Western blotting is an important technique for characterizing specific protein targets. Successful western detection is dependent on the quality of protein transfer from polyacrylamide gels t...
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive disease associated with poor outcome. It is expected to be the leading cause of cancer-related death in 2030. The unique microe...
Antibodies have become one of the most important tools in life science research, allowing the detection, quantitation, and determination of changes in proteins and other molecules with respe...
While providing indispensable insight into immune processes, the live cell imaging of immune cells poses unique challenges due to their non-adherent nature. Suspension cells such as immune c...
Although affinity tag methods for protein purification have greatly accelerated research in laboratories throughout the world, the presence of the tag on the purified target can modify the t...
Background and aim: Rapid and complex diagnosis of viral, bacterial and parasitic infections is highly desirable not only in clinical practice, but also in food safety or early warning syste...
To date, the therapeutic use of cannabinoids in chronic pain management remains controversial owing to the limited clinical evidence found in randomized clinical trials (RCTs), the heterogen...
Integrated protocols and live-cell analysis solutions for different 3D tumor modelsIn the search for greater clinical translation, cancer researchers are increasingly turning to more comp...
The forecast IHME released on March 26, 2020, was geared to helping hospitals plan for a surge in demand for their resources (e.g., beds, ICUs, ventilators) to fight COVID-19. With many loca...
Network models are an invaluable tool for integrating multiple data types and for modeling interactions between biological elements. One common question that arises, however, is what to do wi...
Precision medicine and next-generation sequencing – Two terms characterized by a highly dynamic nature, strong innovations and a bright future. Both merged together will exert a decisiv...
Targeted sequencing assays are increasingly used to identify tumor mutations that guide therapeutic decisions. Interpretation of a cancer variant’s origin and therapeutic impact poses a...
Human intestinal epithelial cells (hIECs) are arranged as a monolayer of cells and provide the first line of defense against invading pathogens. Upon viral infection hIECs upregulate type I...
Multiplexed immunofluorescent imaging sheds new light on cancer and other complex conditions. This imaging technique offers a deeper understanding of cells and their surroundings by providin...
Affinity purification, immunoprecipitation, and mass spectrometry analysis are essential tools used in proteomic studies. A successful outcome is facilitated by high-capacity supports, effici...
We use COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and mortality data and a deterministic SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infectious and recovered) compartmental framework to model possible trajectories o...
In examining the potential adoption of the Oncomine Precision Assay, University of Texas Health had several criteria to consider, including the need for highly accurate detection of small sa...
Despite FDA-approved vaccines and antivirals, seasonal and pandemic influenza remains a serious threat associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The present modalities and va...
This lecture will encompass the learning experience I have had over my 14,000 RALP cases. We will present an evidence based prospective data collection and analysis of RALP outcomes. We will...
Over 40 tandem repeats undergo expansion events that lead to neurological disease. This number is likely an underestimate as many repeats are difficult to amplify using existing short read s...
Biopharmaceuticals produced with mammalian cells are the key drivers for the medication of former untreatable diseases. The development of their production processes is still challenging bec...
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...
The ultimate limits of diagnostics in biology are the “quantum” units that convey information, e.g. single nucleic acids, proteins, and cells. Microfluidics has emerged as a power...
The recent development of highly multiplexed methods for imaging tissues from patients and mouse models promises to fundamentally advance research in tissue biology and disease. These new te...
The CRISPR-Cas9 system has proven to be a powerful tool for genome editing allowing for the precise modification of specific DNA sequences within a cell. Many efforts are currently underway t...
Western blotting is an important technique for characterizing specific protein targets. Successful western detection is dependent on the quality of protein transfer from polyacrylamide gels t...
