Experience matters in pipetting
The researchers call for ongoing training and performance assessment for all laboratory staff, because even experienced personnel involved in the study occasionally failed to meet International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards.
Study links fathers’ preconception stress to altered offspring development
Research from the University of Colorado Anschutz suggests that stress experienced by a father before conception may influence an offspring's growth by altering small molecular signals in sperm.
New Kind of CRISPR Could Treat Viral Infection and Cancer by Shredding Sick Cells’ DNA
When activated by its target, the newly characterized molecule rips the genome apart, a lethal move that researchers can program to destroy harmful cells while leaving healthy ones untouched.
Machine learning model filters out the biological noise in liquid biopsy samples
A machine learning model developed by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center filters out the biological noise in liquid biopsy samples, helping clinicians better match therapies to their patients' tumors.
When minutes matter: The laboratory’s role in rapid hemostasis assessment
Hemorrhage remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in trauma and critical illness, underscoring the need for immediate laboratory guidance for intervention.
BGSU researcher contributes to newly published global roadmap for combatting toxic algal blooms | Newswise
Bowling Green State University research and faculty expertise are helping to shape a five-year global strategy to understand and prevent toxic cyanobacteria
How can you tell whether your dog is right-pawed or left-pawed?
Science chats with researchers about a new method of assessing canine “handedness” and what it reveals about your pup’s health and personality
Proactive brain training strengthens mental wellness before challenges arise
A new study recently published in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Psychology challenges the traditional, reactive model of mental health care by demonstrating that proactive brain training can strengthen the human mind before mental health challenges take root.
Standardization Challenges in Glycated Albumin Measurement: Methodological Heterogeneity and Quantification Discrepancies
Glycated albumin (GA) is a valuable biomarker for monitoring glycemic status. However, measurement standardization is challenged by methodological heterogeneity, where different analytical principles and target measurands cause quantification discrepancies. This study systematically compared prevailing methodologies to identify a robust reference measurement procedure for widespread standardization.
A 5.3-million-year-old deep-sea whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone
These findings reshape the understanding of the limits and biogeography of whale-fall ecosystems and establish some deep sea floors as a fossil archive for tracing cetacean evolution over geological time.
