Alzheimer’s Disease Study Suggests Viral Beginnings
More than a century after its discovery, no effective prevention or treatment exists for this progressive deterioration of brain tissue, memory and identity. With more people living to older ages, there is a growing need to clarify Alzheimer’s disease risk factors and disease mechanisms and use this information to find new ways in which to treat and prevent this terrible disorder.
Computer diagnoses Parkinson’s with behavioral tracking
Thousands of people do not know they have Parkinson’s disease. Eric Horvitz wants them to be able to find out — before the incurable neurodegenerative disorder progresses to its later stages. In his perfect world, they wouldn’t have to interrupt their daily routines. They could stay in their homes and offices, working on their computers, and their online activity would eventually trigger a message: A visit to the doctor is in order.
The beating brain: A video captures the organ’s rhythmic pulsations
A study recently published in the journal Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and co-authored by Stanford life-science research assistant Itamar Terem, then-postdoc Samantha Jane Holdsworth, PhD, (now at the University of Auckland) and several other Stanford colleagues describes a new imaging method that, by means of a kind of strobe-action amplification technique, is able to visually blow up the minute heartbeat-induced pulsations of the brain to produce mind-boggling video sequences such as the one you’ve hopefully taken a peek at here.
Nanoscale Kirigami Technique Could Enable Microchip-Based 3-D Optical Devices
Nanoscale Kirigami has taken off as a field of research in the last few years; the approach is based on the ancient arts of origami (making 3-D shapes by folding paper) and kirigami (which allows cutting as well as folding) but applied to flat materials at the nanoscale, measured in billionths of a meter.
ISO Class 4 Microelectronics Cleanroom Completed for NexLogic Technologies, Inc.
NexLogic Technologies, Inc. has announced the completion of its International Standards Organization (ISO) 14644-1 Class 4/10,000 and the equivalent Federal Standard 209E (FS209E) Class 10 clean room as an integral part of its new microelectronics services and manufacturing capability.
Decernis Acquires Food Fraud Database from USP
The Food Fraud Database, launched by USP in 2012, helps food manufacturers, retailers, and other stakeholders make informed decisions about the vulnerability of their food ingredients to economically motivated adulteration. This supports compliance with FSMA and GFSI requirements by providing information on the pattern and history of food fraud and the identification of potentially hazardous adulterants.
Neovii & Mundipharma Agreement for Solid Organ & Stem Cell Transplant
Neovii pharmaceuticals AG of Rapperswil, Switzerland and Mundipharma have entered into an agreement giving Mundipharma the rights to develop and distribute its polyclonal antibody immunosuppressant Grafalon®, in China and Japan from end October.
ACROMEC Healthcare Pharma Cleanroom Contract Worth $6.2M
ACROMEC Limited (“ACROMEC”, SGX:43F), an established specialist engineering service provider in the field of controlled environments serving mainly the healthcare, biomedical, research and academia sectors, has secured three new contracts totaling approximately S6.2 million.
Dynacure secures €47 million financing to advance lead program into clinical development
Dynacure, a biotechnology company developing new treatments for patients affected by serious orphan disorders, announced today the completion of a €47 million financing round (~US$55 million) to advance its lead program into clinical development. Andera Partners (formerly Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners) led the financing round, joined by Pontifax, Bpifrance, Kurma Partners and IdInvest Partners.
Indium Oxide Nanocrystals Comprise New UV Narrow-Band Photodetector
Semiconductor quantum dots (nanocrystals just a few nanometers in size) have attracted researchers’ attention due to the size dependent effects that determine their novel electrical and optical properties. By changing the size of such objects, it is possible to adjust the wavelength of the emission they absorb, thus implementing selective photodetectors, including those for UV radiation.
Antimicrobial Peptide Production Induced by Nanofiber-Based Wound Dressings
Nanofiber-based wound dressings loaded with vitamin D spur the production of an antimicrobial peptide, a key step forward in the battle against surgical site infections, or SSIs. The findings by Oregon State University researchers and other collaborators, published Wednesday in Nanomedicine, are important because SSIs are the most common healthcare-associated infection and result in widespread human suffering and economic loss.
Porous Materials Shed Light on Environmental Purification
porous materials such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks have drawn the attention of the scientific community due to the wide range of applications derived from their porosity. Recently, a new class of all organic materials has emerged – the hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs).
