Dozens of people were reported to be in isolation after a Russian laboratory worker at an institute dedicated to studying the plague and other infectious diseases died of an undisclosed illness.

Engineers at Johns Hopkins University have developed two miniature robots that work together to deliver medicine directly to the heart. One anchors itself to heart tissue, while the other finds its partner, docks with it, and releases medication. If another dose is needed, the delivery robot can detach and make way for a replacement. Each machine is roughly as wide as a pencil tip and about as long as a grain of rice. In laboratory experiments, the researchers successfully guided the robots through an artificial heart and tested their ability to attach to pig heart tissue. “With just a little pinprick, you insert a micro robot and do a procedure without infection or blood loss. And you don’t need to have a surgeon operating it to get the drugs robustly, safely, and efficiently to the right place,” said senior author Axel Krieger, a medical roboticist known for creating robots that perform surgery without human help. Two robots, one mission The condition researchers hope to treat is called infective endocarditis, an infection of the heart’s inner lining, often affecting its valves. It usually begins when bacteria enter the bloodstream and settle on heart tissue. There, they can form infected clumps that...

The Federal Ministry of Livestock Development has commenced discussions with the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) on potential areas of technical collaboration to strengthen livestock identification and traceability, food safety, laboratory capacity, certification and Nigeria’s readiness for increased international trade in livestock products. The engagement, which brought together officials of the Ministry and UNIDO, […] The post Nigeria, UNIDO explore partnership to strengthen livestock traceability, food safety appeared first on Tribune Online.

Pathogen DNA/RNA Extraction Kit (Magnetic Bead Method) Nucleic acid extraction kits are chosen less by brand than by fit: sample type, elution volume, instrument protocol and regulatory documentation all shape whether a kit can enter routine laboratory use. The Bioperfectus Pathogen DNA/RNA Extraction Kit (Magnetic Bead Method) is listed for nucleic acid sample preparation across sputum, whole blood, serum or plasma, swabs, urine sediment and tissue homogenate supernatant.
