From gene cloning and initial clone selection through to final cell evaluation, the continual assessment of cell count and viability is important for determining the best growing and highest...
Combinatorial inhibition of effector and feedback pathways is a promising treatment strategy for KRAS mutant cancers. However, the particular pathways that should be targeted to optimize the...
The selective pressure placed on the resident microbiota by local changes in the host environment – DNA damage, chronic inflammation, metabolic shifts, barrier damage, reduced immunosu...
Tumor phenotypes are dictated not only by the neoplastic cell component, but also by the tumor microenvironment (TME), which is inherently immuno-suppressive, is equipped to hamper effector...
While viral fusion proteins are highly desirable for subunit vaccine generation, their inherent metastable nature complicates implementation and development. We have harnessed the structural...
Regulated laboratories must comply with numerous quality requirements that are put in place by regulatory agencies to ensure that accurate data is being generated and reported. The vast majo...
Influenza viruses represent a significant burden to human health. In order to limit respiratory viral disease, new approaches that can prevent viral infection and spread are needed. We have...
A significant increase in agricultural production is needed to meet the demand for food to feed the expected ~10 billion people by 2050. This increased agricultural output will also require...
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are a formidable malignancy with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Pancreatic cancer and Cholangiocarcinoma are debilitating diseases and carry poor pr...
From data to insight: Explore the full potential of high dimensional data by leveraging machine learning algorithms 1:30–2:00 pm PDT Presented By: Qianjun Zhang, MS Utilizing FCS Expre...
The encapsulated fungus Cryptococcus neoformans is the most common cause of fungal meningitis, with the highest rate of cryptococcosis found in AIDS patients. Despite antifungal treatment, c...
The All of Us (AoU) initiative aims to enhance personalized medical care by sequencing the genomes of over one million Americans of diverse ethnic backgrounds. To improve sequencing accuracy...
The Tumor Microenvironment (TME) is a highly complex niche, with many different cell types characterized by a range of biomarkers. Clever staining protocols like Cycle Immunofluorescence, an...
Inflammatory myopathies are a group of rare diseases that are characterized by progressive muscle weakness due to chronic skeletal muscle inflammation. Classification of these rare diseases...
Over years, HMGB1 has increasingly attracted the attention of all kinds of researchers. It is one of the most intriguing molecules within the complete arsenal of proteins of the innate immun...
As part of Healthy Davis Together, we have implemented rapid, inexpensive, high throughput testing for SARS-Cov-2 using technology repurposed from the agricultural biotechnology sector. This...
Recurrently emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) present increasingly sophisticated immune escape strategies that fuel global infection rates, as exemplified by the raging B.1.1.529...
Flow cytometry is a powerful technology for investigating questions related to the immune response and its sustenance, as well as detailed mechanisms of COVID-19. Simplified cell-based and b...
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for more deaths than colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined. Of patients with NSCLC, 20% initially present with stage I or II disease, for w...
Biomedical researchers are increasingly using advanced human cell models for translational biology and therapeutic discovery studies. These include patient-specific samples, cultured micro-ti...
The Genome in a Bottle Consortium has published benchmarks for variant calling, but some challenging medically-relevant genes have been partially or fully excluded due to mapping challenges,...
Human skin is characterized by a limited number of phyla including, Actinomycetota, Bacillota and Pseudomonadota. In particular, Staphylococcus (Bacillota) and Corynebacterium (Actinomycetot...
