New Microneedle
Applicator Device |
 |
Microneedles are designed to
be painless whilst overcoming the
natural barrier function of the skin
that is located in the outermost layer
of the epidermis, the stratum corneum
(SC).

A
diagnostic marker
for early cancer detection |
 |
Early stage diagnostics of cancer is important,
because patients who are treated for cancer at
an early stage have a higher chance on survival.
The found marker has a high specificity and
sensitivity and can be included in or developed
into DNA methylation kits that are used for
non-invasive detection of (pre-symptomatic)
cancer such as fecal DNA testing.

Blocking mechanism found for antibiotic
resistance in bacteria |
 |
It's as simple as A,
T, G, C. Northwestern University scientists have
exploited the Watson-Crick base pairing of DNA to
provide a defensive tool that could be used to fight the
spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria -- one of
the world's most pressing public health problems.

SRS
microscopy helps track molecules and drugs in live
cells |
 |
A new type of highly sensitive microscopy
developed by researchers at Harvard University could
greatly expand the limits of modern biomedical imaging,
allowing scientists to track the location of minuscule
metabolites and drugs in living cells and tissues
without the use of any kind of fluorescent labelling.

Genetic
links found between type 1 diabetes and celiac

Type 1 (juvenile) diabetes and celiac disease appear to
share a common genetic origin, scientists at the
University of Cambridge and Barts and The London School
of Medicine and Dentistry, have confirmed.Their findings, which are
reported in this week's edition of the
New England Journal of Medicine,
identified seven chromosome regions which

Discovery of tumour growth enzyme could lead

They say they have unpicked the structure of telomerase,
an enzyme which, when active, helps keep cells in an
"immortal" state and they say it is present in more than
nine out of ten types of tumours. Telomerase,
an elusive enzyme, is a complex structure which
has been under investigation by researchers
worldwide for more...

Advance in K-Ras-mutated cancer
research |
 |
The only known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's
disease slows down the brain's ability to export a toxic
protein known as amyloid-beta that is central to the
damage the disease causes, scientists have found.
The research, published Nov. 13 by the
Journal of
Clinical Investigation, provides new clues into the
workings of a protein known as apolipoprotein E4, or
ApoE4. People who carry two copies of the gene have
roughly eight...

There has been a

parts of Norway since women there began undergoing
mammography every two years and the rates among
regularly screened women have remained higher than rates
among women of the same age who were screened only once
after six years.
