SUMMARY:Axion: RESTORING FRAGILE X FUNCTION WITH GENE EDITING
DESCRIPTION:Fragile X syndrome is the most prevalent genetic form of intellectual disability with an incidence of one in 4\,000. Patients with Fragile X syndrome display a broad spectrum of autistic phenotypes that range from mild to severe intellectual\, social\, and reasoning deficits. This disorder stems from the loss of the Fragile X mental retardation protein\, FMRP\, an RNA binding protein which is essential for synaptic function. Currently\, there is no cure or treatment for Fragile X syndrome due in part to the complexity in the Fragile X syndrome neuronal circuitry. \nIn this Coffee Break Webinar\, Dr. John Graef (Fulcrum Therapeutics) demonstrates how using CRISPR gene-editing and patient-derived cells Fulcrum can create the Fragile X syndrome phenotype in a dish. Moreover\, this approach has enabled an estimate of the level of FMRP protein expression required to correct the observed Fragile X syndrome phenotype. \nWatch On Demand

SUMMARY:Qiagen: miRNA qPCR for Challenging Samples
DESCRIPTION:MicroRNAs (miRNAs)\, small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression\, hold incredible promise as minimally invasive biomarkers for use in the diagnosis and prognosis of a wide range of diseases and biological processes. miRNAs are transported in body fluids within exosomes\, thus making them ideal biomarkers due to their stability and the ease with which they can be obtained. However\, special challenges exist for miRNA analysis\, including the short length of miRNAs\, their divergent sequences and variable GC content\, as well as a their low abundance in biofluids. Nonetheless\, the stable nature of miRNAs makes these short 21-23 nt molecules ideal for use as biomarkers of cancer and disease states. A highly sensitive\, specific\, and accurate analysis method that allows linear detection of miRNA even at very low concentrations is\, therefore\, essential for their study. \nThis webinar discusses the important considerations of miRNA analysis when working with challenging sample types. Use of Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA®) technology is proving instrumental for success in these situations. Discover how LNA® technology\, an integral part of the miRCURY LNA miRNA PCR System\, deals with challenging clinical biofluid samples and learn about the importance of quality control and data analysis in your PCR experiment. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Axion: SCREENING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS WITH A HUMAN BRAIN IN A DISH MODEL
DESCRIPTION:In our daily lives we are exposed to thousands of commercially used chemicals. Many of these chemicals are not toxic at typical exposure levels\, but for thousands of chemicals\, toxicological information is lacking. The National Academy of Sciences report on ‘‘Toxicity testing in the 21st century’’ highlighted the need for efficient methods to screen chemicals (e.g. insecticides) for their potential to cause toxicity. \nWhen screening compounds for the potential to disrupt the nervous system\, measuring neural activity is crucial\, since many neurotoxins are known to disrupt ion channel\, and receptor activity in the absence of other biochemical or structural changes to the cell. In this Coffee Break Webinar\, Dr Lorena Saavedra (NeuCyte) discusses how measuring compound-induced changes to the spontaneous firing activity of human stem cell-derived neural cells in an MEA assay helped detect potentially harmful neurological side effects of compounds such as pyrethroid insecticides. \nWatch On Demand

SUMMARY:Axion: PRECISION MEDICINE - EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE OF THE BURNING MAN
DESCRIPTION:“Man on Fire” syndrome\, also known as Inherited Erythromelalgia (IEM)\, is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by burning pain in the hands and feet. The chronic pain of most patients with IEM cannot be relieved by common pain killers making this disease a major unmet medical need. \nPrecision Medicine is an approach that tailors the prescribed medical treatment to the individual’s genetic makeup. In this Coffee Break Webinar\, Dr Yang Yang (Purdue University) discusses advances in the treatment of IEM using a pharmacogenomic approach. The drug responsiveness of different genetic mutations associated with IEM were probed in an in vitro Maestro MEA assay\, with the results helping to predict the effective treatment of these IEM patients in the clinic. \nThis precision medicine approach\, guided by genomic analysis and functional profiling\, provides a promising new way to extinguish the fire of the burning man. \nWatch On Demand

SUMMARY:Essen BioScience: Quantitative Live-Cell Analysis of Human iPSC-derived Neurons
DESCRIPTION:Optimization of culture conditions and evaluation of cell health \nWatch Recording On Demand \nA major limitation in studying human diseases affecting the nervous system is the ability to culture\, monitor and analyze neuronal cells that accurately represent human phenotypes of these disorders. The use of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons has provided a new approach aimed at modeling neurological diseases. Monitoring neuronal morphology and cell health in long-term culture is critical for the characterization and evaluation of these novel model systems. Traditional approaches rely on endpoint assays and imaging techniques that require immunochemical staining\, which provide limited real-time kinetic information. In this webinar\, we highlight optimal culture conditions and demonstrate the ability of the IncuCyte S3® approach for real-time\, long-term quantitative analysis of iPSC-derived neuronal cell health. \nWatch this webinar to learn how:  \n\nYou can easily optimize culture conditions for (hiPSC)-derived neurons\nReal-time live-cell analysis using phase (monoculture) or fluorescent (co-culture) NeuroTrack software can be used to visualize and quantify neurite dynamics\nOther live-cell phenotypic assays (e.g. apoptosis) are used to monitor neuronal cell health and validate mechanisms of action\n\nSpeaker: Aaron Overland | Senior Application Scientist\, Essen BioScience \nAaron joined Essen BioScience as a Senior Application Scientist in September of 2016 and is leading projects focused on developing new reagents and applications for live cell analysis of neuronal health and function using the IncuCyte system. Aaron earned his BS and PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Minnesota\, where he investigated cellular signaling mechanisms mediating analgesic synergy between agonists acting at delta-opioid and alpha2-adrenergic receptors in the spinal cord. His postdoctoral work at University of California\, San Diego expanded upon his foundation in cell-based assays of G protein-coupled receptor signaling\, focusing on the discovery of a novel signaling module for G protein-mediated transactivation of EFGR in cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts.
