October is , a time to highlight advances in research that improve our understanding of breast cancer progression.

The bone marrow is a frequent site of breast cancer metastasis and contributes substantially to patient morbidity and mortality worldwide. New research highlights the OPG/RANKL axis as an important immune-related pathway in breast cancer bone metastasis, based on data from a preclinical model.

Key insights:
▪️ OPG-producing B cells were associated with reduced bone metastatic burden
▪️ RANKL-expressing T cells were linked to increased metastatic risk

👉 The findings reinforce the relevance of OPG and RANKL as biomarkers in bone biology, osteoimmunology, and translational cancer research

At Biomedica, our human OPG and RANKL ELISA assay kits support researchers studying these pathways in human samples.

Could a ginseng-derived compound help restore calcium balance under neurotoxic stress?

Ginsenoside compound K (CK), a metabolite of compounds found in ginseng, has shown neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. However, its role in regulating calcium signaling under neurotoxic stress remains unclear.

A recent study led by Prof. Geun Hee Seol examined how trimethyltin (TMT) affects neuronal, glial, and vascular cells, and whether CK could help restore their calcium responses. TMT increased calcium influx in neuronal cells but reduced it in astrocytes, microglia, and vascular smooth muscle cells. CK reduced the elevated influx in neurons and restored the suppressed response in astrocytes. These findings suggest that CK may help regulate calcium balance in a cell type-dependent manner.

As part of the study, researchers used Celloger® Mini Plus to monitor cell confluence in real time over 24 hours following TMT treatment. This allowed them to compare how different cell types responded to neurotoxic stress over time.
We’re pleased to see Celloger® Mini Plus supporting research on cellular responses to neurotoxic stress.

🔬 Looking beyond the red blood cell count

Red blood cells need to deform, flow and respond to changing conditions to move effectively through the microcirculation.

The Lorrca platform allows researchers to investigate the functional behaviour of red blood cells through:

* RBC Deformability – how well red cells change shape under shear stress
* Osmoscan – deformability across an osmotic gradient
* Oxygenscan – changes in RBC behaviour under decreasing oxygen levels
* Aggregation & Disaggregation – how red cells aggregate and separate under changing shear conditions

These measurements open new possibilities in research areas including:

🩸 Sickle Cell Disease
🩸 Hereditary anaemias and membrane disorders
🩸 Thalassaemia and enzyme deficiencies
🩸 Malaria and sepsis research
🩸 Blood storage and blood quality
🩸 Microcirculation and RBC therapeutics

Lorrca turns red blood cell mechanics into measurable data.

Biocom Africa can assist researchers with the Lorrca platform, applications and local support.

Contact us to discuss how Lorrca could fit into your research.

A major development for Ebola outbreak response in Africa

The Liferiver™ Ebola Virus (EBOV) Real Time RT-PCR Kit has been added to the WHO Emergency Use Listing for use in the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak response.

The assay supports the detection of:

• Zaire ebolavirus

• Sudan ebolavirus

• Taï Forest ebolavirus

• Bundibugyo ebolavirus

Validated sample types include EDTA whole blood, EDTA plasma and serum.

Key features

✅ WHO-evaluated 95% limit of detection of 23.9 copies per reaction

✅ Internal control to monitor RNA extraction efficiency and potential PCR inhibition

✅ Compatibility with established real-time PCR platforms

✅ Listed by Africa CDC among the recommended RT-PCR tests for the Bundibugyo outbreak response

Reliable and rapid molecular diagnostics remain essential for outbreak surveillance, early detection and effective public health response.

BIOCOM Africa can assist laboratories with product information, technical documentation and quotations.
