eBriefing
Organizers: Anthony Atala (Wake Forest University), Stacie Bloom (New York Academy of Sciences), Yilin Cao (Shanghai Jiao Tong University), Anita Chong (The University of Chicago), Stefanie Dimmeler (University of Frankfurt), Michael P. Sheetz (Columbia University), Qiming Zhan (Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences), Alex Zhang (Sanofi Aventis), Chunhua Zhao (Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences)
A recent international conference in Beijing focused on exciting developments in fields like stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and xenotransplantation. A new eBriefing documents the event.
eBriefing
Speakers: Jeanne Loring (The Scripps Research Institute), Raju Chaganti (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), Ihor Lemischka (Mount Sinai School of Medicine)
Researchers are using high-throughput techniques to determine how gene expression and epigenetic states affect pluripotency. As this new eBriefing reports, this profiling has identified some key features of stem cells.
eBriefing
Speakers: John Porco (Boston University), R. Kip Guy (St. Jude Children's Research Hospital), and Daniel A. Erlanson (Carmot Therapeutics, Inc.)
The search for chemicals that will serve as drugs and research tools is unrelenting. Three scientists discuss innovative approaches to meeting this need.
eBriefing
Speakers: Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz (NIH), Maribel Vazquez (City College, CUNY), and Charles Humphrey (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
The black box of the cell is becoming increasingly transparent as scientists use fluorescent tags, microfluidic systems, and electron microscopy to reveal its structures and functions.
eBriefing
Speakers: David Bearss (SuperGen), Randall Peterson (Massachusetts General Hospital), Thomas Chan (ArQule), and Richard Friesner (Columbia University)
In vitro screens for drug candidates have yielded relatively few drugs. Computer modeling and zebrafish genetics represent two alternative approaches.
