*Centrifuge for blood samples* Centrifuges are used in clinical applications including the separation of blood samples - a process where the different components of blood are distinguished from one another by weight, size, and density through rotational forces. Clinical centrifuges come in types according to their application. For instance, a...

Mixers are one of the most utilized instruments in many lab applications. Mixers come in shakers, rockers, rotators, and others that have varying configurations (capacity, speed, duration, slope, and more) and are used according to specific applications. Mixers are highly useful for basic experimentation, particularly in sample preparation. The diversity...

Stem cell transplantation is a therapeutic approach that has shown promise in addressing cartilage inflammation and damage as well as promoting cartilage regeneration. But, major limitations such as the rapid disappearance of transplanted stem cells from the cartilage resulted in lesser effective treatment outcomes. Pohang University of Science & Technology...

Researchers from the University of London and UCLH conducted a world-first trial of a new genetic therapy that is able to safely and efficiently decrease levels of harmful tau protein known to cause Alzheimer’s disease. This gene silencing approach uses BIIB080 (/IONIS-MAPTRx), a drug classified as an antisense oligonucleaotide which...

In various lab works and industries, risks are involved when working with hazardous chemicals. However, it can be mitigated by having knowledge on the potential risks of having these chemicals inside the lab. A lab personnel might encounter these chemicals including but not limited to: carcinogens, acids, toxins, irritants, corrosives,...

A multidisciplinary science team representing 11 institutions from the United States, Canada, and France used advanced ocean technologies to make the discovery.
