Population growth, aging populations and increases in cancer incidence have necessitated new approaches to identifying effective treatments. One such approach involves the repositioning, or repurposing, of drugs already FDA approved in either non-oncology disease states and/or approved in a limited number of tumor types. The repurposing of these drugs for new indications represents an ...
A paper on the detection of phospholipids from skin via DMS has been published! The IonVision system was tested with porcine skin, and then further refined to analyze a small number of human basal cell carcinoma and healthy skin samples. The classification accuracies achieved (over 90 %!) encourage us to plan studies with a larger number of skin samples. The research article is available as ...
Virus-like particles (VLPs) have garnered significant attention in recent years for their potential applications in vaccine development, drug delivery, and as tools in various biotechnological fields. These nanoparticles mimic the structure of viruses but lack the viral genetic material that makes viruses infectious. This unique characteristic offers a versatile platform for various innovative ...
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have revolutionized the field of regenerative medicine and cellular biology. They are derived from somatic cells that have been genetically reprogrammed back into an embryonic-like pluripotent state. This transformation enables them to differentiate into any cell type, offering significant potential for disease modeling, drug discovery, and therapeutic ...
Human ovarian epithelial cells play a crucial role in ovarian function and have become a significant focus in cancer research, specifically ovarian cancer. The ability to study these cells in a laboratory setting has been greatly enhanced through the development of immortalized human ovarian epithelial cell lines, particularly those that utilize the SV40 (Simian Virus 40) large T antigen. ...
Immortalized human podocytes represent a significant advancement in the field of renal research, offering scientists an unprecedented opportunity to study kidney function and pathology. These specialized cells play a crucial role in the filtration barrier of the kidneys, and their immortality allows for extended experimentation beyond the limitations of primary cell cultures. Podocytes are unique ...
Abstract In pharmaceutical synthesis, heavy metal catalysts are commonly used, and their residues often remain in the final product. These heavy metals—primarily from catalyst residues—not only affect drug efficacy but also pose serious health risks to patients. As a result, pharmacopoeias in various countries impose strict limits on heavy metal content in pharmaceutical substances. ...
A recent study led by Decan Jiang and colleagues from RWTH Aachen and Heidelberg University Hospitals in Germany has shed light on how porcine models are helping surgical training—particularly in the complex field of kidney transplantation. Pigs are anatomically and physiologically close to humans, making them ideal candidates for surgical training. Practicing renal ...
