Image-based approaches to single-cell transcriptomics are emerging as powerful complements to single-cell RNA sequencing, in part, because these techniques preserve the native spatial contex...
Structural variants (SVs) are essential in human evolution and genetic disease but remain understudied. This is especially the case for non-Caucasian ethnicities. We report, for the first ti...
Image manipulation scandals and tightening journal guidelines have put traditional Western blots under a spotlight: every manual step—from gel casting to image export—adds variab...
Learning Objectives 1. Identify 3 obstacles that inhibit the immune cell response to cancer. 2. List 3 aspects of T cells antitumor function that can be improved with costimulatory signals....
Interest in cell and gene therapy-based disease prevention and treatment has increased rapidly over the last few decades, however there are still many hurdles to overcome and further progres...
Historically the analysis and study of cannabis and cannabis-related molecules has been challenging because of their collective legal status. With the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, at least...
The NIH put Precision Medicine on the map as a revolutionary way to manage disease, delivering the right treatment, to the right patient, at the right time. But what does Precision Medicine r...
Most currently used conventional influenza vaccines are based on 1940s technology. Advances in immunogen design and vaccine delivery emerging over the last decade open novel opportunities fo...
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: The NMI applies miniaturized multiplex immunoassays for more than two decades. At the NMI commercially available multiplex immunoassays are applied for sample screening as well a...
The goal is to inform the community of the BRAIN Initiative's support for the diversity of species used in neuroscience research. By leveraging advances in genetics and neuroscience tool...
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...
Globally, in 2020, 38 million people were living with HIV with an additional 1.5 million newly infected. During this period, 73% of those living with HIV were accessing antiretroviral therap...
Neuroscience is experiencing an exciting era of integrating novel materials and tools to record neural activity made possible through significant advances in materials science, electrical en...
The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a dramatic toll worldwide. Its impact possibly has been the most palpable amongst uniquely vulnerable groups of patients, such as patients with a cancer diagn...
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...
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) based molecular tests have been the one of the major focus for the expansion of molecular service provided by Haemato-oncology Diagnostic Service (HODS) in R...
In order to realize the benefits of personalized cancer therapy, increasing demands are placed upon clinical laboratories to provide timely, comprehensive, clinically actionable, and analytic...
HIV currently infects almost 40 million people worldwide. The virus is responsible for ~2 million new infections per year and ~1 million deaths. Like all retroviruses, HIV integrates a viral...
Seasonal and pandemic influenza virus infections can cause significant disease worldwide. Current vaccines only provide limited, short-lived protection, and antigenic drift/shift in the hema...
The routine analysis of steroid hormones is critical in understanding the function of metabolic pathways that impact sexual characteristics, inflammation and blood pressure. Liquid Chromatog...
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...
