The quest to cure cancer through the manipulation the immune system has been at the forefront of science for the past half-decade. The result has been the emergence of a multitude of promisin...
A panel of experts will discuss recent advances and current challenges for the successful development and application of human tissue for drug screening, tissue replacement and eventually org...
Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) emerged to characterize gene expression differences between individual cells, allowing a higher resolution look at mRNA abundance than bulk RNA- seq. H...
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is destined to play a much greater role in chronic disease diagnosis and management. Advanced POCT systems are being developed to deliver less costly and more ac...
Immunotherapy: An unprecedented opportunity-Long-lasting/curative treatments-Lower side effects-Wide applicability-Natural mechanism of action-Locally produced T cell therapies&...
The GeneStrat® Genomic Test is a blood-based series of ddPCR tests for DNA (EGFR, KRAS, BRAF) and multiplexed assays for RNA variants (EML4-ALK, ROS1, RET). In this report we will u...
Background: Acute liver injury (ALI) is characterised by hepatocyte death and liver inflammation. Macrophages play a pivotal role in ALI by phagocytosing dead cells and producing pro-regener...
With technology advances and collaboration between engineers and neuroscientists, single-synapse network maps of the brain are possible at increasing scales. In this symposium, our speakers...
RNA-Seq has been used for the past decade to gain significant insights into gene expression. Using bulk methods however only allow for an understanding of the average gene expression within a...
What motivates patients to participate in clinical trials? Discussions most often revolve around potential study participants’ perception of therapeutic benefit. Misconceptions about th...
Over the past few years there has been an increased interest in the role of cannabis for treating medical conditions. Attitude towards cannabis has evolved rapidly with the expanding legaliz...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex group of individually rare neurological conditions with genetic and non-genetic causes. Despite the strong genetic component of ASD, it has been ve...
immunocompromised populations where the virus can cause systemic and even fatal infections. Indeed, we have shown that astrovirus infections are more prevalent than norovirus in our pediatric...
Research on human brain development and neurological diseases is limited by the lack of advanced experimental in vitro models that truly recapitulate the complexity of the human brain. Here, ...
A collection of opinions, questions and other assorted thoughts about the intersection of these developing technologies and preclinical studies primarily focused on the early discovery (as op...
Vaginal microbial communities play an important role in women’s heath. It is now clear that the vaginal microbiome is linked to pregnancy complications such as preterm birth and risk f...
Drug development is a costly and time consuming process, poor translation of data from pre-clinical studies to the clinic is a major contributor as late-stage drug failure is very expensive....
With annual sales exceeding $145 billion, growth of biologic therapeutics is outpacing that of small-molecule drugs, and the development, manufacture, and delivery of biologics presents very...
Microphysiological systems (MPS), also known as organ-on-chips, are small scale in vitro cell cultures which mimic facets of tissue or organ level function. MPS frequently utilise primary hu...
This presentation describes the new process by which the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will establish the prices the Agency pays for clinical diagnostic laboratory tests.&n...
A hypoxic tumour microenvironment is a feature of solid tumours. Many tumour types contain high fractions of hypoxic tissue. The relationship between high levels of tumour hypoxia and a poor...
Molecular analyses of cancer biology have tended to segregate between a focus on nucleic acids – DNA, RNA and their modifications – and a focus on proteins and protein function. P...
Review the similarities and differences between apoptosis and necroptosis, with an introduction to new tools developed to activate effectors of necroptosis....
In 1910, Harrison published the first report of frog embryonic sympathetic ganglia grown in hanging drops of lymph for a few days, where single neurons extended nerve fibers with complex gro...
A rapidly growing number of viruses of lower eukaryotes have been reported in the past few decades. These have enhanced our understanding of virus evolution and diversity. Simultaneously, som...
Those that fund and publish scientific data are actively proposing or requiring strategies to improve research conduct in the hopes of improving research outcomes and scientific deliverables....
