HOW PROTEIN ARRAYS IMPROVE CANCER THERAPEUTICS?

Cancer is a complex degenerative disease needing for rapid and precise diagnosis. Cancer disease is characterized by heterogeneous and changing phenotypes continuously progressing through different clinical stages. As a global approach, personalized medicine aims at integrating diagnosis with therapy. To do so, it is necessary to get as much information as possible about patient genetics…

FLUORESCENCE IMAGING: WHAT IS IT?

The English physicist George Gabriel Stokes coined the term fluorescence in 1852. He observed blue light emitted by fluorite crystals (calcium fluoride) illuminated by ultraviolet light. Even if the emission was related to impurities in the crystals, the term ‘fluorite’ inspired Stokes to name this phenomenon.   The biological and biomedical sciences use fluorescence physical…

WHOLE SLIDE IMAGING – FROM THE MICROSCOPE GLASS SLIDE TO THE DIGITAL IMAGES

Digital pathology (DP), also known as virtual microscopy or whole slide imaging (WSI), is an alternative to conventional microscopy. Beyond enabling a fully digital workflow for anatomical pathology departments, this technology consists of digitizing a glass slide to produce a digital image.  This technology therefore meets the needs of microscope users who seek to visualize…

ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE AND NOVEL DRUGS DISCOVERY

Glycan arrays are efficient tools leading to the discovery of therapeutic strategies. InnoScan analyses of glycan arrays enable to identify specific glycan interactions. With the development of antibiotic resistance, infections are harder to treat. According to the WHO, antimicrobial resistance is one of the current global health threat. Therefore, it is urgent to find novel…
