The Use Of Short Tandem Repeat Profiling To Characterize Human Bladder Cancer Cell Lines
UroToday.com - My laboratory established a series of urothelial cancer cell lines at the University of Michigan. Having worked with them for more than 2 decades, I became aware of some inconsistencies in results. This led to defining the genomic signature of the cell lines to assure that contamination was not the of these errors. We did find evidence for contamination both in our lab and in the laboratories of our collaborators. Cell line verification has recently been identified by the NIH as a component of high quality research. This manuscript describes unique signatures that can be used to identify my cell lines.

RCN Responds To Publication Of Lord Darzi's Progress Report

Responding to the publication of Lord Darzi"s report, High Quality Care for All: Our Journey So Far, Dr Peter Carter, Chief Executive & General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), said: "Nurses have always strived to deliver quality care and welcomed Lord Darzi"s vision for how clinical staff could achieve this. It has been a significant achievement that since the publication of the NHS review a year ago, everybody is talking about how quality of patient care should take centre stage in the NHS. However, in the tough economic climate we must not take our eye off the ball and let the focus on quality slip. If we are to make quality a reality rather than an aspiration, it is vital that nurses are empowered and given the right level of support. "We have always said clinical leadership is key to driving up patient care and welcome the news that nurses are set to have greater control over budgets. Their frontline perspective means nurses know where money should be spent to achieve the best care for patients. However, adequate support and training for these professionals is needed, particularly while the threat of public spending cuts looms. "While there have been significant improvements in the NHS, there are certain areas where further work is needed. There needs to be greater clarification regarding the practicalities of what delivering care closer to home would look like. Patients want to know exactly what services will be available in the area they call home." "If genuine improvements to the NHS are to be achieved, significant progress towards delivering Darzi"s promises must be made, and the new ways of working must be embedded, before the financial pressures take hold."
