Do you already heard the hypothesis that metabolic changes in the heart may precede and even trigger structural and functional remodeling?Join us at the upcomming cardiac imaging webinar and learn more.

The company producing Avatar, xCELL biosciences have organized a webinar about the tuning of microenvironment to control cells. The webinar discusses the differences between body´s microenvironments and applications of that knowledge.

Cancer researchers are increasingly turning to more complex live-cell assay systems that recapitulate key aspects of the tumor microenvironment. These include: tissue organization, bio-matrices containing proteins and presence of immune cells.

CD62L (L-selectin) is a key adhesion molecule that promotes cell tethering and rolling along the vascular endothelium in the context of trafficking of lymphocytes into lymph nodes, Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells are highly dependent on it. 

Professor Vande Velde will describe how high-field MRI and low dose microCT complement each other; where microCT gives high contrast in the lungs and MRI allows clear visualization of the brain.

xCELLigence instruments are revolutionizing pure and applied biofilm research. Beyond gains in efficiency, the real-time and label-free xCELLigence assay provides access to information that has been inaccessible using traditional methodologies.

Dr. Schneider will show examples of data from customers who have incorporated pressure along with oxygen to recreate the physiological microenvironment to achieve faster, better, more relevant cells. 

BioFlux biofilm assays can now be performed on the popular catheter material polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).  Silicone rubbers such as PDMS have been used since the 1960's in a variety of medical devices, including catheters and bloodstream.

Regulatory testing for microbiological water quality is often conducted by growing microbes on agar medium in visible colonies. However, this is a time-consuming process and not all bacteria can grow in media and therefore be detected.
