Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. stock rises Monday, still underperforms market
CHATGPT-CREATOR OpenAI has recently considered developing a web browser that would combine with its chatbot and separately discussed or struck deals to power search features, the Information reported on Thursday. OpenAI has spoken about the search product with website and app developers such as Conde Nast, Redfin, Eventbrite and Priceline, the report said, citing people who have seen prototypes or designs of the products. The move could pit the Sam Altman-led company against Google, which commands the lion’s share of the browser and search market. OpenAI has already entered the search market with SearchGPT. Google-owner Alphabet has been trying to boost its AI heft since ChatGPT’s launch in late 2022, answering back with its own generative AI chatbot, Gemini, last year. Shares of Alphabet were down around 1 per cent in extended trading, after closing around 5 per cent lower on Thursday. Google’s dominance in the browser market became precarious after the US Department of Justice argued that the company should sell its Chrome browser to end its monopoly on online search. OpenAI has also discussed powering artificial intelligence features on Samsung-made devices, a key business partner of Google, the Information report said, citing people who were briefed about the situation. The company already has a partnership with Apple, whereby the iPhone maker’s “Apple Intelligence” features on new devices are powered using the technology from OpenAI. The Information report, however, said OpenAI is not remotely close to launching a browser. Google, OpenAI and Samsung did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Kaylene Smikle scored 16 points and made a couple key baskets down the stretch to help No. 10 Maryland hold off George Mason 66-56 in a matchup of unbeatens Saturday at the Navy Classic. The Terrapins (7-0) led by just two when Smikle stole the ball and made a layup while being fouled. The free throw pushed the lead to 58-53. Then a putback by Smikle put Maryland up by seven. The Terps won despite shooting 13 of 26 on free throws. George Mason (6-1) trailed by 10 at halftime before outscoring Maryland 18-7 in the third quarter. The Patriots’ final lead was 49-48 in the fourth after a jumper by Kennedy Harris. Harris led George Mason with 26 points. Maryland is off to its best start since winning its first 12 games in 2018-19. Takeaways George Mason: The Patriots have lost all nine meetings with Maryland, but it’s been more competitive of late. The Terps won 86-77 last year, and this game was more competitive than the final score suggested. Maryland: After a down season by their standards, the Terps are off to a nice start, but the free-throw problems in this game nearly cost them. Key moment With the score 55-53, George Mason had a chance to tie, but the Patriots never really recovered after Smikle swiped the ball from Harris and went the other way for a three-point play with 3:08 remaining. Key stats Although Maryland was awful at the line, at least the Terps got there. George Mason was only 3 of 8 from the stripe, and the Terps held the Patriots to 32% shooting from the field. Up next George Mason faces Navy in this event Sunday. Maryland takes on Toledo. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.

CD BioSciences Announces DS IHC Kits for Human and Rodent Tissues 11-25-2024 08:14 PM CET | Health & Medicine Press release from: ABNewswire CD BioSciences has announced the release of its new DS IHC Kits for researchers. CD BioSciences, a US-based biotechnology company focusing on the development of imaging technologies, has announced the release of its new DS IHC Kits [ https://www.bioimagingtech.com/ds-ihc-kits-for-human-and-rodent-tissues.html ] for researchers working with human and rodent tissues. Developed to streamline the immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining process, these kits can provide researchers with a reliable and efficient tool for visualizing specific proteins in tissue samples. CD BioSciences provides multi-color immunohistochemical staining kits that leverage either ABC (avidin-biotin complex) or polymer signal amplification techniques, facilitating the staining of tissues and cells in 2-3 distinct colors. These innovative kits are engineered to deliver superior quality and are specifically optimized for use with human and rodent samples. The new DS IHC Kits are compatible with a wide range of human and rodent tissues, including formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues and frozen tissues. These kits are ideal for researchers and clinicians who need a reliable and easy-to-use method for IHC staining. For example, the 2-Color IHC Kit for 2 Rabbit Antibody on Human/Rodent Tissue (Catalog NO. MCIS063) is a versatile tool for immunohistochemistry, suitable for a variety of sample types including paraffin-embedded tissue, frozen samples and freshly prepared monolayer cell smears. Double staining is a common technique in immunohistochemistry that allows the simultaneous detection and differentiation of two different antigens within a single tissue sample. This kit is specifically designed for double staining applications and uses DAB (brown) and Fast Red (red) dyes to visualize two different antigens on human and mouse tissue or cell samples when combined with user-supplied rabbit primary antibodies. In addition, the kit contains essential components for successful double staining. These include two polymer-enzyme conjugates: HRP Polymer Anti-Rabbit IgG and AP Polymer Anti-Rabbit IgG. These conjugates are coupled to two chromogenic substrates: DAB (used with HRP polymer anti-Rabbit IgG) and Fast Red (used with AP polymer anti-Rabbit IgG), which produce brown and red staining, respectively. The kit uses a non-biotin system to minimize non-specific binding. The 2-Color IHC Kit for Goat/Rat Antibody on Human/Mouse Tissue (Catalog NO. MCIS070) uses two primary antibodies, goat and rat, to target two different antigens. To visualize these antigens, the kit contains two polymer-enzyme conjugates: HRP polymer anti goat IgG and AP polymer anti rat IgG. These conjugates are coupled to two different chromogens: AEC (red) and BCIP/NBT (purple). Sequential application of these conjugates allows the kit to detect both antigens simultaneously. If both antigens are present, a distinct purple/red colour develops. However, if only one antigen is present, either red or purple staining will be observed. Importantly, this non-biotin system minimizes background noise and ensures specific staining. CD BioSciences provides innovative solutions that enable researchers to make groundbreaking discoveries. The DS IHC Kits are the latest addition to the company's comprehensive portfolio of life science products and services.
