Eisai presents new research evaluating correlation of Abeta in plasma and CSF with automated protein assay system

Eisai Co.,Ltd. announced its latest research on evaluation about correlation of amyloid beta (Abeta) in plasma and in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by high precision measurement with the newly developed automated protein assay system, jointly developed with Sysmex Corporation, using full automated immunoassay system HISCLTM series for creating the simplified diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease with blood was presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference held in Los Angeles, California, United States, from July 14 to 18, 2019.

Receptor in the uterus can detect sperm molecule, aids in sperm survival

Why does it take 200 million sperms to fertilize a single egg? The single sperm that reached the finished line has successfully survived multiple checkpoints within the female reproductive tract, dubbed as pre-fertilization events. Now, a new study shows that the uterus contains receptors that facilitate sperm survival.
