Continuous tracking of melanoma cell invasion helps scientists explain key regulators of metastasis

A team of Italian scientists reported this week that blocking the interaction between urokinase receptor (uPAR) and formyl peptide receptor type 1 (FPR1) suppresses the ability of melanoma cells to migrate, invade through an extracellular matrix, and to burrow through a layer of endothelial cells.

Transformative new approach for viral titer determination using xCELLigence RTCA

Accurate determination of viral titers is critical to vaccine development. Historically, titers have been determined using endpoint assays which are labor-intensive, expensive, and time-consuming. This is increasingly problematic in modern production facilities where bioprocess optimization is performed using high-throughput cell culture reactors that can produce batches of virus faster than they can be analyzed.
