Avexa and Novasep announced the signing of a manufacturing agreement for the production of apricitabine, Avexa's novel nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, which is in clinical development for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus infection. More...28 Feb 2007

Cancers Cured by Minimally Invasive Irreversible Electroporation Treatment
A recent publication described the use of irreversible electroporation (IRE) as a minimally invasive surgical technique to selectively destroy cancer cells while leaving surrounding structural tissues and blood vessels undamaged More...28 Feb 2007
Markers Identify Herceptin-Resistant Breast Cancer Subtypes
Using gene chips to profile tumors before treatment, scientists found markers that identified breast cancer subtypes resistant to Herceptin, the primary treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer. This advance could help further refine therapy for the 25–30% of breast cancer patients with this class of tumor. More...27 Feb 2007
Capillary UV Imaging Detector Evaluates Biocatalytic Activity
A versatile format for nl scale chemistry and biochemistry separations in capillaries can be readily integrated with other in-capillary processes such as mixing and reaction, laying the foundations for a versatile and widely applicable new lab-on-capillary format. More...27 Feb 2007
Kit Analyzes Human DNA for Forensic Laboratories
A commercial reagent kit is being developed for analyzing degraded or limited DNA. In addition, a system is being developed with new software for automating DNA testing processes to streamline forensic laboratory workflow, as well as a new software application for expediting the process of laboratory validation.
