Life Science White Papers are in-depth articles aimed to educate and inform site visitors interested in life science research. Some of these papers are derived from sources where we have existing commercial relationships. Such articles are clearly labelled as sponsored content and are only accepted when the content is deemed to add value to the core editorial ethos of News Medical.

Simplifying iPSC Work Flow with IncuCyte Live Content Imaging System

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are characterized by the ability to self-renew and retain their pluripotency just like embryonic stem cells. As a result, they have the ability to be distinguished into any cell type of the body, making them ideal candidates for a variety of applications, including regenerative medicine, drug screening, and toxicology.

NMR Spectroscopy in Food Safety Maintenance

Food safety regulations are followed to the letter by food manufacturers, yet there are still instances in which suspicious food products—whether they’re contaminated or shipped to a continent illegally—slip through the system and end up in the public food supply.

Micro-CT in Preclinical Imaging: Bone Regeneration in Three Dimensions

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a procedure that has been used in dental surgery for over 20 years for the treatment of bone loss. It involves placing bone graft material within an absorbable or non-resorbable membrane that is impermeable to epithelial cells and fibroblasts.

Tackling antibiotic resistance through streamlined antimicrobial stewardship

Since the discovery of penicillin in 1928, antibiotics have revolutionized the treatment of infections. In the 20th century, previously common and deadly diseases, such as tuberculosis, suddenly became curable and, since then, antibiotics have become a mainstay of modern healthcare.

Protein Allostery and NMR

Allostery – the phenomenon by which an event in one part of a molecule causes an effect in another – is a key feature of protein regulation in all living cells. Rather than directly affecting a protein’s active site, allostery can modulate the active state of a protein through ligand binding, covalent modification or mutation elsewhere in the protein.
