Credit: Elena Merkulova/Getty Images A new tool that could help detect ovarian cancer sooner has been developed and validated by researchers from Queen Mary University of London. Ovatools combines results from a standard blood test that measures cancer antigen 125 (CA125) with a woman’s age, to provide a personalized risk score for ovarian cancer. Danny McAuley, scientific director for the U.K.’s National Institute for Health and Care Research Programmes said, “This tool brings real power into the hands of GPs, giving them the ability to detect patients who are at a higher risk of ovarian cancer, and getting them the specialist…

From his spot in the long, orderly queue, Balch could just see the clinic’s large double doors. One intermittently swung open as nurses and national guardsmen ushered the next person inside. The queue then inched forwards like a great lazy caterpillar to fill the vacated space.Balch kneaded his pockets. His turn would be a while yet.Identical clinics had opened worldwide following the parasite’s discovery — a biological oddity colloquially dubbed ‘the Slug’, despite news broadcasts highlighting the microscopic creature’s dendritic shape. How they’d spotted the Slug, Balch couldn’t explain. But he understood why it mattered.Apparently, the Slug had been randomly…

Recent studies highlight a concerning rise in infant gut imbalance, marked by reduced microbial diversity, especially of beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium infantis, and increased gut inflammation.With infant gut health moving into the nutrition spotlight, Lallemand Health Solutions and dsm-firmenich say much remains to be discovered.

As therapeutic antibodies evolve, the industry is moving away from a one-size-fits-all chromatography approach. With an increasing share of non-traditional monoclonal antibodies (mAbs)—including fragments and multispecifics—entering clinical and commercial phases, manufacturers face new challenges in purification. “Today’s therapeutic-antibody landscape is diversifying,” said Niklas Jungnelius, process modeling leader at Cytiva, during his talk at the BioProcess International Conference in Boston. “These molecules often require other or additional affinities compared to what standard protein A resins can offer and therefore drive demand for a diverse mAb affinity-resin toolbox.” Even traditional mAbs may require adjustments depending on processing conditions, such as pH sensitivity. The shift…
