Drug metabolism is the term used to portray the biotransformation of drug substances in the body so they can be killed all the more without any problem. Most of metabolic cycles that include drugs happen in the liver, as the chemicals that encourage the responses are concentrated there.
In the past several years, there has been an increase in drug testing associated with chronic pain. Immunoassays are the most common method for initial screening which can test for a specific...
PrPC is a conserved lipid-raft associated, GPI-anchored cell membrane glycoprotein. Misfolding of cellular PrPC into the pathogenic PrPSc results in Prion disease, an untreatable and fatal ne...

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is an emerging source used molecular cancer diagnostics. Through expression profiling of CTCs, it allows a deeper understanding about which metabolic pathways e...
A recently discovered communication system used by cells to send messages across the human body promises to revolutionize our understanding of disease and how we treat it. Technologies based...
The reproducibility of animal studies is now critical to ensure that limited resources are used wisely and that efforts yield useable knowledge. At this time, IACUCs and other similar a...
Appropriate dosing of pharmaceuticals is critical to prevent sub-therapeutic efficacy or the occurrence of adverse events. However, genetic variability may significantly influence an individu...

The Warburg effect or aerobic glycolysis is a well-known cancer metabolism phenomenon and serves as an established test for tumor detection with FDG-PET scanning technology. Cancer cells swit...
Humans are colonized by vast numbers of symbiotic microorganisms whose metabolisms are inextricably intertwined with our own. To understand how chemical transformations performed by the human...
Cancers exhibit abnormal molecular signatures associated with disease initiation and progression. Molecular signatures could improve cancer screening, detection, drug development and selectio...

Laboratory animal surgical models are instrumental in biomedical research; therefore establishing healthy defined animal models is crucial to this research. Surgical procedures produce metab...
Soiled-bedding sentinels are not always efficient in detecting pathogens in rodent colonies. In this context, PCR-based testing can be more sensitive and is being advocated as adjunct to trad...
Advances in genomic research have led to identification of the majority of the drivers of tumor progression. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms propelling tumor growth is...
The eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E is an oncogene elevated in an estimated 30% of cancers. The traditional view is that eIF4E drives proliferation and survival by increasing t...
Bone turnover markers (BTM) are biological markers of bone remodeling (turnover). The entire skeleton is replaced every 10 years by remodeling, a process constantly going on at different phas...
Pharmcogenomics (PGx) is the 2nd potential clinical application of genomic medicine, preceded by genomic application for cancer. In the recently published, 2012 Institute of Medicine report o...
Obesity is a disease. It was once not considered to be a disease and to be a matter of will power and gluttony. It was also the case that we once thought that fat tissue had no metabolic func...
Variability of vitamin D results remains a hot topic today as more options are available to laboratories. This webinar examines how clinical and analytical factors such as vitamin D binding...
