Preserving Platelet Function In Cryopreserved Blood Samples

Platelet concentrate forms an important part of cancer treatment, particularly after chemotherapy. It is therefore essential that the integrity and function of cryopreserved platelets are maintained when storing and thawing the blood sample.

			Single-Cell Genomics Single-cell genomics is an advanced method of classifying individual cells that can define unique traits and identify rare cell types.

			Bioinformatics in Research Bioinformatics is the application of information techniques for the storage, retrieval, and analysis of large quantities of biological data.

	Tunable Resistive Pulse Sensing Applications Tunable resistive pulse sensing is used in single particle analysis to provide quantitative measurements that can be used in biology and nanotechnology.

	Harnessing Pediatric Cancer Genomic Data in the Cloud Dr. Jinghui Zhang, an esteemed computational biologist at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital discusses her latest study and how technology such as cloud computing is changing the way that scientists carry out research.

	Researchers discover new approach for treatment of myotonic dystrophy Researchers at the Translational Genomics laboratory of Valencia University and the INCLIVA health research institute have just discovered a new approach for the treatment of myotonic dystrophy, a rare and incurable neuromuscular disease which does not have specific treatment.

	Metabolomics in Pharmacology Metabolomics is the holistic study of metabolism. The application of metabolomics in pharmacology gives rise to a new field called “pharmacometabolomics.” The basic tenet of pharmacometabolomics is to determine the effects of drug treatment on the body’s metabolic scenario. It is also used to identify specific metabolic pathways that are responsible for drug-mediated outcomes.

	Rapid Quantification and Normalization of DNA for UV Measurement The quantification and normalization of DNA are essential steps after nucleic acid purification, in the majority of genomics processes.
