At the global level, mobility is above pre-COVID levels, and mask use is at the lowest level since mid-March 2020. The move away from social distancing combined with the spread of the BA.5 O...
In light of the recent pandemic, less attention has been given to more common viruses like influenza. Scientists believe influenza may have been around before the 16th century and probably c...
In the US, there are about 75 million individuals less than 18 years of age. COVID-19 has had a major impact on the pediatric population, as there have been more than 13.5 million documented...
SARS-CoV-2 vaccine efficacy testing is now facing increasing challenges in the face of an ongoing pandemic with the emergence of new variants and waning vaccine immunity. Evidence supports t...
Date: October 19, 2022 Time: 6:00am (PDT), 9:00am (EDT), 2:00pm (CEST) It is important that clinical drug candidates not only have appropriate affinity and target specificity, but also have...
At the end of 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), emerged in China. As of September 2022, SARS-CoV...
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased awareness about sex-specific differences in immunity and outcomes following respiratory virus infections. Strong evidence of a male bias in acute...
Vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have been made in a record time. However, although the vaccines that have been deployed have clearly reduced the percentage of severe infections in countries wher...
Coronavirus Immunotherapeutic Consortium (CoVIC) is an international effort to conduct side-by-side, apples-to-apples comparisons of leading therapeutic antibody candidates against the SARS-...
The host antiviral innate immune response protects the host against infection. Like with other viruses, the host recognizes SARS-CoV-2 infection and triggers a series of signaling cascades t...
Background Protection from SARS-CoV-2 vaccines wanes over time and is compounded by emerging variants including Omicron subvariants. This study evaluated safety and immunogenicity of SARS-Co...
First Broadcast: Date: October 12, 2022 Time: 8:00am PDT, 11:00am EDT Second Broadcast: Date: October 12, 2022 Time: 9:00am SGT The new Embedded CryoSPARC Live, now fully integrated with t...
Date: October 12, 2022 Time: 9:00am (PDT), 12:00pm (EDT), 6:00pm (CEST) The microbiome of every food product is incredibly diverse and can include everything from innocuous background flora...
Genetic biomarkers have become increasingly important for disease prediction, early disease detection and progression, and options for intervention. Tumor biopsies are commonly used as sourc...
One of the central tenets of biology is that our genetics—our genotype—influences the physical characteristics we manifest—our phenotype. But with more than 25,000 human ge...
Precision medicine is transforming cancer care, with next-generation sequencing (NGS) enabling the simultaneous analysis of multiple genomic alterations with therapeutic implications. Howeve...
Variation in gene expression among cell types, tissues, and organisms is commonly examined by reverse transcription quantitative PCR, or RT-qPCR. In this process, RNA is isolated from sample...
The future of cancer care is contingent on better understanding of molecular, clinical, and outcome data. This can be achieved by leveraging collaborative affiliations and networks locally a...
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is an important technology that reveals gene expression differences between different cell types. Yet scRNA-seq data can be challenging to analyze and...
Date: October 06, 2022 Time: 7:00am (PDT), 10:00am (EDT), 4:00pm (CEST) Confocal microscopy is a very popular imaging technique for high-quality imaging of biological samples, especially in...
Successful cancer patient advocacy has many components. Patients and survivors are in the best position to tell their stories and advocate for better care and treatment. However, with few su...
Mathematical methods can be used to study evolutionary processes associated with carcinogenesis. Selection, mutation, and drift all play a role in cancer dynamics and cancer treatment. I wil...
Gene regulatory networks are representations of the relationship between transcription factors and their target genes. By modeling gene regulatory networks, it is possible to identify change...
Breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer in women. Although many risk factors for breast cancer have been identified, only some are modifiable. Since 2004, incidence rates have been r...
Bromodomains (BRDs) are evolutionarily conserved protein domains that interact with acetylated histones and set off a chain of events that includes recruiting transcription factors and other...
At the global level, mobility is above pre-COVID levels, and mask use is at the lowest level since mid-March 2020. The move away from social distancing combined with the spread of the BA.5 O...
