A flow cytometry-based assay for screening FimH antagonists
ASSAY and Drug Development Technologies Share
  
Urinary tract infections, including cystitis and pyelonephritis, affect a large proportion of the population and account for significant medical costs. In more than 80 percent of UTIs, uropathogenic Escherichia coli is the causative pathogen. The initial step in the pathogenesis of the infection is the adherence of UPEC to the human bladder epithelium, enabling the invasion into the host cells and the development of UTIs.

High-throughput droplet digital PCR system for absolute quantitation of DNA copy number
Analytical Chemistry Share
  
Digital PCR enables the absolute quantitation of nucleic acids in a sample. The lack of scalable and practical technologies for digital PCR implementation has hampered the widespread adoption of this inherently powerful technique. Here we describe a high-throughput droplet digital PCR system that enables processing of approximately 2 million PCR reactions using conventional TaqMan assays with a 96-well plate workflow.

Tweaking a gene makes muscles twice as strong: New avenue for treating muscle degeneration
Science Daily Share
  
An international team of scientists has created super-strong, high-endurance mice and worms by suppressing a natural muscle-growth inhibitor, suggesting treatments for age-related or genetics-related muscle degeneration are within reach. The project was a collaboration between researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and two Swiss institutions, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne and the University of Lausanne.

Fatty bundles sneak siRNA into cells
Chemical & Engineering News Share
  
Inside a cell, small interfering RNAs can silence genes responsible for disease, making them ideal molecules for gene therapy. But siRNAs have trouble getting there. Now researchers report that they can smuggle the nucleic acids into cells by wrapping them in lipid nanoparticles.

Preparation of highly infective Leishmania promastigotes by cultivation on SNB-9 biphasic medium
Journal of Microbiological Methods Share
  
Protozoan hemoflagellates Leishmania are causative agents of leishmaniases and an important biological model for study of host–pathogen interaction. A wide range of methods of Leishmania cultivation on both biphasic and liquid media is available. Biphasic media are considered to be superior for initial isolation of the parasites and obtaining high promastigote infectivity; however, liquid media are more suitable for large-scale experiments.
