Across well-studied vertebrate models, immune cells first emerge during somitogenesis, well after gastrulation has established the first three embryonic tissues. Our investigation of annual killifish – an emerging model organism adapted to ephemeral ponds that dry seasonally – revealed a striking departure from the conserved developmental timeline of embryonic immune cells. By combining a PIP-Seq…

Standard organoid cultures have transformed disease research — but they still struggle to capture the multi-cell-type architecture that drives disease progression in vivo. What You’ll Learn Join Dr. Meritxell Huch and Didarul Bhuiyan, PhD, as they walk you through two approaches to building better organoid models. Dr. Huch will cover the liver assembloids her team…

This summer, with support from the ASCB COMPASS Outreach Program, STEAMLabs International ran five Tumor Tactics cancer biology workshops across San Diego, reaching 150 students at Deer Canyon Elementary School, Pacific Highlands Ranch Branch Library, and Encanto Elementary School. Every student who attended went home with a free complete Tumor Tactics kit. 95% of students…

In this webinar, we will discuss T-cell receptor (TCR) mapping of antigenic peptides (TCR-MAP), a cell-based method to discover T-cell antigens using a synthetic TCR-stimulated circuit in immortalized T cells. TCRs with unknown specificity are queried against a large, barcoded peptide library displayed on antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Upon TCR recognition of the peptide–MHC complex presented…
