The small animal imaging or in vivo preclinical imaging market began to come into existence from the early 1990s when scientists studying biology and disease processes realized that clinical image could help them reduce the cost of research and time span of their animal studies. At present, medical imaging is an important tool in research applicati...

In almost all parts of the world, women live longer than men. The exact cause behind the differential between male and female life expectancy is uncertain, but it appears to be partly explained by biological advantages and partly by environmental and behavioral factors. However, as women outlive men, they are more prone to suffering from ill healt...

Laboratory personnel were invited to participate in an online survey in June 2014. A total of 366 laboratory decision makers qualified to complete the survey, answering questions about their use of laboratory information management systems (LIMS). Respondents organization types include academic laboratory or core facility; federal, state, or local...

Readers of the Lab Manager Magazine were invited to participate in an online survey in September 2014. To qualify for survey participation, readers were required to play a role in their laboratory’s purchasing process, be familiar with their laboratories’ product budgets, and represent a laboratory that either uses or plans to use products in o...

Biosensors are devices which sense biological signals/analyte and then use a transducer to change it to a corresponding electrical energy. Biosensors are differentiated based on the element being analyzed, primarily biological element comprising of enzymes, antibodies, microbes, proteins, etc. and the transducer type being used for analyzing such a...

Oncology diagnosis and biomarker technology is a multidisciplinary field within healthcare technologies. Imaging forms an essential part of cancer clinical protocols and is able to furnish morphological, structural, metabolic and functional information. Biomedical imaging is one of the main pillars of oncology imaging and cancer care. Modern medica...

The overall research objective was to capture and analyze global next-generation (NGS) sequencing trends and use. Most researchers outsource NGS technologies; however, in-house NGS technology use is expected to increase within the next 12 months. Data accuracy and operating costs are the top criteria for purchasing sequencing instruments. Disease-r...

Tissue engineering, which is now being categorized as a form of regenerative medicine, can be defined as biomedical engineering to reconstruct, repair, and improve biological tissues. Research efforts in tissue engineering have been ongoing and it is emerging as one of the key areas of medical research. Furthermore, there are vast developments in t...
