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.
Precision medicine has the potential to revolutionize diagnostics. It allows for the targeting of a patient’s specific mutations, providing a far more tailored approach. The ability of this to potentially aid cancer therapy is massive and an exciting development in the world of medicine.
Discover in this article how to uncover soft tissue anatomy.
Through paracrine signaling, TGF- can help to form the tumor microenvironment, activate cancer-associated fibroblasts, promote angiogenesis, produce extracellular matrix, and eventually
promote tumor metastasis.

IL-6 is a crucial pleiotropic inflammatory cytokine. Increased IL-6 is seen in patients who are suffering from microbial infections and other similar inflammatory conditions. The serum level of IL-6 is usually associated with the severity of the inflammation.
Host cell proteins (HCPs) are impurities that arise from the production of cell-based biotherapeutics. HCPs can affect product efficacy and even safety. Sino Biological provides recombinant lipases of high purity that can be used as references for HCP assays.
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine of the IL-6 superfamily. IL-18 mediates signaling; a key feature of immunomodulatory cytokine networks involved in inflammation. Participating in both innate and adaptive immunity, IL-18 mediates host immunity.
The innate immune response is the first line of defense against infections. Among the many families of cytokines involved in the immune system, the IL-1 family is most strongly associated with innate
immunity.
Decarboxylation is a critical process in cannabis production and consumption, this article explains how and why it is carried out.
This study has significant implications in understanding HCC (Hepatocellular Carcinoma) development and progression and opens the door to novel therapeutics to treat the disease.
With cryogenics, the ability to freeze, store, and transfer genetic material has revolutionized animal
breeding both for business and conservation.
While most cells in the body are differentiated and serve a specific function, stem cells are
undifferentiated, meaning they can develop into many cell types that can serve numerous purposes.
Cryogenics can be used for in vitro fertilization (IVF), wherein embryos, sperm, and oocytes can be
frozen and preserved for use for fertility treatment at a later date.
An autofill cryogenic freezer can minimize the risk of error and inevitable variability posed by manual
filling and handling.
Laboratory rotary evaporators use evaporation to gently and efficiently remove solvents from various sample types, EcoChyll lab rotary evaporators from Ecodyst are at the cutting-edge of the evaporative process producing the first lab rotary evaporators that use metal condensers.
Polymers play a vital role in medicine and due to their mechanical properties, chemical stability, low
cost, and easy fabricability, polymers find widespread application in biomedical devices and drug delivery systems.
This article discusses using isoprene as a marker in human breath to determine the changes in blood
cholesterol levels in individuals.
