How can labs increase their sample throughput and pipetting accuracy and reproducibility without investing in an expensive automated liquid handler? Electronic pipettes are a cost-effective...
De novo gene synthesis and protein expression are established technologies that can give access to nearly any target DNA or protein sequence, allowing for engineering of biologics. In this p...
mRNA‑based products are rapidly growing in the biotherapeutics space. Important considerations need to be made to develop a process for mRNA synthesis that consistently generates high‑yield...
Surface plasmon resonance is a real-time and label-free technique that offers low sample consumption and high throughput when compared to other biophysical techniques and has been widely ado...
Background and aim: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are vital membrane proteins involved in cellular and physiological processes, including sensory perception, signaling, neurotransmissi...
Traditional liver perfusion procedures – used to isolate hepatocytes – are difficult to perform and require extensive training, steady hands and long-standing experience. In this...
Interoceptive signals dynamically interact with the environment to shape appropriate defensive behaviors. Neurons in the hypothalamus regulate internal states, such as thirst and circadian r...
This presentation explores the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of β-lactam antibiotic dosing, particularly in ICU patients. To optimize PK/PD targets, two strategies are...
Multiplex immunofluorescence is a powerful tool for phenotyping cells from a single tissue slide, while preserving spatial context. The MultiOmyxTM platform, offered as an end to end service...
Advancements in the field of drug discovery and chemical development have necessitated the integration of computer-assisted technologies to expedite processes, uncover efficiencies, and fost...
The cancer drug discovery landscape is shifting. While research continues to grow in cost and complexity, the pace of development has never been faster. Biopharmaceutical companies can&rsquo...
Spatial analysis of protein or gene expression is vital to understanding the distribution, phenotypes, and interactions between cells within tumor microenvironment (TME). Traditionally, mult...
Current cancer research is hindered by the limitations of existing experimental systems, which fall short in demonstrating concordance with human studies. In this way, we aim to develop mode...
The study of a single cell, the fundamental unit of our complex bodies, has become an important field in cellular biology, and researchers are using single-cell analysis to shed new light on...
Central Nervous System (CNS) therapies have significantly progressed in the last decade, propelled by emerging treatment modalities including gene therapies. Neurological indications remain...
NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) is a global epidemic that affects 25% of the world’s population, with its epicentre in the West. Twenty percent of NAFLD patients go on to dev...
Learning Objectives: 1. Summarize the benefits and challenges of current preclinical methods in drug discovery and development. 2. Review new alternative methodologies (NAMs) and microphysio...
Proliferation biomarkers are proteins that are up-regulated in growing cells. Immunological staining of tumor tissue can provide an indication of the aggressivity of the tumor and provide in...
Globally there has been a constant rise in the population suffering from cardiovascular diseases mostly due to metabolic complications. We have made use of two high throughput omics-based ap...
Diosgenin is a botanical steroidal saponin with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-thrombotic, anti- apoptotic, anti-depressant, and anti-nociceptive properties. However, it's unknown...
Across many cancers, mortality is associated with metastasis and acquired drug resistance, both of which often manifest in recurrent disease. Central to these phenomena is epithelial to mese...
Macrophages can mediate phagocytosis of cancer cells and cytotoxic tumor killing, and engage in effective bidirectional interactions with components of the innate and adaptive immune system....
Women experience a variety of unique sexual health issues that are often under appreciated by the general public and even by healthcare providers. Compared to other populations, cisgender wo...
Learning Objectives Identify three ways automation improves cryosectioning techniques Demonstrate three essential elements to obtaining reproducible, high-quality sections with cryosectionin...
Invasive candidiasis and candidemia are associated with a high rate of patient morbidity and mortality, but earlier initiation of antifungal therapy can significantly improve patient outcome...
