November 21^st marks the International Pancreatic Cancer Day, an important opportunity to highlight the importance of ongoing research in this challenging field. Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat malignancies, often diagnosed at advanced stages, making research into effective treatments and diagnostic tools even more vital.

At Ugo Basile, we are honored to support groundbreaking research aimed at making a difference in the fight against pancreatic cancer.

The Thermal Gradient Ring (TGR) represents a significant leap forward in studying thermal nociception and temperature preference. It is a versatile tool for investigating sensitivity, pain and inflammation mechanisms. Recently, Ugo Basile has developed a new version of the TGR, introducing several important innovations.

Come with us to discover the new TGR 2 and its innovative features!

The World Multiple Sclerosis Day, held annually on May 30th, is an occasion that unites the global community in raising awareness about Multiple Sclerosis, advocating for better treatment, and supporting ongoing research.

Let's explore together the role of Ugo Basile in preclinical scientific research on multiple sclerosis.

May 24th is World Schizophrenia Awareness Day. This day represents an important opportunity to reflect on the significance of preclinical research in shedding light on this mental disorder affecting approximately 24 million people worldwide and to highlight the contribution that Ugo Basile, with the OPERON, offers for studying executive functions in preclinical models of schizophrenia.

April 11th as World Parkinson's Day, World Parkinson's Day, a propitious moment to reflect on the strides made in understanding and treating this complex neurodegenerative disorder, impacting movement, quality of life, and independence.

Understanding of Parkinson's has grown significantly over the past decades, but much work remains to be done in the quest to translate understanding of basic Parkinson's biology into new therapies.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects individuals in various ways, influencing their communication, social interaction, and behavior. Each year on the 2^nd of April we celebrate World Autism Awareness Day, an occasion it's crucial to delve into the intricacies of this condition, fostering understanding and support for those living with autism. Ugo Basile offers two main devices used in studies on autism: the Three-chamber sociability apparatus and the Agora Maze - SocioBox method.

The recent study titled "Thermal Gradient Ring for analysis of temperature-dependent behaviors involving TRP channels in mice" has shed light on this complex interplay, highlighting the crucial role of the Thermal Gradient Ring (TGR) in advancing our understanding of thermosensation.

The Brain Awareness Week is the annual global campaign organized by the Dana Foundation that shines a spotlight on the wonders of the brain and the importance of brain science in understanding and improving human health. Held each March, the Brain Awareness Week brings together scientists, educators, policymakers, and the public to celebrate the complexities of the brain and promote awareness of neurological research and advancements.

Exciting new research alert! Ugo Basile's RotaRod & Dynamic Plantar used to discover how NAAA-regulated lipid signaling in monocytes influences hyperalgesic priming induction in mice, shedding light on chronic pain mechanisms

Although often used in a interchangeable manner, “motor function and motor coordination” have a subtle difference. While “motor function” refers to general motor performance including strength, and in general the ability to execute purposeful movements, “motor coordination” is a slightly more specific concept even more tightly related to measure the harmonious functioning on the muscles and limbs to produce smooth and efficient movements. Read more to discover which Ugo Basile devices are used for these two different applications.
