As evidence implicating stem cells in cancer mounts, drug makers are taking notice. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in December formed a strategic alliance worth up to $1.4 billion
with OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, of Redwood City, California. The deal
gives GSK an option to license four of OncoMed's antibody candidates
developed to target cancer stem cells, one of which is scheduled to
enter clinical trials in June.

Chemical composition of spores doesn't match suspect flask.
The deadly bacterial spores mailed to victims in the US anthrax attacks, scientists say, share a chemical 'fingerprint' that is not found in
bacteria from the flask linked to Bruce Ivins, the biodefence
researcher implicated in the crime.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) alleges that Ivins, who committed suicide last July, was the person responsible for…

Scientists from University of Bonn in Germany have designed a technique that allows them to repair damaged arteries’ tissue. The technique is based on
sending genes and healthy cells through the bloodstream to the place
that needs to be repaired.
Earlier, the “problem” was that it was unknown what quantity of healthy cells to send in order to repair the tissue. Small…

Nanomedicine is a subfield of nanotechnology. It is often defined as the repair, construction and control of human biological systems using devices
built upon nanotechnology standards. Basically, nanomedicine is the
medical application of nanotechnology. Nanostructured materials,
engineered enzymes and many other products of biotechnology will be
very useful in the future. Of course, the full potential…

Master Bond EP65HT-1 combines high temperature
resistance and fast room temperature curing in a NASA low outgassing
approved epoxy. It also offers superior electrical insulation
capabilities and strong chemical resistance.
With an extremely
high glass transition temperature exceeding 125ºC, EP65HT-1 features
fast cure times, even when mixed in small masses. For example, a 10-20
gram mass will cure in 3-5 minutes at room temperature. It… Continue
