Teach Me in 10

This installment of Teach Me in 10 features Tom Veale, a PhD student at the Dementia Research Centre at the University College of London. In this episode of Teach Me in 10, Veale talks broadly about dementia and Alzheimer's disease, the brain changes that occur and white matter's involvement in Alzheimer's disease.

For several tissue engineering applications biological materials such as collagen sheets, extracellular matrix or decellularized pericard have to be trimmed to a standardized or personalized size and form. This can be performed by mechanical tools, or as an alternative solution, by ultrafast laser cutting, e.g. TissueTrim.

This installment of Team Me in 10 features Dr Christine Metz, a professor at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. Metz is committed to performing research that will advance womens health and is primarily focusing on the gaps in diagnosis and care for patients with endometriosis, a potentially debilitating condition that is characterized by chronic pelvic pain and can lead to infertility if left untreated. 

In this episode of Teach Me in 10, Metz talks about diagnosing and understanding endometriosis using menstrual effluent.

Eardrum perforations are a widespread problem affecting millions worldwide. Current standard of care is invasive, involves harvesting an autologous tissue to patch the eardrum, and often requires to revision surgeries, while hearing outcomes remain unsatisfying. What if we could program the eardrum to repair itself after injury? Researchers at the Wyss Institute, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, and Harvard SEAS have designed a novel easy-to-use device, using biomimetic and biodegradable materials and 3D printing techniques, which functions as a temporary patch that allows native eardrum tissue to grow over it to provide long-lasting tympanic membrane reconstruction.

Presented by SEKISUI XenoTech Technical Support Managers, Drs. Andrew G. Taylor and Chris Bohl Metabolic stability influences the oral bioavailability and plasma half-life of a compound. Metabolic stability assays measure intrinsic clearance and determine the extent to which a drug will be metabolized. This study can be conducted in a variety of test systems, which is why it may also be referred to as a hepatocyte stability study, microsomal stability study, etc. This quick overview video discusses: - Test systems for stability assays - Stability study endpoints - Example data in different species - Considerations for those wanting to conduct stability studies Download slides: https://www.xenotech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/SEKISUI-XenoTech_Metabolic-Stability-ADME-101.pdf Questions, comments and requests: https://www.xenotech.com/contact/ More information on our research services and test systems: https://www.xenotech.com Other previously aired webinars: https://www.xenotech.com/access-adme-research-resources/resource-type/webinar/ Upcoming webinar notifications: https://www.xenotech.com/contact/newsletter-sign-up/ Request a webinar topic: https://www.xenotech.com/contact/webinar-seminar-request/ About the Presenters: Dr. Andrew G. Taylor received his Ph.D. from University of California San Diego. He joined SEKISUI XenoTech as a research scientist in 2017, serving as a Study Director in nonclinical drug interaction contract studies in compliance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), OECD Principles of GLP, &/or Japan MOHW GLP Standards and specializing in drug transport and drug metabolism studies. He became the Technical Support Manager for services in 2020 and provides valuable guidance to ensure research needs are being met. Dr. Chris Bohl received his PhD from the School of Biological Sciences from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln and has been with SEKISUI XenoTech since 2014, first operating as a research scientist before becoming the Senior Manager of Technical Support for Products. Chris provides valuable guidance to scientists seeking to choose the correct test system, troubleshoot difficulties and much more.

ADME 101: Drug Metabolism Studies – Metabolic Stability

It's time for another installment of Teach Me in 10. This week, we're bringing you a two-part series with Dr Erik Procko from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr Procko has been working on engineering a "decoy" receptor for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that has caused the COVID-19 global pandemic. In the first video of this two-part installment, Dr Procko explains exactly what a decoy receptor is, and how this strategy could be adopted in fighting SARS-CoV-2. If you'd like to learn more about Dr Procko's work, you can check out his [url][link]https://mcb.illinois.edu/faculty/profile/procko[/link][name]research page[/name][/url], read this [url][link]https://www.technologynetworks.com/biopharma/articles/can-we-fool-sars-cov-2-with-a-decoy-receptor-for-cell-entry-338385[/link][name]recent interview[/name][/url] with Technology Networks, or take a look at his latest publication in the journal [url][link]https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/08/03/science.abc0870[/link][name]Science[/name][/url].
