Beer drinkers know that hops are what gives the drink its bitterness and aroma. Recently, scientists reported that the part of hops that isn’t used for making beer contains healthful antioxidants and could be used to battle cavities and gum disease

Animals’ acute sense of smell has inspired a new way to monitor diseases

The Clinical Laboratory Management Association's premier educational event, KnowledgeLab 2014, May 4-7 in Las Vegas, provides a forum for laboratory leaders from all over the world to connect with their peers, grow their knowledge and lead the charge to address key challenges in the laboratory.

Canada’s largest integrated brain centre officially opened Feb. 27, uniting research and patient care to change the way brain disorders are treated and studied.

The Ross Hall labs were constructed with a $15 million grant.

From the sun, a solution: Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medical College researchers have remodeled an energy-intensive medical test – designed to detect a deadly skin cancer related to HIV infections – to create a quick diagnostic assay perfect for remote regions of the world, according to Scientific Reports (Feb. 20), an online publication of Nature.

If a driver is traveling to New York City, I-95 might be their route of choice. But they could also take I-78, I-87 or any number of alternate routes. Most cancers begin similarly, with many possible routes to the same disease. A new study found evidence that assessing the route to cancer on a case-by-case basis might make more sense than basing a patient’s cancer treatment on commonly disrupted genes and pathways.

Clemson University researchers have developed nanoparticles that can deliver drugs targeting damaged arteries, a non-invasive method to fight heart disease.

An innovative vaccine technology makes use of reengineered salmonella to deliver protective immunity. If such recombinant attenuated salmonella vaccines, or RASVs, can be perfected, they hold the promise of safe, low-cost, orally-administered defenses against viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections.

A recent study suggests that self-reported memory complaints might predict clinical memory impairment later in life.

Researchers are using fibres from fishing line and sewing thread to create inexpensive artificial muscles that could be used in medical devices, humanoid robots, prosthetic limbs, or woven into fabrics.

The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has released a new quality management systems standard on laboratory internal audit programs. A laboratory audit program is critical to ensuring laboratories meet applicable requirements for quality system essentials assessments.
