DATE: June 23, 2020 TIME: 6:00 am PDT, 9:00 am EDT In this webinar for scientists and researchers, Rama Shivakumar, a senior scientist at MaxCyte Inc., will highlight powerful case studies t...
DATE: July 30, 2020 TIME: 10:00am PT Regenerative medicine has become a key focus worldwide and the number of stem cell, especially pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-based clinical trials are rapi...
Over the last decade the cancer research field has seen a number of advances aimed at increasing the efficacy of treatments, reducing toxic side effects, and decreasing attrition rates of dr...
The cytolytic activity of Immune cells toward cancer cells is finely regulated through several pathways and receptors. Although end point assays have been routinely used to measure cell kill...
With the recent successes of immunotherapies, a fresh breeze of optimism in the fight against cancer has reinvigorated the industry. Perhaps the greatest legacy will be the realization of th...
B7-H3 is actively being explored as an immunotherapy target for pediatric patients with solid tumors using monoclonal antibodies or T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). B7-H...
The identification of novel drug targets and the development of next generation therapeutic strategies remain elusive goals for cancer researchers. We believe that the aberrant molecular eve...
The major function of mitochondria in cellular homeostasis has been the generation of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. However, we have previously demonstrated that mitochondria can se...
July 29, 2020 TIME: 9:00am PDT, 12:009m EDT, 6:00pm CEST Hepatitis C infection, once a formidable enemy, is now a curable disease. Dramatic advances in antiviral therapies have launched a ne...
Background: Acute liver injury (ALI) is characterised by hepatocyte death and liver inflammation. Macrophages play a pivotal role in ALI by phagocytosing dead cells and producing pro-regener...
Coordination of immune cell metabolic programs with cell fate and state is a fundamental determinant of immune responses. Emerging evidence highlights that the interplay between immune signa...
Advances in genetic engineering have improved specificity, safety and potency of T-cell receptor (TCR) and Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR-T) based therapies for solid and non-solid tumours....
Current methods to treat malignant brain tumors are highly intrusive, leading to poor quality of life with abysmal patient survival rates. Combined with radiation therapy, first/second-line...
Metabolic reprogramming is critical for governing proper T cell immune responses, including activation, production of effector molecule, migration and differentiation. The metabolic stress T...
In this webinar, Dr. Luke O'Neill will discuss an overview of immunology and immunometabolism in infectious disease. The past 10 years or so has seen a major resurgence of interest in im...
In this webinar, Dr. Yuting Sun discusses her research supporting a Phase 1 clinical trial advancing cancer therapies, targeted at metabolic vulnerabilities. Metabolic rewiring is a hallmark...
Three dimensional (3D) spheroidal cell models have become a mainstay in life science research to provide the most in vivo-like environment. Performing media exchanges and washes with unattac...
Metastasis is the main cause of death in cancer patients and one of the most complex biological processes in human diseases (Hanahan et al., 2011). The development of therapies designed to f...
Mouse models have been essential for establishing the role of the T cells in anti-tumor responses, but they have limited utility in translational studies for the testing of candidate therape...
In this webinar we provide a detailed review of available methods for measuring cell proliferation, with a particular focus on recent assay innovations, including both 2D and 3D formats. Thi...
