Features

CalTech Researchers Develop Optofluidic Microscope to Enable Microfluidic Imaging
The system can give a small group of scientists hundreds or even thousands of microscopes with which to image many cells or organisms in parallel, and could allow them to perform microfluidic imaging of a variety of organisms and cell types, without the need for a unwieldy, conventional microscope.

Humanetics Taps EpiStem to Test Rxs to Protect GI Tract from Bioterror Radiation
Backed by a US Department of Defense award to Humanetics, EpiStem will use its screening technology to study 10 potential drug candidates that the US military could use prophylactically in events such as a nuclear or dirty-bomb attack, or other cases of radiation exposure.

Phenotype

NCI Assay Screens BRCA2 Mutations in Mouse ESCs
This new assay expands on the ability of segregation analysis to analyze mutations in the BRCA2 gene by examining the effect that they have on mouse embryonic stem cells.
