Nuclear Receptors and Cancer Research: Current Trends and Applications
Nuclear receptors have long been a focus in cancer research. The role of dysregulated nuclear receptor-mediated signaling pathways in tumorigenesis has been well documented in a variety of cancers. This makes nuclear receptors important targets for identifying new therapies to combat cancer. In this webinar, you will learn about cutting edge research from distinguished professors from Penn State University as they talk about the role of specific nuclear receptors in cancer.
Nuclear Receptors and Drug-Drug Interactions: How to Better Understand Potential Toxicity
Drug-drug interactions (DDI) can result in adverse outcomes and lead to hospitalization of the affected person. Watch this webinar to learn about various drug screening assays that are available for identifying potential DDI in vitro. Drug screening assays improve drug safety and allow for the prioritization of drug candidates. PXR and several other important xenobiotic sensing and drug metabolism inducing systems will be described.
Biomonitoring: The Relevance of Bioassays in Water Treatment
Assessing the water quality is essential for evaluating potential risks to our health as well as to the environment. Generally, a series of physicochemical parameters and corresponding maximum permitted concentration values are used to characterize water quality. The current approach for micropollutants is primarily based on chemical analysis of a short list of so-called "priority substances". However, for a wide range of chemicals, there is very little data. Watch this webinar to find out about the strenghts of bioassays for water quality studies.
