Advances in cell and molecular biology have catapulted our understanding of the science of life from the basic understanding of how cells and the components of cells interact within living organisms. Remain up to date on recent discoveries and revelations through these webinars.
Holotomography (HT) uses laser interferometry to measure 3-D refractive index (RI) distribution. HT serves as a powerful tool for imaging small transparent objects, such as biological cells a...
Early detection is critical for improved survival in melanoma. Melanocytic nevi are extremely common benign tumors that mimic melanoma and are therefore commonly biopsied. Currently, the dete...
Creating inducible Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) collections of rare patients scattered world-wide can lower the barrier of biological discovery of rare disease, provide a platform for potenti...
CRISPR-Cas9 systems provide a platform for high efficiency genome editing that are enabling innovative applications of mammalian cell engineering. The delivery of Cas9 plasmid DNA or mR...
Cellular processes are orchestrated by a large number of biomolecules in a spatially and temporally coordinated manner within a tiny volume. To uncover the underlying organizational principle...
To enhance productivity in research laboratories conducting genomic studies, automation techniques along with rapid workflows are encouraged. Here, we discuss gene expression analysis by rev...
Demand for high-value biologics, a rapidly growing pipeline, and pressure from competition, time-to-market and regulators, necessitate novel biomanufacturing approaches, including Quality by...
CRISPR-Cas9 based gene editing is a powerful tool which can induce heritable mutations at desired genomic loci without leaving transgenic trace in plants. Here we constructed a robust, multip...
Over the last decade, the policy and regulatory trajectory of genomic and reproductive technologies has been a checkered one. Approaches around the world range from constitutional and crimina...
Ductal cells share several markers with pancreatic embryonic progenitors, suggesting that ductal cells could be the closest lineage to an adult progenitor in the pancreas, thus their stem-lik...
Finding a job is a daunting and stressful process. Although technology has made the job find and application process much easier – but it also brings new challenges with how to manage t...
One would think that getting the diagnosis after fifteen years would end the journey. How does your work at the bench affect patients and how can you change lives through cell therapy? ...
Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the major staple food crops grown in over 140 countries in the subtropics and tropics with annual global production of around 148 million metric, feeding about 50...
Bioflavonoids are dietary agents found in everyday food items such as fruits, vegetables, and legumes. It has been suggested that bioflavonoids be used with chemotherapeutics as an anti-cance...
Contractile non-muscle cells, including smooth muscle and myoepithelial cells, provide the mechanical forces required for tissue homeostasis in numerous organ systems. For example, smooth mus...
Since the establishment of reverse genetics techniques to manipulate the influenza virus genome, it has been possible to study viral molecular signatures responsible for virulence, and the ge...
Current methods for in vitro diagnosis of autoimmune diseases (ADs) are mainly based on the detection of circulating autoantibodies using specific AD autoantigens. A high-quality recombinant...
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 enteric nervous system (ENS) plays an essential role in gut motility. Diseases of the ENS result in bowel motility disorders that are some of the most challenging clinical conditions to m...
CRISPR/Cas9 technology has become very popular in the last 5 years and has profoundly changed our way to do genetically engineered animals. I will present the latest development in genome edi...
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...
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...
Cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as well as engineered heart muscles offer great potential for regenerative applications by CM transplantation, f...
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 manipulation of the genome to study disease, evaluate drug targets and to stratify patient populations is now a widely accepted concept in the field. At Horizon Discovery, genome engineer...
This presentation provides a brief introduction to biotech entrepreneurship including factors that are pertinent to biotech entrepreneurship and different myths and facts that exist. You will...
In the last years, progress has been made regarding the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into neural stem cells and astrocytes, growing into neurospheres and cerebral organoids...
