Attention, EACR members and non-members alike! This free public webinar happening on 18 June will welcome QIAGEN to discuss the difficulties in diagnosing pleural mesothelioma and the attempts to find an alternative to the currently used cytological test. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eyzG6tht

Through this retrospective investigation of the material composition of thrombi ex vivo using DE-CT, Melina Gassenhuber et al. find that DE-CT has the potential to quantitatively characterize the material composition of ischemic stroke thrombi. #EuropeanRadiologyExperimental 🔗 https://buff.ly/4cWd9E9

#ICYMI: Our scientists recently sat down to discuss the NLRP3 inflammasome and how the functions of NLRP3 and NEK7 are closely linked. Learn more about the NLRP3/NEK7 connection and Monte Rosa’s innovative work with a NEK7-directed molecular glue degrader targeting this important pathway.

Subacromial injection of platelet-rich plasma provides greater improvement in pain and functional outcomes compared to corticosteroids at 1-year follow-up: a double-blinded randomized controlled trial https://lnkd.in/g-b3gAt7

Even 1.6x PRP Beats steroid at one year follow-up for subacromial bursitis PRP vs. Corticosteroids in Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy 🔬 A recent double-blind, randomized controlled trial has shown that subacromial injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) provide greater, sustained pain relief and functional improvements compared to corticosteroids in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. 📊 Main finding: “At the 12-month follow-up, patients in the PRP group showed significantly greater improvement in pain and functional outcomes than those receiving corticosteroids, with a failure rate of only 12% compared to 30% in the corticosteroid group.” This study underscores PRP’s potential as a long-term treatment option, offering not just symptomatic relief but a regenerative approach to tendinopathy. With reduced failure rates and improvements in pain, function, and sleep quality, PRP is increasingly showing promise for sustained musculoskeletal health. This evidence is another step forward in utilizing biologics for MSK patients , offering patients alternatives that align with their recovery and quality of life goals. #RegenerativeMedicine #PRP #MSKDOC #MusculoskeletalHealth #Biologics #Tendinopathy #PainManagement

Let’s face it, miRNA isolation can be a challenge. 😩 But Dr. Katharina Rehklau has plenty of tips to help you out. ⬇ For instance, are you battling incomplete lysis during miRNA extraction? Try mechanical disruption with bead-beating or tissue grinding, plus enzymatic digestion, like Proteinase K, for those tough samples. And that’s just a preview of what’s to come. Eager to learn more hands-on tips and tricks? Join our upcoming webinar on September 17 and 24. Best of all, you'll get the chance to ask Katharina your specific miRNA isolation questions live.

🧠 LabLogic’s Posi-RAM has been used in a collaborative study by Neumann et al. at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the University of Virginia. The PET metabolite radio-HPLC detector was used to quantify [F-18]DPA-714 binding in the brain of college athletes following a concussion, compared to healthy subjects. Because it uses coincidence counting to accurately measure small amounts of injected radioactivity, it is an ideal instrument for human clinical trials. 👉 You can learn more about how the Posi-RAM was used in the study by clicking here: https://lnkd.in/dVc8crFa
