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.
Early detection is critical for improved survival in melanoma. Melanocytic nevi are extremely common benign tumors that mimic melanoma and are therefore commonly biopsied. Currently, the dete...
Ductal cells share several markers with pancreatic embryonic progenitors, suggesting that ductal cells could be the closest lineage to an adult progenitor in the pancreas, thus their stem-lik...
Creating inducible Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) collections of rare patients scattered world-wide can lower the barrier of biological discovery of rare disease, provide a platform for potenti...
Cellular processes are orchestrated by a large number of biomolecules in a spatially and temporally coordinated manner within a tiny volume. To uncover the underlying organizational principle...
Metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) is a phenotypically diverse disease with poor responses to immune based therapeutics. Development of immunotherapeutic strategies for mPC is hampered by the...
As reprogramming methodologies have become more reliable and efficient, corresponding improvements were needed in the characterization workflow as well; specifically in terms of the speed, ef...
The continuous generation of blood cells throughout life relies on the existence of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) generated during embryogenesis. Given the importance of HSC transplantation...
Bioflavonoids are dietary agents found in everyday food items such as fruits, vegetables, and legumes. It has been suggested that bioflavonoids be used with chemotherapeutics as an anti-cance...
Alongside intense efforts to exploit T-cells as immunotherapies for cancer (e.g. checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T, T-cell metabolism), researchers are increasingly considering other immune cell t...
Demand for high-value biologics, a rapidly growing pipeline, and pressure from competition, time-to-market and regulators, necessitate novel biomanufacturing approaches, including Quality by...
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...
Over the last decade, the policy and regulatory trajectory of genomic and reproductive technologies has been a checkered one. Approaches around the world range from constitutional and crimina...
Despite FDA-approved vaccines and antivirals, seasonal and pandemic influenza remains a serious threat associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The present modalities and vaccine...
Since the establishment of reverse genetics techniques to manipulate the influenza virus genome, it has been possible to study viral molecular signatures responsible for virulence, and the ge...
Mitochondrial defects represent a common pathogenetic mechanism associated with neurodegeneration. At the same time, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations frequently cause neurological diseases...
The quest to decipher the complex molecular events underpinning cell polarity and organelle segregation during eukaryotic cell division presents a formidable challenge. A predominant focus o...
This presentation provides a brief introduction to biotech entrepreneurship including factors that are pertinent to biotech entrepreneurship and different myths and facts that exist. You will...
The use of biologic-based therapeutics has revolutionized our ability to treat complex diseases such as cancer- and autoimmune-related disorders. Biologic-based therapeutics are known to gen...
Integrated protocols and live-cell analysis solutions for different 3D tumor modelsIn the search for greater clinical translation, cancer researchers are increasingly turning to more comp...
Biopharmaceuticals produced with mammalian cells are the key drivers for the medication of former untreatable diseases. The development of their production processes is still challenging bec...
The manipulation of the genome to study disease, evaluate drug targets and to stratify patient populations is now a widely accepted concept in the field. At Horizon Discovery, genome engineer...
Contractile non-muscle cells, including smooth muscle and myoepithelial cells, provide the mechanical forces required for tissue homeostasis in numerous organ systems. For example, smooth mus...
Einstein researcher Robert Singer, Ph.D., discusses a breakthrough in microscopy that is allowing scientists to track messenger RNA in living cells in real time. The study, published in the S...
There are many methods of nucleic acid isolation. Each technology offers different approaches of purification of the template. However, it is important to control carry over of “proces...
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...
This webinar is designed to explore the fundamental characteristics of reverse transcriptases and the essential factors that play a pivotal role in achieving high-quality cDNA synthesis from...
