University of Manchester makes made-to-measure skin and bones a reality using inkjet printers
Made-to-measure skin and bones, which couldbe used to treat burn victims or patients who have suffered severedisfigurements, may soon be a reality using inkjets which can printhuman cells.Scientists at The University of Manchester have developed thebreakthrough technology which will allow tailor-made tissues and bonesto be grown, simply by inputting their dimensions into a computer....Travelers can avoid jet lag by resetting their body clocks
A simple, at-home treatment -- a single light box and the over-the-counter drug melatonin -- allows travelers to avoid jet lag by resetting their circadian body clock before crossing several time zones, according to new research being published in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. This treatment can also help those with delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS),...Muscle and bone from an ink-jet printer
A Pittsburgh-based research team has used an innovative inkjet system to print unique "bio-ink" patterns that directed adult muscle-derived stem cells from mice to differentiate into both muscle cells and bone cells. Bioengineers from Carnegie Me...Chronic jet-lag conditions hasten death in aged mice
Researchers have found that aged mice undergoing weekly light-cycle shifts--similar to those that humans experience with jet lag or rotating shift work--experienced significantly higher death rates than did old mice kept on a normal daylight schedule over the same eight-week period. The findings may not come as a great surprise to exhausted globe-trotting business travelers, but the research none...jetSI-ENDO-FluoR from Polyplus Transfection
Description:jetSI-ENDO-FluoR is a tetramethylrhodamine-conjugated jetSI-ENDO (excitation at 555 nm; emission at 580 nm), the powerful siRNA transfection reagent. These reagents are used to determine the transfection efficiency or investigate the intracellular delivery and trafficking of siRNAs. More than 95 % of the cell population is transfected....jetSI-ENDO from Polyplus Transfection
Description:jetSI-ENDO is an easy-to-use siRNA transfection reagent that has been shown to knock out endogenous genes in a variety of cell lines. jetSI-ENDO is serum compatible and comes with an optimized, straightforward protocol. High levels of gene silencing (up to 80%) are obtained following transfection of 20 to 100 nM of siRNA in a stably expressing reporter gene cell line, A549Luc....jetSI-ENDO-FluoF from Polyplus Transfection
Description:jetSI-ENDO-FluoF is a fluorescein-conjugated jetSI-ENDO (excitation at 490 nm; emission at 520 nm), the powerful siRNA transfection reagent. These reagents are used to determine the transfection efficiency or investigate the intracellular delivery and trafficking of siRNAs. More than 95 % of the cell population is transfected....jetSI conc. 10 mM from Polyplus Transfection
Description:This special concentrated jetSI 10 nM is available for delivery into mouse brain as described in: Z. Hassani, G.-F. Lemkine, P. Erbacher, G. Alfama, C. Giovannangeli, J.-P. Behr, and B.-A. Demeneix. Lipid-mediated siRNA delivery down regulates exogenous gene expression in the mouse brain at picomolar levels. J. Gene Med., 2005, 7, 198-207....Chemical Inkjet Printer from Shimadzu Biotech
Description:The ChIP (Chemical Inkjet Printer) is a revolutionary new approach to Peptide Mass Fingerprinting and Protein Macroarray Analysis, developed in conjunction with leading proteomics company, ProteomeSystems. The strategy compliments established protocols in resolving proteins by 2-D gels (using the proteins isoelectric point and apparent molecular weight). However, unlike classical approaches th...Counting Cytostar-T scintillating microplates on the MicroBeta JET

It is always a good idea to regularly floss your teeth or so your dentist tells you. But then the whole process is cumbersome and a larger percentage of the population does not indulge in flossing. Consequently, plaque // accumulates in between the teeth and this leads to gum problems including bleeding gums, receding gums and bad breath. New research presented today at the American D...HIV Infected Libyan Children, Jetted To France For Treatment
426 Libyan children who were infected with the AIDS virus are taken to France for treatment. A team of Five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor caused this tragedy, which shook the entire world. // They were found guilty of transfusing HIV contaminated blood to these children. The event occurred in Benghazi hospital, Libya. The Libyan Supreme Court fo...Plane Facts: Beneficial To Have Medics Full-Time In Super Jets
Rita Mody, who is a committee member of the Royal College of Nurses' In-flight Nurses Association, has provided a valuable insight during the upcoming production// of super jumbo jets. She said it was important to have a member of medical staff on every flight, to ensure immediate care to those who fall ill. The largest passenger plane in the world, the Airbus A380, is capable of car...Jets Can Now Be Propelled By Coal-based Fuel
A fuel derived from bituminous coal, which is comparable to Jet A or military JP 8, has been successfully tested in a helicopter jet engine and can now be used for propelling the jets in future, according to a Penn State fuel scientist. // "Because the fuel is 50 percent derived from coal, it could reduce our use of imported petroleum for this purpose by half," says Dr. Harold H. Scho...AUTION JET AJ-4270 Urine Chemistry Analyzer
Description:Designed as a high throughput primary or backup instrument, this semi-automated urine chemistry analyzer offers performance and reliability equal to or greater than many fully automated instruments. The advanced technology of the AUTION JET AJ-4270 and AUTION test strips delivers reproducible and accurate results, limiting interference from elevated protein, glucose, color, temperature and drugs....
