The majority of gastric cancers harbor genomic alterations (GAs) associated with potential benefit from targeted therapies, according to a new study published in The Oncologist on April 16, 2015.
These findings suggest a role for genotype-directed management of locally advanced and metastatic gastric cancer. To date, the ERBB2 amplification is the only GA in advanced gastric cancer associated with a survival benefit in response to targeted therapy. However, because most patients with gastric cancer do not harbor this rare alteration, most cannot benefit from targeted therapy under current practice guidelines. To identify additional...

The 'Safe' Series of products from Cleaver Scientific have been designed to make DNA electrophoresis procedures safer, more convenient and more economical to run.
It is widely acknowledged that the main hazards of traditional DNA gel electrophoresis lie in the use of Ethidium Bromide stain, a known mutagen and carcinogen, and using UV illumination sources which can cause eye and skin damage. Furthermore, traditional DNA electrophoresis is usually performed without researchers knowing much about what is happening on the gel unit until it is stopped and checked. This blind 'stop and start’ process, where an...
For the first time a 3T, 4.7T or 7T preclinical bench top MRI scanner can be placed inside a Class 3 or 4 laboratory providing superior soft tissue contrast and high spatial resolution.
