Learn about the latest medical breakthroughs by participating in webinars on topics surrounding disease, prevention and treatment in accordance with the latest research in health and medicine. Updates encompass a biological, psychological and sociological understanding of health.
In 2013, a separate diagnosis of PTSD was introduced into the DSM-V to mitigate the well-known issue of accurately differentiating between PSTD and other psychiatric disorders. In addition t...
While transformative, first-generation CRISPR technologies remain limited across multiple important dimensions including scalability, editing efficiency, types of modifications available, an...
Like any other agricultural crop, pesticides are applied to hemp plants to protect it from pests and improve growth yield. Chronic exposure to pesticides can lead to serious health risks and...
Anchored Protein Kinase-A (PKA) bound to A-Kinase Anchoring Protein (AKAP) mediates the effects of localized increases in cAMP in defined subcellular microdomains and retains the specificity...
Flaviviruses are pathogens of global public health concern. They include dengue virus (DENV), West Nile virus (WNV), and zika virus (ZIKV). There are no approved US Food and Drug Administrat...
Creating inducible Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) collections of rare patients scattered world-wide can lower the barrier of biological discovery of rare disease, provide a platform for potenti...
Robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) has increasingly been applied to the treatment of small renal masses. Because of space limitations and the size of the robot at the patient side, the standa...
Learning Objectives: 1. List types of sequencing and genomics methods. 2. List several methods for epigenome engineering. 3. Describe the genomic changes that occur in a spacecraft and in ast...
Several age-related neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by the deposition of aberrantly folded proteins. The histopathological hallmark of synucleinopathies is the deposition of ɑ-...
Phosphorylation of α-synuclein at the Serine-129 site (α-syn Ser129P) is an established pathologic hallmark of synucleinopathies and a therapeutic target. In physiologic states,...
Rates of mental health disorders have risen globally in the past two years. The term "mental health crisis" has been widely used and a sense of urgency has been present in health c...
Metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) is a phenotypically diverse disease with poor responses to immune based therapeutics. Development of immunotherapeutic strategies for mPC is hampered by the...
Bridging a deep understanding of molecular profiles with clinical information is critical to developing innovative precision medicine tools in oncology. Discovery’s recently launched S...
This presentation explores the role of microorganisms in the engineered barrier system of a deep geological repository (DGR) for used nuclear fuel, with a focus on bentonite clay and surroun...
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a molecularly and clinically heterogeneous hematological malignancy. Despite recent advancements in the treatment of AML, approximately 50% of pat...
The scale-up and characterization of industrial bioprocesses is to a large extent still based on empirical knowledge. With advanced algorithms and graphic processing units in the computation...
Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer, characterized by the characteristic lack of receptors such as human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), t...
Current drug discovery workflows are inefficient. 90% of therapeutic agents reaching clinical trials fail, predominantly because traditional laboratory experiments fail to adequately predict...
The size and burden of mental illness should ideally prompt a strategy of preemption and early intervention. On the neuroscientific side, this leads to the question of brain mechanisms of ris...
Precision medicine and next-generation sequencing – Two terms characterized by a highly dynamic nature, strong innovations and a bright future. Both merged together will exert a decisiv...
Learning Objectives: 1. Explore the neuroinvasive potential of SARS-CoV-2 2. Learn about possible consequences of neuroinvasion of SARS-CoV-2 3. Identify neuroimmune responses against SARS-C...
We use COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and mortality data and a deterministic SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infectious and recovered) compartmental framework to model possible trajectories o...
The quest for alternatives to animal safety testing has fueled the development, characterization, and validation of many new technologies. There have been advances in cell and tissue models...
Alongside intense efforts to exploit T-cells as immunotherapies for cancer (e.g. checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T, T-cell metabolism), researchers are increasingly considering other immune cell t...
Western blotting is an important technique for characterizing specific protein targets. Successful western detection is dependent on the quality of protein transfer from polyacrylamide gels t...
In 2013, a separate diagnosis of PTSD was introduced into the DSM-V to mitigate the well-known issue of accurately differentiating between PSTD and other psychiatric disorders. In addition t...
