Five new scientific publications enabled by Attana

Five new scientific articles featuring Attana instruments have recently been published in peer reviewed publications including the highly regarded Science Advances as well as Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, Talanta and Carbohydrate Research.

The team of Professor Roland Kontermann at the Institute of Cell Biology and Immunology, University of Stuttgart, Germany has published their work in the American Association for Cancer Research journal, Molecular Cancer Therapeutics. The article, Inhibition of Tumor Cell Growth and Cancer Stem Cell Expansion by a Bispecific Antibody Targeting EGFR and HER3 explains their development of a novel bispecific antibody which is shown to suppress the growth of cancer cells in a variety of different models. Additionally, their antibody showed superior performance to the parental antibodies, “holding promise for further preclinical development”.

Other recent Attana enabled scientific articles include:

• The mechanism of Hsp90-induced oligomerizaton of Tau (Science Advances) by Sabrina Weickert et al. at the University of Konstanz, Germany.

• The impact of structural modification of sulfated polysaccharides on bone morphogenic protein 2 and inhibition of endothelial cell angiogenesis (Carbohydrate Research) by Ying Wang et al. at the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, China.

• Novel approach to the measurement of antithyroglobulin antibodies in human serum –application of the Quartz Crystal Microbalance sensors (Talanta) by Lidija S.Vrhovac et al. at the University of Belgrade, Serbia, and

• Direct attachment of suspension cells to PDA surface and its application in suspension-cell QCM biosensor (Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical) by Xueming Li et al. at Northwest A&F University, Yangling, China.

Attana congratulates the research teams on their success!
