The Institute of Cancer Research is an English public research institute founded in 1909 and known for a number of breakthrough cancer discoveries. It has analyzed ex vivo tumor tissues to study the gene expression of breast tumors and their metastases. Breast cancer xenografts from different cell lines (MDA-MB-435 and GI-101) as well as their […]

Since its launch, the Precellys Emulsion kit has been increasingly used to generate injectable antigen or antibody emulsions for research on auto-immune diseases. Emulsions are viscous substances used for a wide array of products, from the food industry to the biomedical field. In biological and biomedical applications, adjuvants are substances injected along with an antigen […]

In May 2022, Bertin Winlight was selected by the European Space Agency for the supply of eight mirrors for the SMILE (Solar-wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer) satellite.

Fungal infections represent a constant threat in hospitals. Traditional monitoring involves impacted culture media that are incubated for several days so that the fungal species may grow. These systems are limited by their link with culture techniques, involving a time lapse to results of around 7 days and by a maximal sampling rate of 100 […]

Endocrine disruptors (EDCs) in the environment come from several origins. When they accumulate in organisms, they can lead to endocrine system dysfunctions and consequently to population decline. One such disruptor is the insecticide chlordecone (CLD). Although EDC biomarkers are well established in vertebrates, few are available in invertebrates, such as arthropods. In this application note, […]

The first case of natural SARS-CoV-2 infection in mink was reported in April 2020. Since then, more than 400 cases of human-to-mink and vice-versa transmissions have been confirmed within the European Union. Several research studies have shown that widespread circulation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus within mink farms could lead to the creation of vaccine-resistant virus […]
