Spectrum now offers Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) originating from abattoirs located in the US, Mexico, Canada, and Australia. In addition to untreated premium FBS, secondary treatments such as heat inactivation, dialysis, or gamma irradiation are available as standard catalog items. Spectrum also announced the availability of specialty pre-screened FBS for embryonic stem cell research. Each FBS order includes a full biochemical and chemical profile, as well as certification of the country of origin. (PRWeb Jul 24, 2009)

The “sloppier copier” is also the best sixth man in the DNA repair game, a new article shows.

A novel drug that targets a master disease-causing gene can dramatically reduce heart muscle damage after a heart attack and may lead to significantly improved patient outcomes, researchers have shown.

(University of New South Wales) A novel drug that targets a master disease-causing gene can dramatically reduce heart muscle damage after a heart attack and may lead to significantly improved patient outcomes, researchers at the University of New South Wales have shown.

(University of Nevada, Reno) Biochemist John Cushman is investigating how plants thrive in warmer, drier climates, which may become more widespread in the future due to global warming. The University of Nevada, Reno, researcher and faculty member has received a nearly $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to continue studying the molecular genetic and biochemical pathways in the common ice plant, which improves water use efficiency up to 10 times of normal.

(International Rice Research Institute) By looking at what different types of rice have in common, a team of international scientists are unlocking rice’s genetic diversity to help conserve it and find valuable rice genes to help improve rice production.

Researchers have discovered how hormone-dependent prostate cancer advances to the incurable hormone-independent disease state. The study shows that in androgen-independent prostate cancer, androgen receptors are reprogrammed to regulate genes involved in a later phase of cell division. A small epigenetic change in a gene called UBE2C is responsible for this reprogramming. Increased expression of that gene correlated with progression to the hormone-independent phase.

Researchers appear to have a new way to fix a broken heart. They have devised a method to coax heart muscle cells into reentering the cell cycle, allowing the differentiated adult cells to divide and regenerate healthy heart tissue after a heart attack, according to studies in mice and rats.
