave will be...
