Following the launch of its limited edition PIPETGIRL pink pipette controller in support of breast cancer research earlier this year - INTEGRA is pleased to announce it has made a $10,000 contribution to the Susan F. Smith Center for Women’s Cancers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston (MA, USA).

The Salk Institute and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute created a compound that stops a cellular recycling process.

The vast majority of the thousands of chemicals in our homes and workplaces have not been tested to determine if they cause cancer. That’s because today’s options are lacking. Rodent tests are too slow, and cell culture tests don’t replicate how cells interact in the body, so their relevance to cancer is limited. Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have set out to change that.

Researchers at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute of Virginia Tech have discovered new possibilities for detecting ovarian cancer using microsatellite variations.
