Screening for potential beta 2-adrenergic receptor antagonists using CypHer5E and IN Cell Analyzer 1000

5, a pH sensitive dye, has shown utility in β2-adrenergic receptor agonist screening (1). CypHer5 has been used to obtain dose-response and rank-order potency data for both agonist and antagonist treatment of β2-adrenergic receptor expressing cells (2). For live-cell receptor internalization studies,...

Medical simulations identify potential problems before they can pose a real threat

As the medical business struggles with the problems of clinical risks and litigation, one emerging method for dealing with potential problems is through the use of war-game exercises, in which scenarios that could last for several chaotic days in the real world can be simulated in the course of hours and allow for systemic problems to be identified and dealt with before they...

UW scientists study strange material with communications potential

Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are taking another look at some long-held ideas about physics. For one, the Doppler effect. That's what scientists call the way sounds change as you speed toward and away from them. On a highway, for example, a jackhammer or a siren will sound higher pitched as you approach and lower after you drive past. But there's an invers...
