Lab of the Future – News and Features

Using an informatics tool that identifies “hotspots” of post-translational modification activity on proteins, researchers have found a previously-unknown mechanism that puts the brakes on an important cell signaling process involving the G proteins found in most living organisms.

The expansion will include mid-scale mammalian capacity and the addition of new cell-therapy suites.

We spoke to Steve Conly, Vice President & General Manager, Microbiology for BD Diagnostics Systems, to learn more about the challenges facing clinical microbiology labs, and how informatics and automation solutions can help overcome these.

Agilent Technologies has announced the takeover of LIMS provider Genohm, in a bid to provide a single informatics solution across its laboratory and operational domains.

PhD Student Egzona Morina has traveled back to her country of birth to set up BrainCamp Kosovo to engage students with neuroscience and encourage them into science careers.

A new case study from Autoscribe Informatics discusses the use of the Matrix LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) in the Cereal, Milling and Baking Science Laboratory at Allied Technical Centre (ATC).

As part of work recently published in Science Advances, a team of researchers from the Institute of Systems Biology at Yale University has built a microfluidic device to demonstrate that single cells preserve a memory of their mother's dynamic response to glucose limitation stress for multiple generations.

A chunk of code that normally helps get rid of suspect banking offers and clickbait from your email inbox has now been used to visualize the movements of the tiny animal Hydra.

A daily dose of baking soda may help reduce the destructive inflammation of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, scientists say. Explore how drinking baking soda may influence immune responses, kidney acid–base balance and digestion.

To develop the best therapeutic mAb for treatment of a disease, hundreds of clones must be screened in downstream assays characterizing specificity, affinity, and binding kinetics. This article highlights ways to increase the throughput of purifying mAbs.
