Advances in FluidFM-related research will be showcased at Cytosurge's first FluidFM User Conference

The first FluidFM User Conference organized by Cytosurge has been a complete success – this was the feedback of our attendees.

New study provides insights into developmental organization of the brain

What makes us human, and where does this mysterious property of "humanness" come from? Humans are genetically similar to chimpanzees and bonobos, yet there exist obvious behavioral and cognitive differences.

MGH researchers identify brain cells that modulate behavioral response to threats

A team of investigators from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Center for Regenerative Medicine has identified a population of brain cells that appears to play a role in calibrating behavioral responses to potentially threatening situations.

Mutations in folliculin gene affect embryo implantation

New information is unfolding on the genetic controls of an early turning point in pregnancy. As the tiny, dividing cell mass, the blastocyst, travels from the oviduct and lodges in the wall of the uterus, the cells must exit their pre-implantation state and be ready for post-implantation development.

Beta wave control in Parkinson’s diseased brain could be a potential therapy

A neurofeedback system whereby the patients with Parkinson’s disease can themselves voluntarily control the beta wave activity in their own deep brain and the effects this control might have on their symptom control.

Neurofeedback system enables Parkinson's patients to voluntarily control brain wave activity

Parkinson's disease is associated with abnormal beta wave activity in the subthalamic nucleus, but a direct connection between this activity and movement difficulties has not yet been established.

Chloroplast retrograde signaling attenuates elongation response to shade in plants

Plants need sunlight to feed and grow. Without light, the photosynthesis, the reaction by which the plant chloroplasts convert atmospheric CO2 and water into sugars and oxygen, cannot take place.

Researchers unravel path of metallodrug in a breast cancer cell

Some types of cancer cannot be treated with classical chemotherapy. Scientists from Inserm, CNRS, Sorbonne University, PSL university, University Grenoble Alpes and ESRF, the European Synchrotron, are working on a metallorganic molecule as an antitumor drug.

Iridium attached to albumin can attack cancer cells when blasted with light

A new compound based on Iridium, a rare metal which landed in the Gulf of Mexico 66 M years ago, hooked onto albumin, a protein in blood, can attack the nucleus of cancerous cells when switched on by light, University of Warwick researchers have found.

New system for early detection of lupus developed

Autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis, are difficult to diagnose, specially in early stages. Specifically, in the case of lupus, specific antibodies aimed at antigens located in the nucleus of cells appear, including the anti-Ro/SSA.

New autism mouse model shows how epigenetic regulation impacts downstream gene

The causes of autism spectrum disorder are diverse and to some extent, unknown. But without doubt, they are complex, layered and deeply nuanced.

Researchers discover how transcription factors find specific loci within DNA

Bioengineering experts have discovered that transcription factors which bind non-specifically to mitotic chromosomes are more efficient at finding their binding site within DNA during interphase.

30 Jan 2019

EZH2 mutations can be used as marker for diagnosing different types of cancers

Inside the cell, DNA is tightly wrapped around proteins and packed in a complex, 3D structure that we call "chromatin".

Leica Microsystems' new THUNDER imagers set to transform visualization of 3D samples

World-leading designer and manufacturer of innovative microscope solutions, Leica Microsystems, has announced the launch of a new class of instruments for high-speed, high-quality imaging of a large diversity of samples, including thick specimens.

Researchers discover new details of brain pathway related to impulsive behaviors

Researchers from Singapore and South Korea have uncovered new details of a brain pathway that can cause impulsive behaviors.

25 Jan 2019

Genetic risk for developing psychiatric disorders or cognitive traits manifest in brain structure from childhood

There is only scant scientific evidence available on whether the genetic risk for developing specific psychiatric disorders or cognitive traits is manifest in brain structure from childhood and, to date, studies have focused primarily on adult populations. The question remains unanswered.

Erasing memories could reduce relapse rates among drug addicts

Erasing memories that link environmental cues to drug use could represent a potential new treatment for drug addiction and prevent relapse.

Scientists discover a dramatic pattern of bone growth in female mice

UCLA and UC San Francisco life scientists have discovered a dramatic pattern of bone growth in female mice -- research that could potentially lead to stronger bone density in women and new treatments for osteoporosis in older women.

18 Jan 2019

Researchers discover mechanism which drives leukemia cell growth

A mechanism which drives leukemia cell growth has been discovered by researchers at the University of Sussex, who believe their findings could help to inform new strategies when it comes to treating cancer.

Location of epigenetic changes co-locate with genetic signal causing psychartric disorder

It's no surprise to scientists that variety is the very essence of biology, not just the seasoning, but most previous studies of key brain cells have found little variability in a common cell process that involves how genetic information is read and acted on.
