An anesthesia system designed to accommodate the physiological characteristics of small animals, including rats and mice, has the potential to provide great practical value to the life scienc...
Many researchers are not aware of the critical importance of genetic background of mice, including the concept of inbred substrains, and how the genetic background of substrains can impact th...
Laboratory animal surgical models are instrumental in biomedical research; therefore establishing healthy defined animal models is crucial to this research. Surgical procedures produce metab...
The field of surgical research has been growing rapidly with the development of new surgical and disease models. An extremely important and often overlooked aspect of creating these models is...
In Chile, the regulatory context regarding animal use in research is very poor. A legal framework for Animal Care and Use Committees is practically nonexistent. Also, the chilean culture play...
It is the often-ignored simple tips in rodent surgery that make the difference and help minimize postoperative complications and mortality. The presenter will use his years of experience to...
Some commonly accepted principles of biosafety include the strict adherence to standard laboratory practices and techniques, the use of safety equipment such as primary barriers and personal...
The transportation of laboratory animals is a critical step in obtaining the proper strain of animal that best fits the researchers needs. Animal Extremist groups have made this transportati...
During my presentation, we will discuss:- Normal patterns of behavior (repertoire): social, food intake, territorial, agonistic, anti-predation, sleep and rest, play behavior, grooming, sex...
Soiled-bedding sentinels are not always efficient in detecting pathogens in rodent colonies. In this context, PCR-based testing can be more sensitive and is being advocated as adjunct to trad...
Adherence to strict aseptic technique is vital to all types of animal models requiring surgical intervention from both scientific and welfare perspectives. Training of both new and experience...
Drug developers are rapidly adopting three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures for drug screening since they provide a more physiologically relevant environment than two-dimensional cell cultures ...
Formalin Fixed, Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tissues are rapidly being adopted for transcriptome analysis in conjunction with targeted and whole genome sequencing. Harsh formaldehyde fixation an...
Advances in stem cell biology have raised great expectations that diseases of the central nervous system may be ameliorated by the development of non-haematopoietic stem cell medicines. Yet,...
In this presentation we will illustrate the advantages of AFA technology in clinically significant applications (NGS, FFPE, ChIP) and will demonstrate the flexibility of Covaris AFA in deliv...
Single-cell analysis is one of the most rapidly growing fields in biomedical research that is significantly expanding our understanding on the biologic characteristics of various diseases. F...
Statins are among the most commonly prescribed medications that significantly reduce cardiovascular risk in selected individuals. However, these drugs can also be associated with muscle symp...
Contemporary serologic testing has revolutionized the field of celiac disease. Highly accurate serologic assays have shown the prevalence of celiac disease to be nearly 1:100 in many populat...
Dr. Oliver Kepp will be presenting on:Immunogenic cell death fingerprinting utilizing a high-throughput screening approachThe strategy of immunogenic cell death fingerprinting has been design...
Sedimentation velocity (SV) experiments on dispersed nanoparticles are a powerful method for determining otherwise hard to evaluate properties of the nanoparticle such as the...
Created specifically for busy laboratory professionals, this online course includes examples from current laboratory best practices and offers real-world, tangible knowledge that ca...
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based profiling of clinical specimens has been increasingly used in cancer research to characterize changes in protein expression between tumor and healthy tissue or be...
Oncogenic mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) or 2 (IDH2) compromise their normal activity and induce NADPH-dependent (D)2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) production within the cytosol or m...
Structural pathways are important. They are essential to the understanding of how oncogenic mutations work and to figuring out alternative parallel pathways in drug resistant mutants. Structu...
Advances in genomic research have led to identification of the majority of the drivers of tumor progression. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms propelling tumor growth is...
It has become widely accepted that the presence of intraepithelial CD8+ T cell correlate with improved patient survival. In contrast, tumors largely devoid of immune infiltrations or infiltra...
