Chronic wounds are a major health problem for diabetic patients and the elderly – in extreme cases they can even lead to amputation. Using electric stimulation, researchers in a project at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, and the University of Freiburg, Germany, have developed a method that speeds up the healing process, making wounds heal three times faster...
Get Better Images from Deep within Your Sample. The new SLIDEVIEW™ VS200 v. 4.1 software supports a host of new features, including the SILA optical sectioning device that enables you to obtain high-contrast images from deep within your sample. The SILA optical sectioning device uses speckle illumination combined with HiLo microscopy to achieve high-contrast images. This camera-based technology quickly captures two illuminated images that are then mathematically processed to remove out-of-focus light...
Applied Maintenance and Troubleshooting for Gas Chromatography and Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry. This course has been approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry for purposes of Continuing Professional Development. This course looks at the parts of the GC and GC-MS system requiring maintenance. The frequency and how to identify when maintenance is required, are covered in detail. The course then looks at preparing for problems, how to identify problems and the troubleshooting process...
Ziath, a Azenta Life Sciences company, announce a revolution in cryogenic sample management – the Ri-Track Mirage 2D barcoded tube whole rack reader. Traditionally identifying the identity of frost covered racks of 2D barcoded tubes taken from low temperature storage has been a time-consuming and error prone process. Drawing upon proprietary Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tagging technology – the Ri-Track Mirage can reliably read 2D barcoded racks covered in ice and with racks taken directly from vapour-phase liquid nitrogen storage...

The idea that inflammation—constant, low-level, immune-system activation —could be at the root of chronic diseases such as cancer, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, and even depression is a bold claim. Until relatively recently, this claim was met with skepticism in labs and lecture halls. Can unconnected illnesses of different organs and body parts really share a biological link? Researchers in molecular biology have been compiling evidence that many chronic conditions are triggered by the immune system’s inflammatory response...
