Data from the largest Phase III trial ever conducted in myeloma have shown a significant, 95%, increase in progression free survival (PFS) in myeloma patients receiving lenalidomide maintenance treatment.
Researchers from the Myeloma XI trial have concluded that the use of maintenance lenalidomide treatment results in highly significant improvements in PFS for patients of all ages, and it should be used as standard care. This pathway of the trial explored the use of oral lenalidomide taken until disease progression, compared to no maintenance treatment....

AMSBIO reports on the recent publication in Nature Protocols by Dr Meritxell Huch and co-workers which describes development of culture conditions that allow the long-term expansion of adult primary tissues from the liver and pancreas into self-assembling 3D organoid cultures.
Traditionally adult somatic tissues have proven difficult to expand in vitro, largely because of the complexity of recreating appropriate environmental signals in culture. Huch** and co-workers have overcome this problem and describe recently established protocols for the long-term (> 1 year) expansion and genetic manipulation of adult liver and pancreas cells in 3D organoid culture...
Researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks are using a METTLER TOLEDO Rainin Pos-D™ positive-displacement pipette to investigate the role of chemical dispersants in the biodegradation of oil in Arctic marine environments.
