Research provides new aid in the study of diabetes

11 December 2013

14 September 2009 Inability to generate NOD ES cells capable of robust chimerism and germline transmission has been a longtime frustration to researchers using this key model. Definition of the ground-state culture requirements for sustaining ES cell pluripotency has enabled generation of ES cell lines from mouse strains...

Research reveals new information about antibiotic resistance in bacteria

11 December 2013

18 May 2009 Scientists at the University of Cambridge have uncovered the final piece in the jigsaw revealing the structure of ‘efflux pumps’ which allow Salmonella and other disease-causing bacteria to develop resistance to antibiotics and other drugs. The research, supported by the Wellcome Trust, allows greater...
