High-Res Imaging Obtained with Conventional Microscopes
Researchers have developed a technique for obtaining high-resolution images of tissue samples with confocal microscopes, at a fraction of the cost of other techniques that offer similar resolution. This level of resolution allowed them to see, for example, proteins that cluster together in complex patterns at brain synapses. More...24 Apr 2017
Hand-Held Test Kit Developed for Chemotherapy Patients
Chemotherapy often reduces blood cell counts, exposing patients to infections, anemia and other problems. Low blood counts, when discovered, are also the major cause of delayed treatment or reduced treatment dosage. The normal procedure has been for a patient to turn up at the hospital and take a blood test before undergoing treatment, but in 20% of cases they were being sent home because their blood counts were too low.

Biosensor Chips Identify Antibiotic Treatment Faster
Bacterial infections are still a major cause of death in the Western world, and because of over and mistreatment antibiotics resistant bacterial stains are increasing every day. In the UK, it is estimated that 300,000 patients a year acquire infections in hospital, with over 9,000 dying from bacterial infections. More...14 Apr 2017
Circulating TB Antigens Allows Rapid Diagnosis of Active Disease
A rapid and quantitative blood-based assay with high sensitivity and specificity for active Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infections has been developed that can be used to monitor responses to anti-mycobacterial therapy. More...13 Apr 2017
