Immunoassays – News and Features

Newborn screening is a relatively easy and cost-effective way of improving the identification of babies with a medical condition in a timely fashion. This allows newborns to receive the treatment needed before irreversible damage has developed.

In this article, explore how next-generation protein sequencing is helping to unlock the proteome.

Bioprocessing involves the production of a high-value-added product from a living source. In this article, the stages of bioprocessing are described, with a focus on the central piece of this concept: the bioreactor.

Researchers have demonstrated a light-based method that detects coronavirus proteins.

Researchers investigated the ability of metformin to protect human cells and mice from DNA damage due to radiation exposure. If successfully repurposed, the drug has the potential to help at-risk groups, such as cancer patients and astronauts.

In this article, Asim Siddiqui explores the emerging ability of proteomics to reveal new biomarkers for disease.

KRAS inhibitors are showing initial promise in clinical trials, but many tumors quickly develop resistance to the treatment. Now, researchers have discovered a new mechanism of resistance that suggests an opportunity to make the treatment more effective.

The ability to obtain pure proteins is essential for developing drugs, creating vaccines and understanding biological processes. In this article, we discuss what a typical protein purification protocol involves and the various techniques used.

Western blotting is a staple technique in many laboratories but can be time consuming and inconsistent. Technology Networks spoke with Harsha Rao to learn more about Stain-Free western blotting and the advantages of total protein normalization.

Autoantibodies that target type 1 interferons and impair immune responses could contribute to severe COVID-19, suggests new research.
