Using a new special type of ultrasound, Ultrafast Power Doppler Imaging, surgeons during brain vessel surgery were able to visualize capillaries, measure the amount of blood in the brain tissue, and show what happens during the procedure in real-time. nature.com/articles/s4159…

A team @binghamtonu found that older skin is more prone to wrinkles due to the skin stretching and contracting in either direction, causing it to buckle. As you age, your skin mechanical properties degrade and the skin stretches more. #Dermatology #Ageing binghamton.edu/news/story/568…

Researchers @HarvardChanSPH discovered that some mothers may be #biologically biased towards having children of one sex or another. They found this increases with age of the first pregnancy and how many children they have. #Genetics science.org/content/articl…

Our EpiMelt MLH1 Human Methylation Detection Assay was used in a study to determine if MS-HRM is a simple and sensitive real-time PCR method to detect MLH1 epimutation. #epigenetics #DNAMethylation See it here: bocascientific.com/products/epime… …lepigeneticsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

A small island in the Indian Ocean known as Réunion has experienced a shark crisis over the last several years. Researchers have flocked to the area to determine the cause of the fatal shark attacks, using modern technology and tracking mechanisms. science.org/content/articl…

A team led by @SusieHuangMDPhD developed a new high-resolution brain imaging system that can reconstruct microscopic brain structures that are disrupted in #neurological & #neuropsychiatric brain disorders. This powerful tool is an advancement of the MRI. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Physicists @LIGO have discovered the biggest merger of colliding black holes. This finding has implications for understanding how these holes grow in the Universe. #Astronomy nature.com/articles/d4158…

Our Epitogen IgG Lyme ELISA assay was leveraged exploring Borrelia surface proteins involved in tissue adhesion & #immune evasion as diagnostic biomarkers for Lyme Borreliosis, with high sensitivity. #LymeDisease See it: bocascientific.com/products/cell-… link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Our Buccalyse Rapid Buccal DNA Isolation Kit is ideal for extracting #DNA from buccal swabs. This fast and simple one step, one tube method provides PCR-ready DNA that does not require centrifugation. #PCR See this kit on our website: bocascientific.com/1044-bek-50-de…

In a new study, researchers discovered that after applying a thick gel oral vaccine, vampire bat's mutual licking helped spread the vaccine throughout the colony. This method could help prevent rabies outbreaks. science.org/content/articl…

Research suggests that engineered natural killer #cells, are able to destroy the renegade cells that produce #antibodies against the body’s own tissues. This method may allow for new #autoimmune disorder therapies. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Researchers identified early-pregnancy gut #microbiota signatures associated with gestational diabetes mellitus, a #metabolic disorder with maternal & fetal risks. Based on the findings, they developed an early diagnostic model for gestational diabetes. insideprecisionmedicine.com/topics/precisi…

Research in the @GreletLab @USAMCI discovered #cancer cells steal energy from #neurons in tumors, giving the cells a boost to survive and metastasize. #CancerResearch nature.com/articles/d4158…

In a study utilizing our TripleXtractor Direct RNA Kit, researchers identified Ae. albopictus as a model for in vivo studies on PM toxicity. Toxic effects of brake dust had #biological & #ecological relevance. The kit: bocascientific.com/products/gk23-… sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Research conducted at the University of Gothenburg finds newborn babies and patients with #AlzheimersDisease have elevated levels of the #protein p-tau217. This biomarker for Alzheimer's shows how natural protection works, and why we lose it as we age. academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

In a new study from @VollumInstitute, researchers found the structure & shape of key receptors connecting #neurons in the cerebellum. This could provide new therapies for repairing these structures when they are disrupted by injury or #genetic mutations. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our Miracle-AutoXT offers fast, efficient nucleic acid extraction, in as little as 20 minutes! This system functions by bead based-extraction and provides high yield, high purity DNA/RNA, with up to 32 samples processed simultaneously. #DNA #RNA See it: bocascientific.com/miracle-autoxt…

Researchers @UMmedschool have discovered that Sharks utilize their pancreas to make #antibodies and fine-tune white blood #cells against microbial threats. This discovery shows that #immune responses could be generated in a nonlymphoid organ. science.org/content/articl…
