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.
How often are you asked what you do and when you start to explain you see the person you are talking to start to twitch, their eyes glaze over and they are desperately trying not to check the...
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and their derivatives are increasingly being used in industry to gain a competitive edge in drug discovery and a new wave of biotechnology start-up compan...
The identity of somatic and pluripotent cells can be epigenetically reprogrammed and forced to adapt a new functional cell state by different methods and distinct combinations of exogenous fa...
Regenerative medicine therapeutics aimed at restoring normal cell function due to trauma and disease are gaining increasing momentum in clinical trials. For this purpose, lentivirus-based gen...
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...
Pluripotent stem cell (PSC) culture at commercial scale requires a shift from the current manual processing methods and costly materials to deliver affordable differentiated cell products in...
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...
The continuous generation of blood cells throughout life relies on the existence of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) generated during embryogenesis. Given the importance of HSC transplantation...
There are a number of free and independent scholarly publishing tools available that save journal authors time and ensure research is found, read and tracked. In this talk, we will explore th...
Current methods for human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) derivation, expansion and differentiation can be limited in scalability and costly (due to their labor intensive nature). This...
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...
The human inner ear contains ~75,000 sensory hair cells that detect sound or movement via mechanosensitive hair bundles and transmit signals to the brain via specialized sensory neurons. Inne...
Therapeutic application of pluripotent stem (PS) cell-derived products represents the ultimate goal of stem cell research. In order to apply this technology to patients, it is fundamental to ...
Mitochondrial defects represent a common pathogenetic mechanism associated with neurodegeneration. At the same time, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations frequently cause neurological diseases...
Diabetes is a debilitating chronic disease that is spirally out of control. Fundamentally, the progressive failure of pancreatic beta cells results in decreased insulin secretion, ultimately ...
Research on human brain development and neurological diseases is limited by the lack of advanced experimental in vitro models that truly recapitulate the complexity of the human brain. Here, ...
For many decades, cell lines have been cultured in standard CO2 incubators at “normal” atmospheric oxygen concentrations of about 21%. But oxygen concentrations in the human or an...
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...
The discovery of the CRISPR/Cas9 system has transformed research and now allows straightforward alterations in the genome and can be exploited to introduce changes to mimic diseases. This pre...
For optimal use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) it is essential to identify lines that are fully reprogrammed and of high quality with proven pluripotency in terms of differe...
Thinking about a starting a job search? Join us to listen to some tips to help you prepare for starting a successful career/job search. Topics covered: Resume Writing tips, Preparing fo...
The development of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing platform enables the rapid generation of new genetically modified stem cell models of human diseases, as well as providing new potential therap...
As reprogramming methodologies have become more reliable and efficient, corresponding improvements were needed in the characterization workflow as well; specifically in terms of the speed, ef...
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...
Since 1993, Gibco™ B-27™ Supplement and Neurobasal™ Medium has been the trusted standard for a variety of neuronal culture applications, with citations in more than 11,000 p...
Disease-specific human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) represent a new chance to unravel cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurological diseases. Along this line, we were among the first to...
DATE: June 29, 2017TIME: 7:00am PDT, 10:00am EDT, 4:00pm CESTThe first human cell line HeLa established in 1951 has entered cell culture labs worldwide. It took 20 years until the...
