What is CAR T-Cell Therapy? A patient's own T cells are engineered to find and attack cancer in a revolutionary new treatment called CAR T-cell therapy. With this therapy, specialized T cells from a patient's blood are removed and modified in the lab. Scientists genetically modify these T cells, called chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, to include a special receptor called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). This receptor recognizes and targets specific proteins on the surface of certain cancer cells. Once infused back into the patient, these CAR T cells can multiply in number and act as a "living drug" by finding and destroying cancer cells that have the matching target protein. How Do CAR T Cells Work? CAR T cells are a type of immunotherapy that involves taking T cells from a patient's blood and genetically modifying them to help the immune system more effectively detect and eliminate cancer cells. The T cells are collected from the patient through an a...

What is Nisin? Nisaplin is a polycyclic antibacterial peptide produced by the bacterium Lactococcus lactis. It has been used as a food preservative for over 50 years due to its potent bactericidal activity against various Gram-positive bacteria including Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. History and Discovery The first recorded use of Nisaplin dates back to the 1920s when it was discovered that a substance produced by certain lactic acid bacteria in milk inhibited the growth of other unwanted bacteria. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, extensive research was conducted which led to the discovery that this antimicrobial substance was a peptide that was given the name Nisaplin. Nisaplin was approved for use as a food preservative in the European Union in 1953 and has the E number E234. Nisin Mechanism of Action Nisin works by inserting itself into the cytoplasmic membrane of Gram-positive bacteria and forming complexes with lipid II, an essential cell wall precur...

An aging population coupled with growing rates of obesity and associated chronic health conditions like cancer, heart disease and diabetes are driving increased demand for diagnostic imaging procedures. New applications are also expanding the clinical role of imaging in areas like image-guided interventions, radiation oncology and molecular imaging. Technological improvements allowing higher resolution scans in less time are making some procedures more accessible as well. This is helping to offset pressures from pricing and utilization management initiatives by payers. U.S. Imaging Services Market Advanced Visu...

What is Total Organic Carbon Testing? Total organic carbon (TOC) testing measures the amount of organic carbon present in water or wastewater. Organic carbon generally refers to carbon compounds produced by living organisms like plant and animal matter. TOC testing provides a non-specific measurement of the overall level of organic compounds in water, rather than identifying any specific compound. Why is TOC Testing Important? High levels of organic carbon in drinking water sources can signal contamination from wastewater, agriculture, or industrial activities. Organic matter consumes oxygen as it breaks down, which can deplete dissolved oxygen levels needed to support aquatic life. Some organic compounds may also react with disinfectants like chlorine during water treatment, interfering with disinfection or producing disinfection byproducts. Maintaining low TOC levels is important for effective water treatment and meeting drinking water standards. TOC is also an important param...
