Bruker Corporation announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Philip Ma, Ph.D. to serve on its board, effective as of April 1, 2022.

Scientists at the Josep Carreras Institute and CIC Biogune in Spain have revealed in their study that blood vessels regulate obesity through a molecular communication in which vessel cells instruct fat cells.

A 30-year study of more than 110,000 health professionals found that participants who ate at least two servings of avocado a week had a lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared to those who rarely ate avocados. Replacing animal products like butter, cheese or bacon with avocado was also associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease events.

Dxcover has secured US patents for its game-changing Autosampler and Brain Cancer Liquid Biopsy. The unique devices help for the early detection of cancer which leads to earlier diagnosis for the patients.

One out of three people in a large survey showed signs of exposure to a pesticide called 2,4-D, according to a study published today by researchers at the George Washington University. This novel research found that human exposure to this chemical has been rising as agricultural use of the chemical has increased, a finding that raises worries about possible health implications.

Bioscientists at the Kaust University have revealed that changes in batch cultures could lead to a significant impact on cell processes and research reproducibility as the cells grow. In this background, there is a need for enhanced procedures and more monitoring.

Eight substances have been added to the US Report on Carcinogens, bringing the total list to 256 substances that are known, or reasonably anticipated, to cause cancer in humans. This is the 15th Report on Carcinogens, which is a cumulative report, mandated by Congress and prepared by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) for the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Researchers have revealed that an increase in red or processed meat trade across the globe can be directly linked to a rise in diet-related illnesses (non-communicable diseases). The greatest effect of this scenario can be seen in Northern and Eastern Europe as well as the island nations of Caribbean and Oceania. To take charge of this situation, they suggest that health policies should be integrated with agricultural and trade policies.

A leading biopharmaceutical company has selected Bilfinger to support the development of its new production facility for mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid)-based active ingredients. Under the terms of the contract, Bilfinger will deliver prefabricated skids i.e. molecular biological reactors as well as build the plant’s process piping systems.

It is essential for cells to control precisely which of the many genes of their genetic material they use. This is done in so-called transcription factories, molecular clusters in the nucleus. Researchers have now found that the formation of transcription factories resembles the condensation of liquids.
