Counting semi-viable bacteria in cheese
The Wageningen researcher Christine Bunthof has developed a direct method for counting bacteria in dairy products. The method not only distinguishes viable and non-viable bacteria but also semi-viable bacteria. These are too weak to divide, but still exhibit activity. The semi-viable bacteria play an important role in cheese ripening and therefore... view more... (2002-05-23)
HtrA1 and resistance to chemotherapy in ovarian and gastric cancers
While many cancer patients initially have a favorable response to chemotherapy for the treatment of solid tumors, resistance to treatment often develops. view more (2006-06-09)
