The effectiveness of antibiotics can be altered by combining them with each other, non-antibiotic drugs or even with food additives. Depending on the bacterial species, some combinations stop antibiotics from working to their full potential whilst others begin to defeat antibiotic resistance.

Biogazelle is pleased to announce the appointment of Armin Winands as its new
CEO effective 1st July 2018, following Jan Hellemans who will take on the role of CTO after 10 years as CEO.

Rise in blood biomarkers associated with prolonged inflammation may help with earlier sepsis detection

Researchers have developed a sensing technology that enables the super-sensitive measurement of biomarker concentrations over time.

Damage to DNA is a daily occurrence but one that human cells have evolved to manage. Now researchers have determined how one DNA repair protein gets to the site of DNA damage. The authors hope this discovery will help identify new therapies for ovarian cancer.

A new study conducted at the University of Copenhagen now reveals that the enzyme TLK2 displays lower levels of activity in intellectual disability and that it is possible to inhibit it in breast cancer, where it is overactive, suggesting that the enzyme may be a target for potential therapies.

Transposons are DNA sequences that have the potential to move to new positions within the genome. Their mobilization in the genome of eggs and sperm can lead to infertility. An RNA-based defense system, the Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway, is responsible for the suppression of transposons. A new study has advanced understanding of how Piwi fends off jumping genes.

Millions of lipid panels, blood tests that look at cholesterol levels as well as triglycerides, are performed each year, and are key to assessing risk for heart disease. New studies suggest current tests, which measure the abundance of lipid classes, are insufficient and should be replaced by tests to identify lipids at the individual species level.

Changes in microRNA detected long before neurogeneration symptoms appear in mice

An artificial intelligence radar system is being developed to detect changes in blood glucose concentration
