Taste and AgRP
How Hunger Impacts TasteNature Communications just released a publication featuring use of our Agouti-Related Protein (AgRP) Antibody.It examines the neuronal mechanisms regulating hunger-induced taste modification. Starved mice exhibit an increased preference for sweetness and tolerance for aversive taste. This hunger-induced taste modification is recapitulated by selective activation of orexigenic Agouti-related peptide (AgRP)-expressing neurons in the hypothalamus projecting to the lateral hypothalamus.Ou Fu, Yuu Iwai, Masataka Narukawa, Ayako W.

Mapping human cell phenotypes to genotypes with single-cell genomics
The cumulative activity of all of the body’s cells, with their myriad interactions, life histories, and environmental experiences, gives rise to a condition that is distinctly human and specific to each individual. It is an enduring goal to catalog our human cell types, to understand how they develop, how they vary between individuals, and how they fail in disease. Single-cell genomics has revolutionized this endeavor because sequencing-based methods provide a means to quantitatively annotate cell states on the basis of high-information content and high-throughput measurements. Together with advances in stem cell bio...

What is wound dehiscence?
When all goes well after an operation, the surgical wound heals, as the edges slowly but surely meet each other and are held together by sutures or staples. A possible complication in this process is dehiscence, also known as wound separation. It occurs when the edges of the wound fail to meet, causing the incision closure to give way. Mild dehiscence only affects a single staple or suture, while severe cases can cause the entire incision to pull away and re-open the wound. Here's what patients should know about wound dehiscence treatment and prevention: Wound dehiscence is a possible post-surgery complication. Wound...

Quick guide to wound care dressings
There are over 6,000 types of wound care dressings available today, according to Wound Source. That's a lot for even medical professionals to keep up with. However, there are various categories of wound dressings designed for specific types of wounds. When you're injured, your doctor will choose the type of dressing that's best suited for the wound, as well as its location and severity. Here's a quick guide to the most common categories of wound dressings: There are several types of wound dressings that promote proper healing. Alginates These dressings are made from brown seaweed or kelp, and sometim...

Do wounds heal faster covered or uncovered?
Think back to your childhood at a point when you scraped your knee. You had two options: Clean it up and let it air out or place a bandage over it to stop the bleeding. Which recovery method was truly the most effective? Contrary to popular belief, giving a wound time to breathe without a dressing doesn't improve healing time. In fact, it may induce pain and even slow down the healing process. What happens when you leave a wound uncovered If we think far back to before the bandage was invented, men and women likely let their cuts and scrapes be if there wasn't a form of dressing available. They discovered that the ...

Treating and managing diabetic neuropathic foot ulcers
  A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that diabetes rates are at a steady growth, with more than 100 million people in the country living with diabetes or prediabetes as of 2017. This condition has a major impact on overall health and wellness and can cause serious complications involving vision loss, heart disease, stroke, and even toe, foot or leg amputation due to ulcers. Defining diabetic foot ulcers According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, a diabetic foot ulcer is an open wound or sore that occurs in those who have diabetes. Diabetic patients are more likely to develo...

Scanning UDI Bar Codes Helps VA Hospital Gain New Efficiencies
As medical device manufacturers and labelers mark their products with unique device identifiers to address the requirements of the U.S. FDA’s Unique Device Identification (UDI) Rule, these identifiers can also be scanned at the point of care. Healthcare providers can improve patient safety and, at the same time, realize operational efficiencies by scanning UDI bar codes as products are checked in and out of inventory and as they are used in the course of patient care. For manufacturers that have chosen to use the GS1 System of Standards, the GS1 Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) is used as the unique device...
