Using laboratoryInformation Systems (LIMS) to support cell biology research and regulations

A purpose-built LIMS, which has the option to embed LES, ELN and other modules, leap-frogs the lengthy customization process and increases the success of laboratories.

			Researchers reverse stem cell aging process Increasing brain stiffness as we age leads to stem cell dysfunction, new research published in Nature has reported. The study shows how older stem cells can be reverted to a younger and healthier state, a novel discovery that has important implications for a number of degenerative diseases and our fundamental understanding of the aging process.

			Structure and Function of Proteoglycans Proteoglycans are ubiquitous molecules that function as critical components of the extracellular matrix. These proteins are composed of glycosaminoglycan chains that are covalently attached to a protein core. Even though just a handful of proteins have the propensity to become proteoglycans, their range of functions and potential roles in organism development is extremely broad.

	Researchers gain new insights into types of germ cell tumors Germ cell tumors constitute a diverse group of rare tumors, which occur in the testes, ovaries and also in other places. Some germ cell tumors exist prenatally, while others present during or after puberty. The majority is benign.

	New T cell detection method promises personalized immunotherapy for melanomas An important new study shows that better T cell detection is now possible using revolutionary technology. T cells are a type of lymphocyte, which in turn belongs to the diverse family of immune cells. They take part in cancer fighting as well as in most other immune responses.

	Biologists discover the intricacies of 'on/off switch' that creates cell differentiation A team of biologists has discovered how cells become different from each other during embryogenesis, a finding that offers new insights into genetic activity and has implications for better understanding the onset of disease and birth defects.
