    Sample Prep Automation Will Increase Adoption of Proteomics

    For proteomics to provide deeper insights into disease, we need higher throughput methods to analyze larger sample cohorts, such as can be offered with sample prep automation. The initial steps of proteomics involve numerous time-consuming sample preparation steps, necessitating countless transfers using traditional manual pipetting. This may be easy for a handful of samples for an experienced lab technician.

    However, when hundreds or even thousands of samples need to be processed and analyzed, that sample prep work can get tiring and monotonous, characteristics which lead to higher human error rates and subsequent wasted resources. High-throughput proteomics must be capable of processing thousands of samples that come into the lab, as was the case during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Walking Pneumonia Is on the Rise. Here Are the Symptoms to Look Out For

    Infections with a type of bacteria known as Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae), which can be a common cause of walking pneumonia, have been on the rise.

    As its name implies, walking pneumonia is a kind of pneumonia (an infection where the air sacs in the lungs fill with fluid or pus) that is milder than what you’d typically expect—so you’re not bedridden and you’re able to go about your daily tasks, Lauren Pischel, MD, MSc, an infectious disease specialist and instructor at Yale School of Medicine, tells SELF. Whereas the symptoms of a classic case of pneumonia—usually caused by other types of bacteria (like Streptococcus pneumoniae) or a virus—can include fever, shortness of breath, nausea, confusion, and stabbing chest pain so severe that you wind up in the hospital, the “walking” or “atypical” variety of pneumonia presents more like a bad, lingering chest cold.

    Making tough choices digestible

    When the Christmas Lectures are broadcast on BBC Four and iPlayer in late December, we’ll be taking an audience of (I hope) millions through the science of what happens inside our bodies when we eat. How exactly do we (and other living things) work out what to eat, and how do we turn that food into thoughts and actions?

    We’re working from tastebuds to toilet. We’ll look at how what we eat has a massive effect on both our bodies and our brains, and how food has fundamentally shaped human evolution as a result. We’ll also be uncovering the importance of our microbiome – as the extra ‘organ’ we didn’t know we had – and asking how we can all eat better in future.
