Over the last decade, co-crystallization has become an attractive alternative to improve the physiochemical properties of drugs without affecting their pharmacology. As a result of the pharmaceutical benefits co-crystals exhibit, industrial interest is on the rise. Here Dr. Thomas Kendall, application specialist at crystallization and solid-state specialist Technobis Crystallization Systems, gives a perspective on the benefits of co-crystals and explains how they can be screened.

Scomberomorus niphonius is the fish eaten worldwide. In this study, we extracted phospholipids from these fish bones using an advanced supercritical CO 2 extraction technique and tested them against neuroblastoma and normal (HUVEC) cells. The molecular findings indicate phospholipids have an apoptotic activity in neuroblastoma. Abstract Among various types children's health challenges, neuroblastoma is the most serious solid neoplasm forming outside the cranium.

Proteomics – examining the panoply of proteins within a complex sample – has been around much longer than the word we use today to describe it. Proteomics the word was coined in around 1997 as a portmanteau coupling the now-ubiquitous “omics” suffix to the word protein. But two decades earlier two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was the cutting-edge technology that first visualised the “complete” catalogue of proteins in a sample, such as a cell lysate or blood sample.
