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...
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...
Affinity purification, immunoprecipitation, and mass spectrometry analysis are essential tools used in proteomic studies. A successful outcome is facilitated by high-capacity supports, effici...
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...
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...
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) and lentiviral vectors (LV) are vehicles for direct delivery of therapeutic genes to patients' cells. In the coming years, the use of AAV and LV...
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...
There are many methods of nucleic acid isolation. Each technology offers different approaches of purification of the template. However, it is important to control carry over of “proces...
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 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...
RNA plays important and diverse roles in biology, but molecular tools to manipulate and measure RNA are limited. We demonstrate that RNA-targeting CRISPR effector Cas13 can be engineered for...
Brain wave synchronization, also called neuronal coherence, is a fundamental mechanism of communication in the brain, where synchronized field potentials coordinate synaptic and spiking even...
Diagnosis, prognostication, and monitoring of child health relies on laboratory testing, including but not limited to key markers of thyroid, hepatic, cardiac, hematology, and renal function...
Millions of people around the world are sickened or killed due to food or waterborne pathogens. The efficiency of sample processing, testing, analyst......
The use of biologic-based therapeutics has revolutionized our ability to treat complex diseases such as cancer- and autoimmune-related disorders. Biologic-based therapeutics are known to gen...
Despite FDA-approved vaccines and antivirals, seasonal and pandemic influenza remains a serious threat associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The present modalities and vaccine...
Stable cell lines are critical tools of cellular assays in drug discovery and development. Over-expressing cell lines are needed to screen for hits, while functional cell lines are needed fo...
In this talk, we will discuss the nuts and bolts of the novel continuous-time neural network models: Liquid Time-Constant Networks (LTCs). Liquid neural networks are nonlinear state-space mo...
Due to the rapid emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, molecular diagnostic technologies have expanded significantly. Although several diagnostic approaches were developed, real-time reverse tr...
If you have ever worked in the field of gene-editing, then you must know the powerful gene-editing technology known as CRISPR. It has the potential to alter science and biotechnology at an i...
The quest for alternatives to animal safety testing has fueled the development, characterization, and validation of many new technologies. There have been advances in cell and tissue models...
Introducing the new CytoScan HD Accel microarray that significantly improves the power and speed of genome-wide copy number analysis using industry-leading Chromosomal Microarray (CMA). The...
To reduce the global burden diseases causes by infectious disease, including parasites and bacteria, scientists need better information about mechanisms of virulence, immune evasion, and drug...
Viral Vector gene therapy has been the focus of intense research driven by the safety profile and several clinical breakthroughs. As of March 2022, there are two viral vector gene therapies...
Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and delayed implementation of diagnostics have led to poorly defined viral prevalence rates. To address this, we analyzed seropositivity in US adults who ha...
Activating mutations in PIK3CA are frequent in human breast cancer, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase alpha (PI3Kα) inhibitors have been approved for therapy. To characterize determinants...
