As an expert in the field of AI-Powered drug discovery, personalized healthcare and various medical applications, the New York-based company AI & Medicine recently announces to release biomarker discovery and targeted proteomics services for researchers worldwide. This move is made to meet the increasing demand for new biomarkers in most areas of pathology, especially within the field of cancer diagnostics. Disease biomarker is a molecule that indicates changes in the physiology of a cell under diseased state and hence can be used as a tool for diagnosis of diseases. During the past decades, biomarker discovery has been mainly focused on the following two basic styles: hypothesis-based or discovery-based. While biomarker identification through hypothesis-based methods is essentially a by-product of the ever-increasing mechanistic understanding of disease processes, the discovery-based approaches focus on identifying changes in the presence or relative abundance of molecular

In recent years, AI has been gradually applied in the medical field, especially in the diagnosis of diseases such as lung cancer. AI helps to improve the early diagnosis accuracy rate of lung cancer. Lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the world, with morbidity and mortality ranking first in malignant tumors, and has become a recognized killer of human health. The prognosis of lung cancer is closely related to the clinical stage. Due to the late appearance of symptoms and signs, most patients have metastasized at the first visit to the hospital, and the 5-year survival rate is only 16% due to the missed optimal surgery time. Therefore, clinical staff are constantly looking for newer and more sensitive imaging techniques suitable for lung cancer screening. In August 2002, the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) led the launch of a randomized controlled clinical trial comparing lung cancer screening with low-dose spiral CT (LDCT) and ordinary chest X-rays,

PEG Linker Hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) or PEG-linkers are particularly attractive as a linker for conjugation. Water solubility, lack of toxicity; low immunogenicity and well defined chain lengths and molecular weights are specific characteristics of PEG moieties relevant to pharmaceutical applications. Hydrophilic linkers The link between the antibody and the cytotoxic agent plays a critical role in development of antibody-drug conjugates. The nature of the linker can significantly affect the potency, selectivity, and the pharmacokinetics of an antibody-drug conjugate. A common feature of numerous linkers used to prepare antibody-drug conjugates is their hydrophobicity – or their inability to dissolve in water.  In most cases, the average drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) or the number of drug molecules per antibody does not exceed 3-4 drug molecules per antibody molecule.  Many of the problems seen with hydrophobic linkers can be overcome by sulfonate- or PEG-containing hydrophilic

RNA used to be considered just a molecule that passed information between genes and proteins. In fact, at the beginning of life, RNA is the only living molecule, which can store information and also has the function of an enzyme. It took millions of years of evolution and evolution to produce DNA and protein molecules. In addition to acting as a messenger (mRNA) for protein synthesis, RNA also has a very important regulatory function, such as non-transcribed RNA includes miRNA, siRNA, lncRNA, piwiRNA, etc. Among them, there are more than 400 miRNA molecules alone, regulating at least one-third of human genes. Since the discovery of the DNA double helix structure, scientists began research on the realization of "programmed" pharmaceuticals based on the genetic information contained in nucleic acids and the base pairing law. The earliest beginning of RNA drug research includes antisense nucleic acid (ASO), small interfering nucleic acid (siRNA), aptamer, aptamer, snRNA,

Boronic Acids What`s the boronic acid? A boronic acid is a compound related to boric acid in which one of the three hydroxyl groups is replaced by an alkyl or aryl group. As a compound containing a carbon–boron bond, members of this class thus belong to the larger class of organoboranes. What`s the function about boronic acid? Boronic acids act as Lewis acids. Their unique feature is that they are capable of forming reversible covalent complexes with sugars, amino acids, hydroxamic acids, etc. (molecules with vicinal, (1,2) or occasionally (1,3) substituted Lewis base donors (alcohol, amine, carboxylate)). The boronic acid functional group is reputed to have low inherent toxicity. This is one of the reasons for the popularity of the Suzuki coupling in the development and synthesis of pharmaceutical agents. However, a significant fraction of commonly used boronic acids and their derivatives were recently found to gives a positive Ames test and act as chemical mutagens (The mechanism

The requirements in respect of cleanliness of laboratory environments have increased dramatically, particularly in the areas of industrial production, packaging and in analytical laboratories and research. A particulate-free, sterile environment is often crucial in such fields. For this reason, considerable amounts of money are often spent and enormous technical and building effort are invested in order to erect large clean rooms even though the cleanliness and purity required for the given application is only actually needed in certain areas of the laboratory. In particular, the requirements for cleanliness getting more important in analytical laboratories in particular, because the sensitivity of analytical instruments has undergone continuously significant improvement, so that it is no longer the analytical system alone that constrains the achievable detection limit, but also the purity of the chemicals and equipment used, such as pipettes and solvents.

B-403 ideal for short term identification Easily colour code items with a temporary label that fully dissolves in 30 seconds in warm water. The B-403 water dissolvable label is ideal for short term identification. The B-403 water dissolvable paper label is self-adhesive and extremely easy to apply. Exposing the label to warm water will completely dissolve it within 30 seconds, without damage to the surface it was applied to, and without leaving any residue. B-403 reduces the labour required to remove labels, reduces maintenance to filters and drains and enables easy re-identification of reusable items in a range of industries. The water dissolvable label adheres well to most surfaces, including glass, stainless steel, aluminium, plastic and others. This makes the label a great solution to enable short term identification for containers, crates and glassware with a minimum of waste.
