About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Rustam Gilfanov: Boundaries of genetic modification. Breakthroughs, achievements, failures, and limits

Los Angeles, California, United States - 07-29-2022 (PR Distribution™) -

Every year, genetic modifications find new areas of application, one way or another. Technologies that were innovative a few years ago are eventually becoming standard tools of clinical practice. 

Ex vivo modification

One of the first relatively successful cases of applying gene therapy for patient treatment took place in 1990. During the treatment, the patient's lymphocytes were taken, modified ex vivo using a retroviral vector, and delivered back to her body.

Numerous ex vivo modifications have been introduced to clinical practice to help against various disorders, with CAR-T therapy being one of the most promising methods. 

CRISPR gene editing

A 2015 Nature article on CRISPR/Cas9 technology [11] called it a “game-changer” and compared its development to the introduction of PCR to laboratory practice. “Molecular scissors” have indeed provided vast clinical opportunities for editing genes with utmost precision, “cutting off” defective genes and replacing them with normally functioning ones. 

CRISPR is used with relative success for treating ?-thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, it has not fully become a systemic clinical practice.

Cancer therapy is another promising area of application for "molecular scissors." During their research, Chinese scientists used CRISPR to edit the genes of patients with non-small-cell lung carcinoma and disrupt a gene encoding the PD1 protein. The researchers concluded the technology is safe for clinical practice; however, further studies expressed concerns over the long-term health effects of genome editing.

In general, doubts about CRISPR accuracy are the main obstacle to making it a routine clinical practice. Researchers still cannot be 100% sure that "scissors" will do their cutting as intended, raising questions over the potential outcomes of such editing.
