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.
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...
Across the entire spectrum of the life sciences sector, from academia and hospitals to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, enormous amounts of resources are invested in the development of...
The enteric nervous system (ENS) plays an essential role in gut motility. Diseases of the ENS result in bowel motility disorders that are some of the most challenging clinical conditions to m...
Cell motility and migration are of great interest to many researchers, e.g. in the fields of cancer metastasis and immunology. Using digital holographic microscopy (DH), cell movement can be...
CRISPR based gene editing has proven to be an incredibly powerful tool for studying functions of individual proteins, understanding the role of multi-gene pathways, and even knocking out prot...
Current methods for in vitro diagnosis of autoimmune diseases (ADs) are mainly based on the detection of circulating autoantibodies using specific AD autoantigens. A high-quality recombinant...
During this webcast Dr. Mayumi Fujita of the National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology in Japan will address the method of real-time imaging of invading cells us...
Nucleic acid testing is crucial for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment monitoring of many diseases in medicine. Over the last years, microRNAs (miRNAs), short non-coding RNAs, as biomar...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
Regenerative medicine therapeutics aimed at restoring normal cell function due to trauma and disease are gaining increasing momentum in clinical trials. For this purpose, lentivirus-based gen...
The last decade has seen a significant shift in the way that mammalian cells are used in biomedical science. Researchers are increasingly turning from simple, reductionist recombinant cells t...
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...
For more than a century, breakthroughs in biological sciences have relied on the ability to study cells outside of respective organisms. While majority of cell culturing is still performed u...
The availability of well-characterised monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) detecting cell-surface epitopes on human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provides useful research tools to investigate the c...
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...
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...
Environment drives bacterial functional diversification. Molecular functional abilities of individual microbes and microbiomes from different envrionment conditions, such as temperature or sa...
Thinking about a starting a job search? Join us to listen to some tips to help you prepare for starting a successful career/job search. Topics covered: Resume Writing tips, Preparing fo...
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...
Healthy human red blood cells (RBCs) gradually degrade over their lifespan of ~120 days. However, sickle cells - RBCs from sickle cell disease (SCD) patients - degrade much faster within the...
CRISPR experiments are a powerful tool which are easy to carry out, however it is more difficult to determine the outcome of these experiments, and to ensure that only the desired targets we...
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...
