This Application Note describes how the Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer canbe used to analyze apoptotic cell samples. Performance of two assaysfor apoptosis detection is demonstrated and the data are compared tothose obtained with a conventional flow cytometer. Histogram quality...Measuring multiple apoptosis parameters with the Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer
A simplified and fast protocol for the analysis of DNAfragmentation during apoptosis This Application Note describes a simplified and fast protocol for apoptosisDNA fragmentation analysis with the Agilent 2100 bioanalyzerusing the DNA...Staying agile reduces hip fracture risk
Women who engage in substantial leisure time activity, including walking, are less likely to sustain a hip fracture. A new report from the long-running Nurses' Health Study, covering over 57,000 postmenopausal women in the US,// shows that keeping active keeps the bones strong. Each weekly increase of three hours activity(known as metabolic equivalent task or MET) was linked to a six per cent dec...Babies Brains Are more Fragile
An American study that says babies are more vulnerable to serious brain injuries when they fall than previously believed may help child abuse investigators distinguish between accidental and intentional injury.// The University of Pennsylvania study found that rotational forces generated by a baby's head hitting a hard surface can cause widespread, potentially serious brain injuries. T...Fragile X-Associated Tremor /Ataxia Syndrome Need Guidelines For Diagnostic Tests
Fragile X-associated tremor /ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) needs guidelines to have diagnostic// tests designed for early detection, as it is difficult to diagnose. According to a study published in the July 26 issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology, diagnosis of the disease early is required as the disease is often confused with other similar disor...Discovery of Agile Molecular Motors Could Aid in Treating Motor Neuron Diseases
Over the last several months, the labs of Yale Goldman, MD, PhD, Director of the Pennsylvania Muscle Institute at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine,// and Erika Holzbaur, PhD, Professor of Physiology, have published a group of papers that, taken together, show proteins that function as molecular motors are surprisingly flexible and agile, able to navigate obstacles within the cell...New Findings in Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein
Researchers in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at Yale School of Medicine have done crucial progress in understanding Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), laying the groundwork for possible new treatments for Fragile X syndrome(FXS). Fragile X syndrome, the leading inherited form of mental retardation is mainly caused by a mutation in the F...AgileTrac Bed and Room Manager
Description:Agility can facilitate bed and room management through business process optimization using RFID technology. Bed and room management may be integrated with other AgileTrac products....Fragile X, Down Syndromes Linked to Faulty Brain Communication, Stanford Researcher Finds
STANFORD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 10, 2007 - The two mostprevalent forms of genetic mental retardation, Fragile X and Downsyndromes, may share a common cause, according to researchers atStanford University School of Medicine. The problem, a crippledcommunication network in the brain, may also be associated withautism. Although the genetics of the disorders are very different, theend...
