Scientists move closer towards simpler, accurate detection of bacterial contaminants in food and water

Food poisoning is a scourge. Yet preventing it is far from foolproof. But in a new study in Analytical Chemistry, scientists report that they are closing in on a way to use a combination of color-changing paper and electrochemical analysis -- on plastic transparency sheets or simple paper -- to quickly, cheaply and more accurately detect bacterial contamination of fruits and vegetables in the field before they reach grocery stores, restaurants and household pantries.

Messaging software promotes healing in surgery patients

Many patients can recover from major surgery more quickly if they diligently follow recommended practices to aid the body's healing process — but it's difficult for these patients to remember and follow the many instructions they've been given, especially after surgery has left them weary, medicated and in discomfort.

Deep learning transforms the drug discovery process in collaboration between Insilico Medicine and Life Extension

In March 2016 Insilico Medicine initiated a research collaboration with Life Extension to apply advanced bioinformatic methods and deep learning algorithms to screen for naturally occurring compounds that may slow down or even reverse the cellular and molecular mechanisms of aging. Today Life Extension (LE) launched a new line of nutraceuticals called GEROPROTECTTM, and the first product in the series called Ageless CellTM combines some of the natural compounds that were shortlisted by Insilico Medicine’s algorithms and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS).
