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. 

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.

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. 

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.

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.
