Music, Movies, Financial, Flow? |

Sony is huge, its global, and it may be focusing its ability to make cheap, high quality lasers on flow cytometry. Out of the production boon that has found the company leading the way in BluRay disc and laser technology, Sony finds it has an abundance of laser production technologies and infrastructure ready for use. From two plants in the Miyagi-ken region of Japan, Sony has been producing both red (660nm) and blue-violet (405nm) lasers since 2004. With the expansion of Blu-Ray and its defeat of HD-DVD, production has been steady and if industry leads prove true (iTunes may soon support the format) this technology has yet to reach its peak. This is likely to mean cheaper, and higher quality lasers, that could be put to use for flow cytometry in addition to the flow of movies, music and information. Keep an eye out. Sony press releases on laser diodes.

Clues on the Movement of Cancer Cells |
|
Monday, 30 March 2009 |
|
Based on research that reveals new insight into
mechanisms that allow invasive tumor cells to move, researchers at the
Mayo Clinic campus in Florida have a new understanding about how to
stop cancer from spreading. A cancer that spreads elsewhere in the
body, known as metastasis, is the process that most often leads to
death from the disease.
In the March 29 online issue of Nature Cell Biology,
researchers say that a molecule known as protein kinase D1 (PKD1) is
key to the ability of a tumor cell to "remodel" its structure, enabling
it to migrate and invade. The researchers found that if PKD1 is active,
tumor cells cannot move, a finding they say explains why PKD1 is
silenced in some invasive cancers.
