In this symposium, Jennifer Munson from Virginia Tech, Adrienne Boire from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Robert Insall from UCL, and Jean-François Côté from Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal (IRCM) will discuss cellular mechanisms of metastasis, including tumor microenvironments, cell migration, anti-tumor immunity, and cytoskeletal dynamics.

A point mutation in a calcium channel exon prevents its proper function causing Timothy syndrome, a neurological disorder. In a new study recently published in Nature, Sergiu P. Pașca and his team at Stanford University used antisense oligonucleotides to return proper function to the cell. “Within a few days, you almost have only RNA that does not carry that mutation,” Pasca said. “That has immediate consequences on the physiology of the cells.” https://ow.ly/ttzO50RpiJp

“Should we build a startup?” may be the academic equivalent to “Should we start a band?” But what does this look like for a university scientist? Hashim Al-Hashimi, a biophysicist at Columbia University and cofounder of Base4, shared his experience. Find out in this Beyond the Bench story: https://ow.ly/2GTJ50R8zyP

With the advent of microfluidics-based real-time PCR (RT-PCR) systems, researchers can run thousands of reactions on just one microfluidic chip. In addition to this scalability, these devices streamline genomic analyses through automation and multiplex capabilities. Download this ebook from Standard BioTools to learn about microfluidics-based RT-PCR in genomics-driven fields, including pharmacogenomics, automating RT-PCR, singleplex versus multiplex RT-PCR reactions, and researchers’ perspectives on using microfluidics-based devices in genomics research. #AD https://ow.ly/sFsC50Rjlyz

Join us on May 15th, 2024 @ 2:30PM ET! Life sciences researchers need a host of tools to develop and test critical disease-treating drugs and therapies, from basic research to final product release. Primary cells, media, and reagents are all important in supporting preclinical and clinical pharmaceutical workflows for drug discovery and ADMET for better understanding the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of new compounds. In this webinar brought to you by Lonza, Kevin Grady and Manisha Nautiyal, PhD will review how primary human cells and optimized media systems can be the building blocks for developing advanced models for examining drug toxicity.
