In 2019, over 220,000 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer and 82,000 will die of the disease. Approximately 90% of cancer related deaths are the result of metastatic disease. This is ind...
Multiplex immunofluorescence IHC is a powerful technique to address the increasing research needs in immuno-oncology to better understand the tumor microenvironment. In this webinar, we will...
The RNAscope in situ hybridization technology allows high sensitivity, specificity and spatial resolution providing pivotal single-cell gene expression information to gain better insights in...
Neoantigen based personalized immuno-oncology drugs are a relatively new therapeutic avenue that have shown strong anti-tumor efficacy in the clinic. Neoantigen peptides have been widely rep...
While providing indispensable insight into immune processes, the live cell imaging of immune cells poses unique challenges due to their non-adherent nature. Suspension cells such as immune c...
Gene manipulation studies in primary human immune cells can answer important biological questions within a clinically relevant cellular context. In this webinar we explore the use of several...
Multiplexed immunofluorescent imaging sheds new light on cancer and other complex conditions. This imaging technique offers a deeper understanding of cells and their surroundings by providin...
A key step in the clinical production of CAR T cells is the expansion of engineered T cells. To generate enough cells for viable adoptive cell therapy, cells must be robustly stimulated, whi...
Understanding morphogenesis is an inherently four-dimensional problem, as cells change position in space and the embryo is transformed over time. Dorsal intercalation of epidermal cells in t...
Immune checkpoint blockade has revolutionized the treatment for patients with cancer. Great efforts remain to better understand resistant mechanisms to treatment as well as means to improve...
Cancer vaccines are increasingly being developed and tested as a cancer treatment and prevention strategy. Designing cancer vaccines is complicated by a number factors including choice of an...
Cancer initiation and virulence depends on mechanisms to evade host immunosurveillance and suppression of early invasion and growth. Distinct phenotypes of the immune infiltrates in and arou...
Immune checkpoint therapies targeting the CTLA-4 and PD-(L)1 pathways have been largely clinically disappointing for patients with prostate cancer. This can be attributed to the highly immun...
Similar to the “histone code” hypothesis in which epigenetic marks on histone tails expand the information potential of the genetic code, different tubulin isoforms, combined wit...
LED illumination has become more prominent in microscopy for both fluorescence and transmitted applications over the past few years. Today, LEDs provide many benefits over mercury and metal...
Madin Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells can form a polarized epithelial layer in culture. We and others have observed that these layers are frequently characterized by extralayer cells, posit...
Programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibits T and B cell function upon ligand binding. PD-1 blockade revolutionized cancer treatment, and while numerous patients respond, some develop autoimmune-like...
