This is a cross-post from the Blogging for Science Online London group blog. During the Saturday workshop at Science Online London 2011, a bunch of us wrote content relating to Spinal Muscular Atrophy. My post was a short summary of a small scale drug trial, which shows promising results.
This is a [...]
At the heart of Systems Biology is a vast hunger for measurements. mRNA abundance, metabolite concentration, reactions rates, degradation rates, protein abundance. This last measurement has long been problematic for researchers, mass spectrometers get increasingly accurate and powerful, but are still hindered by the simple fact that observed signal intensity does not necessarily correlate directly with the [...]
Eczema and asthma often co-occur, indeed, I suffer from both (albeit mildly). What I wasn’t aware of was that eczema often comes first. Though eczema often precedes asthma (asthma has an underlying rate of 4-8% in the general population, but 70% in individuals with a history of chronic severe eczema), the underlying mechanism for [...]
You know an article is going to be good when it starts with a sentence like ‘Due to the overwhelming increase in [sequence data/transcriptomics data/etc]…’. So an opening gambit of ‘With the overwhelming amount and exponential increase of biomedical literature[...]‘ filled me with the promise of things to come.

- Not the ideal end to the week. Blood tests and X-rays all for basically nothing. Still at least I'm home in time to have a proper weekend.
