Anti-inflammatory Drug Weakens Immune System’s Response to Brain Cancer

By analyzing single-cell and spatial transcriptomic data, scientists from McGill University, the Broad Institute, and elsewhere found evidence that a common anti-swelling drug used in brain cancer cases may suppress the immune system's efforts to combat cancerous cells. + MORE

Lilly Plans to More than Double U.S. Manufacturing Investment Since 2020 Exceeding $50 Billion

Three of the future sites will focus on manufacturing APIs, reshoring capabilities of small molecule chemical synthesis, and strengthening Lilly's supply chain. The fourth location will extend Lilly’s global parenteral manufacturing network for injectable therapies. + MORE

Extreme Heat Accelerates Biological Aging in Older Adults

Research suggests that greater exposure to extreme heat may accelerate epigenetic aging in older adults, raising new concerns about how climate change and heat waves could affect long-term health and aging at the molecular level. + MORE

Microbioreactors Small and Smart, Power More with Less

AGBT Debrief: What's Happening in NGS and Multiomics?

On TODAY's episode of GEN Live, we’ll give you a full AGBT breakdown. Experts from the NGS, single cell, and spatial fields join the show to review and dissect this year’s announcements. We’ll cover the latest research and novel technologies and parse the promises made by various companies—some old, some new. And we’ll explain what it means for the next year in omics. + MORE

Strategies for Successful Integration of Computational and Empirical Data for Protein Drug Discovery

In this GEN webinar, our subject matter experts, Dr. Lee Fader, Dr. Jeremy Dupaul-Chicoine, and Dr. Maximilian Ebert, will provide an overview of current methodologies and technological innovations for harmonizing heterogeneous data streams including molecular dynamics simulations, binding affinity predictions, and experimental validation data to drive breakthroughs in protein therapeutics. + MORE

Harnessing Single-Cell RNA Sequencing to Study Retinal Ganglion Cell Regeneration in Optic Neuropathies

In the first presentation of this GEN webinar, our expert speaker Devansh Agarwal will present results from a study and how the scientists generated RGC-like induced neurons in under a week by combining the pioneer factor NEUROG2 with RGC-specific TFs, and pre-patterning cells via BMP inhibition. + MORE
