Precise protein quantification is a crucial step in workflows involving protein extraction, isolation, and analysis. Accurate knowledge of the concentration of your protein sample is essenti...
Antibodies against ribonucleoprotein (RNP) are an important serologic marker for mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). RNP interacts with Smith (Sm) proteins to form the Sm/RNP complex. An...
Despite the remarkable clinical efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells in hematological malignancies, only a subset of patients achieve a durable complete response. Furthermore,...
Nanovials are emerging as an accessible platform for performing single-cell functional screening leveraging standard instrumentation, such as flow cytometers and microfluidic single-cell seq...
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has been extremely successful in treating relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies, with six CAR T-cell products now FDA approved. Unfortunately...
Throughout history, various approaches including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy have been employed in the fight against cancer. In the 2010s, the emergence of...
Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) is an immunotherapy that employs living immune cells to target and destroy cancer cells. However, the inhibitory tumor microenvironment features several obstacles...
Understanding the spatial organization of the immune response within tumors is crucial for developing effective cancer immunotherapies. In this seminar, we delve into the interactions betwee...
Brain cancer research stands to benefit from the perspectives, tools, and methodologies of non-traditional fields, such as mechanical engineering. Here, I will discuss our engineering-based...

Lateral flow assay applications have become increasingly diverse in a post-pandemic world, and the areas of infectious disease and oncology continue to be at the forefront. In both areas, th...
Assessment for anti-dsDNA antibodies provides some of the most significant challenges in autoantibody serology testing. Anti-dsDNA antibodies are an important biomarker for systemic lupus er...
It is over half a century since haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was recognised by medical professionals; the importance of HbA1c to the long term health of people with diabetes was clearly demonstra...
Learning Objectives: 1. Explain how obesity impacts the survival of pediatric patients with specific subtypes of leukemia. 2. Describe how obesity impacts T-cell function in pediatric popula...
The tumor-associated microbiota is an inherent component of the tumor microenvironment across various human cancer types1. Although members of tumor-associated microbiomes can be identified...
Over the past 10 years, we have come to a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of men who succumb to prostate cancer. One critical aspect is the role of molecular drivers in patients wi...
Conventional imaging studies such as ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are increasingly detecting small renal masses, which are interpreted by radiologists as h...
Natural killer (NK) cells, immune cells with an innate ability to recognize and eliminate cancer cells, have emerged as attractive effectors in immunotherapy, owing in large part to their ab...
As the opioid epidemic continues to claim lives and devastate families across the nation and world, we recognize September 21, 2023 as opioid awareness day. Opioids are analgesics with high...
Success stories in the field of cell therapies are making headlines on a daily basis. These achievements involve complex manufacturing processes in which cytokines play a key role. Choosing...
In the United States, over 40,000 transplantations are performed annually. Ensuring post-transplant success requires diligent monitoring of infectious diseases that are associated with a wid...
