SDMS - Unstructured Data Management in the Paperless Lab
Ovum
With the volume of scientific data increasing exponentially year after year, the life sciences industry's need for data-management solutions continues to grow. SDMS solutions continue to evolve and provide organizations with a means of achieving further gains in productivity and efficiency.
Biostorage Trends 2010

Back to the Lab! Improving R&D Productivity and Efficiency with LIMS and ELNs
Datamonitor plc
The rigorous R&D processes of pharma and biotech have provided them with a wealth of data, documents and knowledge, but this information is often held in organizational silos, paper laboratory notebooks and disparate IT systems, rendering them virtually useless. Therefore, life sciences companies are implementing LIMS and ELNs to remove the silos and connect R&D groups across the enterprise.

Protein array-based screening of autoantibody signatures
Fondazione Istituto Nazionale Genetica Molecolare
The evidence for an association between autoimmune diseases and chronic HCV infection has been clearly established. To this aim, a protein array was employed to analyze serum samples of HCV patients w/wo autoimmune complications, of patients with autoimmune hepatitis but not infected with HCV and of healthy donors as controls. A panel of autoantigens able to discriminate among the three groups of patients was identified for potential use as biomarkers.

Treatment of Plaque Infections and Periodontitis using Stem Cells- A New Prospect
Rajalakshmi Engineering college
Dental precursor cells are attractive for novel approaches to treat diseases like periodontitis, dental caries or to improve dental pulp healing and the regeneration of craniofacial bone and teeth. These cells are easily accessible and, in contrast to bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, are more closely related to dental tissues. This paper gives a short overview of stem cells of dental origin.
