Chaperones keep the tumor suppressor protein p53 in check. The anti-tumor protein p53 can decide on the life or death of a cell: If it detects damage in the cell's genome, the protein pushes the cell to suicide. New research conducted at Technical University of Munich (TUM) shows that this inborn cancer prevention only works when special proteins, known as chaperones, allow it to take place....

Miele’s latest range of laboratory washer accessories make loading times shorter, helping to save valuable research time. The EasyLoad collection, for Miele’s under-bench PG model washers, also has the added benefits of being flexible and robust. Water is pushed out through the sides of the injector tip, as well as vertically, so items are cleaned effectively even if glassware is resting on the top of the injector. This saves loading time and makes it much simpler to train staff on operation....
Extending the Service Life of HPLC System by Filter Processing. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is an analysis method originated from classical liquid chromatography.
