Similar protein in plants and animals could lead to breakthrough in cancer research |
|
Wednesday, 17 February 2010 |
|
As reported on February 15th on the university website, Purdue has discovered a protein that may prove to be an evolutionary link between plants and humans. The scientist, Wendy Peer, discovered that humans and plants have a similar protein; when represented in humans, is important in cancer development, and when represented in plants, is critical for root development. Peer has said that this discovery could lead to using plants instead of animals in cancer research, which allow researchers more control and options.

BD Biosciences to Collaborate With ReaMetrix in Development of Dried Reagents |
|
Tuesday, 02 February 2010 |
|
Limited access to laboratory testing facilities is one of the primary causes of improper CD4 monitering in managing HIV therapies in developing countries; one of the biggest challenges is dealing with a lack of adequate transport, storage and use of temperature-semsitive products and blood samples. A collaboration between BD Biosciences and ReaMetrix suggests an end to these concerns. As reported on medicalnewstoday.com on Jan. 14th, BD, along with ReaMatrix, announced plans to develop dried reagents for its BD FACSCount Flow Cytometry System which is widely used in the CD4 monitering of HIV/AIDS patients in developing countries. This development could eliminate the need for refrigeration, allowing more sites to offer CD4 counting.
