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.

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.

Cancer immunotherapies harness and enhance the innate power of the immune system to eliminate cancer cells and have been highly successful in the clinic in recent years. Common in vitro assays used to evaluate immune cell killing are endpoint assay

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.

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.
