NGAL Test - Early Diagnosis of Acute Kidney Injury Dedicated Website From Alpha Laboratories Provides a Valuable Information Resource
NGALTest.co.uk is a website that is dedicated to raising awareness amongst Clinicians and Laboratories about the value of early diagnosis of AKI by analysing the novel biomarker, Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin rather than the traditional, nonspecific Creatinine. Clinical and research products are both detailed on the website.Acute kidney injury is no longer considered to be an innocent bystander merely reflecting co-existent pathologies. It has been demonstrated to be an independent risk factor for mortality. The cause of this is unclear but is possibly associated with an increased risk of “non-renal” complications such as bleeding and sepsis...

At Field Based Chemistry Europe, Dr Tim Cheeseright presented a pre-release of Cresset’s new Activity Miner module. The groundbreaking new science in Activity Miner helps researchers optimize their leads by identifying the key 3D structural and electrostatic changes that impact molecular activity.
Activity Miner explores the structure activity landscape of a set of molecules. For each pair of molecules, the difference between them in electrostatics, shape and structure is compared to the difference in activity. A small change in structure or electrostatics that results in a large change in activity is known as an activity cliff. Conversely, large structural changes resulting in little or no change in activity indicate bioisosteres. In each case, the comparison indicates an area of interest that merits further research...
