Nonlinear Dynamics announces more details of its global partnership with PerkinElmer
Nonlinear Dynamics Ltd, a leading provider of bioinformatics solutions, today announced further details of its global OEM partnership with PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE: PKI), a leading provider of drug discovery, life science research and analytical solutions. As detailed in a press release issued last week, PerkinElmer will distribute Nonlinear's full range of 1D, 2D and array software. Howeve...High resolution 'snapshots' detail dynamics of a cocaine antibody
Cocaine-binding antibodies have shown some promise in their ability to neutralize cocaine toxicity, but their binding ability is severely impaired by high concentrations of the drug. A catalytic monoclonal antibody such as 7A1, on the other hand, has the ability to regenerate after each new dose of the drug, making it far more effective than others in metabolizing cocaine. The study, which...Recombination protein dynamics observed with single monomer resolution
Using a sensitive, single-molecule measurement technique, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have observed the life cycle of RecA, a protein that plays a major role in repairing damaged DNA. RecA is a DN...UCLA study of community health project shows how group dynamics affect fitness, eating habits
Imagine break-room vending machines featuring fruit juice and vegetables instead of cookies and soda pop. Consider colleagues who insist on mid-morning group exercise breaks and applaud a lunchtime workout rather than criticizing the cut of the sweat suit. Ponder an organizational culture that encourages walking the stairs instead of riding the elevator. A UCLA-evaluated study of a demons...Scripps research study reveals structural dynamics of single prion molecules
The new findings, which are being published the week of February 12 in an online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, offer significant insights into normal folding mechanisms as well as those that lead to abnormal amyloid fibril conversion. The new insights may lead to the discovery of novel therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative diseases. Intriguingly, certa...Dynamics of Wisconsins Real-Time Economy Part 3
This week a leading information technology publication named four traditional Wisconsin companies as the best places in America to work in IT. All four placed in the top 50 out of 100. Harley-Davison was ranked number 2, higher than MasterCard, Wal-Mart, Ford, and UPS. American Family Insurance was ranked 22, Lands End 34, and TDS was ranked 40. What do all of these companies have in common? They...Cellular Dynamics getting $2 million in Wisconsin financing
The company, (CDI), will receive a $1 million technology development grant and a $1 million technology development loan through the state Depa...Cellular Dynamics hits market with UW research heavyweights
Three noted UW-Madison biotech researchers, including stem-cell pioneer James Thomson, have begun construction on a laboratory to house a new drug screening company in Madison's In partnership with Tactics II Ventures LP, a venture capital firm that specializes in early-stage life science companies, UW researc...ESRC offers new dynamics for old in UK
By 2025, the number of people in Britain over the age of 60 will outnumber those under 25. Pressure on both pensions and pensioner spending power will increase. Answers to problems//, old and new, will have to be sought. In a move to address the issues of ageing - one of the most significant aspects of change in our lives, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) is highlighting...Predicting the Dynamics of Clotting in Human Blood
University of Chicago chemists have demonstrated for the first time how to use a simple laboratory model consisting of only a few chemical reactions to predict when and where blood clotting will occur.// The scientists used microfluidics, a technique that allows them to probe blood clotting on surfaces that mimic vascular damage on the micron scale, a unit of measurement much narrower than the di...OM-5 Lite Urodynamics System with EMG
Description:Advanced diagnostic capabilities combined with ease of use make the OM-5 Series the best product in its class. Ideal for office or hospital-based urodynamics, the OM-5 is a complete system for Uroflowmetry, cystometry, leak point pressure, or urethral pressure profiles. Eight (8) configurations are available which make the OM-5 flexible enough to meet the needs of all clinicians. This version of...OM-5 Lite Urodynamics System with CO2
