...ological system and being able to corroborate them subsequently in vivo. In this regard, Buceta, who leads a group dedicated to modelling biological processes (the SiMBioSys) in the CeRQT, explains that the advantage of these modelling techniques is that they can simulate genetic and cell interactions as a set ...

Nodal Status is the Best Predictor in Esophageal Cancer

...eated with the two mixtures in the laboratory were subsequently tested in field trials, in the rice-growing area 40 km North of Bobo-Dioulasso, in Burkina Faso. This area has the specificity of harbouring two different forms of Anopheles gambiae. The first appears in May and June in the rice-fields. It shows no r...

Children Born After PGD as Healthy as Kids Born After ART

...esting of the embryos. Only unaffected embryos are subsequently transferred to the womb. "Because embryos are biopsied in PGD procedures, and this constitutes an additional manipulation of a delicate organism, we set out to study whether this had any effect on the health of children who were born as a result of...

Phase II Data Show Efficacy and Tolerability of Tapentadol in Chronic Pain Treatment

... this study underwent a titration period, and were subsequently treated with a fixed dose of either tapentadol ER 100 mg, 200 mg, oxycodone HCl CR 20 mg, or placebo, all bid (twice daily). Patients who received tapentadol ER 200 mg bid experienced a significant improvement in pain intensity compared to patient...

Scientists Saying Against Trees Sparks Debate

... with a heavy carbon isotope, 13C. If the plants subsequently emitted methane (13CH4), it would be easy to spot above the background of light (12CH4) methane in the air. Photo-acoustic spectroscopy (a laser-based measuring technique) was used to detect the gas. Dueck said it showed that even a large mass of p...
