Advances in cell and molecular biology have catapulted our understanding of the science of life from the basic understanding of how cells and the components of cells interact within living organisms. Remain up to date on recent discoveries and revelations through these webinars.
Background: Despite the immunogenicity and safety profile of dendritic cell (DC) vaccines, the importance of vaccine-induced antigen-specific T cell responses is unclear across clinical tria...
The identity of somatic and pluripotent cells can be epigenetically reprogrammed and forced to adapt a new functional cell state by different methods and distinct combinations of exogenous fa...
Current methods for human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) derivation, expansion and differentiation can be limited in scalability and costly (due to their labor intensive nature). This...
T cell lymphocytes play a central role in the adaptive immune response. They are an essential tool of adoptive cell therapy for the treatment of chronic viral infections and malignant diseas...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health threat, affecting 11-15% of the U.S. population alone. Currently, there are no effective therapies to cure CKD. Drug therapies are not p...
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and their derivatives are increasingly being used in industry to gain a competitive edge in drug discovery and a new wave of biotechnology start-up compan...
There are a number of free and independent scholarly publishing tools available that save journal authors time and ensure research is found, read and tracked. In this talk, we will explore th...
Pluripotent stem cells can reproduce indefinitely and develop into any cell type in the body. We are putting pluripotent stem cells to use, for a neuron replacement therapy for Parkinso...
The Resource Identification Initiative supports NIH's new guidelines for Rigor and Transparency as these apply in biomedical publications. Authors are instructed to authenticate key biolo...
The active shaping of biological membranes is essential for a variety of cellular functions including but not limited to cell migration, cell division, organelle morphology, and cell and memb...
CRISPR has revolutionized how we do science in a similar way PCR changed the face of molecular biology. Learn how to take advantage of this phenomenal technology in the easiest way with Synth...
The advancement of microbioreactor technology in recent years has transformed early- and mid-stage process development. Their monitoring and control capabilities not only promote the rapid a...
Actin cytoskeleton drives cell migration in muscle and non-muscle cells and plays a major role in such diverse processes as tissue morphogenesis, muscle contraction, and cancer metastases. In...
Environment drives bacterial functional diversification. Molecular functional abilities of individual microbes and microbiomes from different envrionment conditions, such as temperature or sa...
Therapeutic application of pluripotent stem (PS) cell-derived products represents the ultimate goal of stem cell research. In order to apply this technology to patients, it is fundamental to ...
Learning how to leverage your network and enhance your current reputation can boost your career Development path. This workshop is designed to provide tools and strategies to enhance your per...
Disease-specific human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) represent a new chance to unravel cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurological diseases. Along this line, we were among the first to...
The innate immune response requires continuous surveillance of the environment, and the ability to detect and react to pathogens and danger signals. Phagocytosis –the ingestion of parti...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized vesicles containing active proteins, lipids, and different types of genetic material such as non coding RNA species, related to the characteristics...
Gene therapy involves introducing a functional gene into the patient's cells to replace a missing or defective one. It has revolutionized the field of medicine and has the potential to c...
Room air conditions are hypothermic, hypocapnic and hyperphysioxic from the cells’ point of view. Yet we stress cells with these uncontrolled conditions routinely. It is no wonder that...
Currently over 95 % of pharmaceutical products and transport fuels are derived from petroleum. Sustainable alternatives are critical to achieving net-zero emissions without detriment to qual...
Stem cells can self-renew and differentiate into multiple different cell types. Engineering of stem cells has enabled new methods to study development and organogenesis in humans as well as d...
Early adverse exposures, such as maternal stress during pregnancy and child abuse, are thought to result in long-lasting consequences on neural circuit function and stress hormone regulation...
Extracellular vesicles provide a tool to measure tumour characteristics in blood, at various stages of cancer development. We have extensively used multiplex RNA bead-based assays (Quantigen...
Diabetes is a debilitating chronic disease that is spirally out of control. Fundamentally, the progressive failure of pancreatic beta cells results in decreased insulin secretion, ultimately ...
Background: Despite the immunogenicity and safety profile of dendritic cell (DC) vaccines, the importance of vaccine-induced antigen-specific T cell responses is unclear across clinical tria...
