Natural sciences are concerned with the description, understanding and prediction of natural phenomena which are based on emperical evidence. Branches of natural sciences include physical sciences (chemistry, physics, astronomy) and life sciences (biology, zoology).
Family history can be viewed as the first stop in the assessment of genetic risks for any individual. For many genetic disorders there will be no obvious signs of symptoms until significant m...
Traditional models of basal ganglia disorders are grounded in the assumption that network dysfunction is driven by alterations in intrinsic excitability of striatal neurons. Recent work has c...
A century and a half after we first probed heritability, we risk forgetting one of Mendel's own basic findings, in rushing to broaden clinical genomics to lifelong care for all. Embracing...
The advent of the microarray technology in 2000 has paved the way for advanced translational research methods that use molecular markers such as microRNA, proteins, metabolites and copy numbe...
Cell death is involved in diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration, and also has a natural role in the development of multicellular organisms. Although apoptosis has been well defined, a...
A crucial part of providing animals for research is successful breeding. Still, in many mouse facilities breeding efficiency is complicated by problems with reproduction, such as pre-weaning...
The environment has been found to be a major contributor to data variability and many aspects of the laboratory environment are stressful to rodents and do not accurately reflect the human ex...
Animal studies still play a crucial role in research aimed at improving human health care. When performing animal studies, the results and their interpretation are not always straightforward....
Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC) are lymphocytes that share the same morphological features of classical lymphocytes. They lack specific antigen receptors (Spits and Cupedo Annu Rev Immunol 2012)....

T-cells form an integral part of the human immune system by fighting off infection and eliminating transformed cells. Over the last deca...
The management of prostate cancer (PCa) continues to evolve and does so at a rapid rate. Research and technological developments continue to refine our definitions and management of this comp...
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small, naturally-occurring non-coding ribonucleic acids with sizes between 18 and 40 nucleotides (nts) that have been demonstrated to play a significant role in the re...
Synthetic biology—the design and construction of new biological parts, devices, and systems, and the redesign of natural biological systems for useful purposes—is contributing sus...
In this interactive session, Derek Lowe will be taking questions from the audience in an informal discussion on his work in drug discovery, and his take on the current pharma landscape. Moder...
Natural preservation is often cited as effective and “safe” alternative to traditional synthetic preservative systems. However, the so-called natural preservatives bring a number...
The human race, like all macrobiological life, evolved in a sea of microbes. There was no way to keep the bacterial and archaeal hoards at bay, so instead life evolved mechanisms to live with...
Errors in healthcare can have catastrophic results for patients. Work settings with a strong interdisciplinary teamwork culture can decrease the opportunities for errors to occur. Teamwork co...
Every cell in the body can release several types of extracellular vesicles (EVs), often called ”exosomes” or ”microvesicles”. These vesicles carry a wide array of mole...
Soiled-bedding sentinels are not always efficient in detecting pathogens in rodent colonies. In this context, PCR-based testing can be more sensitive and is being advocated as adjunct to trad...
The effective implementation of personalised cancer therapeutic regimens depends on the successful identification and translation of informative biomarkers to aid clinical decision-making. An...
Equine anti-doping analysis is a changing and dynamic field of science. The constant introduction of new drugs and biopharmaceuticals present challenges to the integrity of sports. Anti-dopi...
Macrocycles offer a new structural class that has the potential to address challenging protein-protein interaction targets and still present attractive drug-like properties including cell mem...
Medical applications of genetics and genomics have been advancing dramatically since completion of the sequencing of the human genome. The cost of DNA sequencing has plummeted, leading to the...
