Stay informed on developments in cancer and oncology diagnosis, prevention and treatment through these curated webinars. As the race toward a cure for cancer continues, advances in cancer research are constantly revealed as innovation in the field of oncology progresses.
Membrane proteins are the gateway to cells and are involved in many critical functions. Each membrane protein is unique, and their complexity makes it difficult to fit into a standardized ex...
Natural killer cells (NKs) are lymphocytes of the innate immune system that target and kill cancer cells through the secretion of lytic granules containing granzyme B and perforin. This proce...
Multiplex detection of oncogenic mutations using LNA-based assays on the QIAcuity digital PCR system Digital PCR (dPCR) enables specific and sensitive detection of genetic alterations in onc...
RNA sequencing unlocks the mysteries hidden in the transcriptome. Whether your goal is gene expression analysis, gene fusion analysis, SNP analysis or miRNA expression analysis, achieving hig...
Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is an emerging biomarker that correlates with response to immunotherapeutic agents, such as checkpoint inhibitors. Recent studies indicate that a high mutation l...
In order to expand the treatment options of cancers driven by oncogenic RAS, new cell surface targets need to be identified and characterized. Here, we describe mass spectrometry based phenot...
While circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) and to some extend CTCs from blood are routinely used as analyte in liquid biopsy cancer research applications, circulating cell-free RNA (ccfRNA) ha...
The detection of circulating molecular biomarkers is useful for monitoring pathogenic processes and response to therapeutic intervention1,2. In cancer, genomic and proteomic biomarkers are us...
Join us to discover how Aivia AI image analysis software enables you to quickly start your analysis, deploy intuitive AI-powered analysis for accurate detection, and batch process your analy...
Understanding the immune repertoire is an important aspect of immuno-oncology research, which can be used to gather insights into the function and overall status of the immune system. We have...
High-throughput screening is widely useful in identifying genes and pathways that drive changes in cell behavior such as cell cycle regulation, metastasis, and drug resistance. Millipor...
The quest to cure cancer through the manipulation the immune system has been at the forefront of science for the past half-decade. The result has been the emergence of a multitude of promisin...
Immunotherapy: An unprecedented opportunity-Long-lasting/curative treatments-Lower side effects-Wide applicability-Natural mechanism of action-Locally produced T cell therapies&...
A hypoxic tumour microenvironment is a feature of solid tumours. Many tumour types contain high fractions of hypoxic tissue. The relationship between high levels of tumour hypoxia and a poor...
Molecular analyses of cancer biology have tended to segregate between a focus on nucleic acids – DNA, RNA and their modifications – and a focus on proteins and protein function. P...
Background: Growing evidence supports the critical role of preexisting immune response in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, there are limitations with current evaluation approac...
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common bone tumor in pediatric and adolescent/young adult patients. Over the past three decades, significant improvements in the survival rates or therapeutic ap...
The detection of CTCs has been used as useful biomarkers in prognosis and monitoring therapeutic response of patients with metastatic cancer. However, during the course of cancer therapy, CTC...
The deposition and removal of DNA and histone modifications depends on the availability of specific metabolites, suggesting that cellular metabolic pathways may dynamically regulate chromatin...
The oncogenic transcription factor c-MYC (MYC) is deregulated, and often overexpressed, in more than 50% of cancers. MYC deregulation is associated with poor prognosis and aggressive disease,...
Nanopore sequencing has enormous potential for application to cancer, but specifically offers advantages into two main arenas, epigenetics and structural variation. Methylation is well-known...
The detection of circulating molecular biomarkers is useful for monitoring pathogenic processes and response to therapeutic intervention1,2. In cancer, genomic and proteomic biomarkers are us...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a five-year survival rate of only 9%. Acquired drug resistance is a major factor that limits the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Exosomes, secreted...
Recent advances in flow and mass cytometry have greatly expanded the number of immune cell parameters that can be interrogated, resulting in an improved understanding of the immune system het...
Pancreatic tumors are dynamic pseudo-organs that contain numerous cell types interacting to create unique physiology. A typical pancreatic tumor is made up largely of stromal fibroblasts and...
Learning Objectives: 1. To provide an overview of relevant hereditary cancer syndromes 2. To encourage providers to obtain a thorough family history 3. To educate providers about available r...
More and more decisions will center on the ability to molecularly characterize a disease. So the molecular diagnostic laboratory will have a pivotal role. What does that look like? Will we be...
