Early Sepsis Detection Full Details>>

Post-operative or post-traumatic sepsis remains one of the leading causes of disease and death in hospital populations. Early diagnosis is essential to avoid a high (~30%) death rate. Dstl has identified a panel of real time PCR biomarkers that can discriminate between patients with sepsis, with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), or with neither condition, days before clinical symptoms are seen.

Protein Expression Full Details>>

Scientists at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) in the UK have developed a novel peptide tag which allows recombinant proteins to be easily immobilised onto a surface, and also improves their expression and production.
