Telepathology in the acute care setting
Posted 19th January 2021 by Nicholas Noakes
Speaking at the 2020 Digital Pathology Congress Liron Pantanowiz reviewed why he thought telepathology is still one of the key applications for digital imaging. In this blog, we report what he had to say about telepathology in an acute care setting and the importance of validation.

BioVox got to speak with Prof. David Masopust, the man who discovered resident memory T cells. His seminal breakthrough opened up a new branch of T cell biology and catapulted the field forwards. Masopust shares his thoughts on the enormous untapped potential of T cells in new treatments and vaccines.
Harvesting the power of the cell’s own protein degradation mechanisms in drug discovery
Posted 21st October 2020 by Joshua Sewell
Constant production of proteins in living cells is subject to strict quality and concentration control. The ubiquitin-protease system (UPS) is one of the systems responsible for degrading misfolded and damaged proteins. Also, short-lived regulatory proteins that control many critical cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, cell proliferation and differentiation, cell signalling and transcription are degraded by UPS.1
