There is also so many things to procure, invent and put together. Then there is functionality and operations and logistics. Not easy. One way…
It is surprising how much chemistry goes into understanding basic biology. Considering a simple cup of tea. There have been many studies showing the important bioactive compounds in tea. Catechins are polyphenols that got significant attention for their anti-oxidant activities. Then there is caffeine. But another component L-theanine has not been discussed much. L-theanine is…
One of the oldest entrants in the integration, visualization and analysis of data from various sources (genotype, phenotype etc.,) is Mix-omics. http://mixomics.org/ The project started in 2009 and has been a continuously developed framework for multiple data sources. The graphic shows the multivariate methods available today for users. There is also sample data sets available…
A university in Netherlands, Eindhoven institute of technology discovered a protein that is a variety of luciferase that generates light based on the concentration of the analyte. They also modified it so that another protein that is integrated to the same protein converts the light that is emitted to another color based on the binding…
Bioimpedance is the resistance of any biological tissue between two defined points. Usually the two points may be the two extremities – for example the hand and the foot. This has been measured for many years and a single value of resistance called bioimpedance has been used in many areas to estimate percentage of fat,…
Brain to brain communications or brain to computer communications are tough to execute. However, one consortium of scientists at Braingate have achieved the communication between two people that are connected with a sensor implanted in their motor cortex. The unique part about this communication was that it was implemented through methods more often used in…
Blood collection for Biomarker and assays from humans has been done since many decades and the usual method has been the syringe for large volumes and a needle prick for smaller volumes. Very rarely has there been any major changes in this area. However one company is hoping to change that…They have a small device…
Human PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scanning is used frequently to determine the metabolism of glucose in the body which help find cancer and also for finding specific molecules using specific PET probes. However, PET scanners are expensive to operate, expose the body to radiation and also require long amounts of time for the patient in…
