No longer confined to research projects and blue sky thinking, personalised medicine is having an impact in the real world, providing smarter diagnosis, guiding treatment decisions and producing better outcomes.

Umbilical cord-derived stem cells could be the answer for patients with heart failure. A study published yesterday, indicates that cardiac muscle function and quality-of-life could be enhanced after treatment with this specific type of stem cell.

Using cutting-edge neuroscience techniques, researchers have identified 176 neurons in the hypothalamus crucial for mediating the survival behavioral drive to drink.

21 of the leading neuroscience labs across the world are joining forces to solve the secrets of the brain, using Lego

Researchers have discovered a compound with the ability to induce long-lasting bronchorelaxation and prevent hyperreactivity in murine models of asthma.

Commonly used to separate, identify, and quantify the individual components of a mixture, liquid chromatography (LC) is a vital tool in the arsenal of analytical techniques used for research and development, as well as quality control across a wide range of industries.

In order to develop an effective LC-MS method to quantify biotherapeutics, technologies should be paired with reliable protein digestion and purification strategies, supported by liquid chromatography instruments that can deliver optimum levels of resolution, sensitivity and throughput.

Researchers at the University of Cardiff, UK have developed a Python based computational workflow that is tailored to the analysis of large volumes of data, with the ability to identify novel lipids.

The lipid, 10-nitro-oleic-acid, an endogenous nitro-fatty acid (NFA) modulator, is being explored as a treatment for chronic inflammatory diseases. Prof. Valerie O'Donnell's group was one of the few that originally identified the lipid’s ability to reduce inflammation.

Evidence from neurobiological research points to cannabinoids as possible therapeutic agents of interest for PTSD, a condition that over 3.5 million people suffer with in the USA alone.
