Specific Bacterial Strains are Linked to Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Rapid advances in computational and genetic tools have allowed researchers to delve into the mystery that is the human gut microbiome. There are trillions of microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract that are intimately connected to various aspects of our ...

Chickenpox Virus Gets an Unusual Boost From the Immune System

Many of us experienced chickenpox as kids. The illness, which typically causes fever, headache, appetite loss, and an itchy, bumpy, red rash, is caused by Varicella zoster virus (VZV). Even though we usually get over that rash within about ten days without medical intervention, the virus is not completely ...

AI Model Estimates Lung Function from Chest X-Rays

How can artificial intelligence (AI) contribute to the healthcare industry? This is what a recent study published in The Lancet Digital Health hopes to address as a team of researchers from Japan investigated how AI could be used to analyze radiographs, commonly known as x-rays, for determining if a ...

A Gene Editor to Correct a Common Cystic Fibrosis Mutation

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common genetic disorders that has been well studied. Researchers have identified CF-causing mutations in a gene called CFTR, which encodes for an ion channel. The genetic mutations disrupt the ion channel., leading to the accumulation of thick mucus in the lungs and other areas. This ...

Rare Cells Associated with Immune Disorders

The immune system’s primary responsibility is to recognize and target invading pathogens. Various immune cells are orchestrated to carry out this responsibility. Additionally, these cells are organized into two different arms of the immune system: innate and adaptive. The innate immune system responds in a ...

Maximize your cell health assays data acquisition with latest tools in cancer research

Nicholas Chia - Technical Sales Specialist, Protein & Cell Analysis, SEATW, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Singapore

Edmund Wee - Asia Pacific & Japan Technical Sales Specialist, Protein & Cell Analysis, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Singapore

Cell health assessment is the foundation in cancer drug discovery. Potential cancer drug candidates need to show anti-cancer activity such as inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis to cancer cells. In this two-part seminar, we will first highlight key cell proliferation and apoptosis assays compatible with our latest multimode microplate reader. After which, using CellEvent™ ...

How can clinicians use spatial transcriptomics data to interpret the complexity of tumor microenvironment?

Kwon Joong Na - Chief Medical Officer, Portrai

Spatial transcriptomics offers a revolutionary approach to understanding the tumor microenvironment (TME) in solid tumors by preserving the spatial context of gene expression, which is crucial for comprehending the interactions between various cell types, such as cancer cells, immune cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. By integrating high-throughput sequencing and imaging technologies ...
