Project description:We introduced a single-cell proteome microfluidic platform, integrating cell capture, lysis, protein reduction, alkylation and online digestion. The online enzymolysis facilitated the fast, efficient and all-in-one proteomic sample preparation, providing wide dynamic range and enhanced coverage of proteins.
Project description:Identification of a novel bile marker Clusterin and a public online prediction platform based on deep learning for Cholangiocarcinoma
Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most preventable cancers when precancerous lesions are detected at an early stage. Current screening methods for CRC require bowel prep or stool-based testing that are inconvenient, resulting in low compliance. Stool based tests have limited sensitivity for the detection of precancerous lesions.
The CMx platform has been showed to be able to the detection of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in high sensitivity and specificity. In published studies, circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) are captured and quantified in advanced-stages of colorectal cancer. In order to detect early and pre-cancer circulating tumor cells, we have developed an Automated Liquid Biopsy Platform that improves the detection of CTCs in early cancer stages. Therefore, this study goals are: 1) to establish a standard detection process utilizing the Automated Liquid Biopsy Platform. 2) Parallel comparison of laboratory manual operation and Automated Liquid Biopsy Platform. 3) Verify the feasibility of use of an Automated Liquid Biopsy Platform in the clinical setting.
Project description:Gene expression profiles of RNA extracted at 24 or 48h from End1 cells infected with Chlamydia trachomatis or uninfected controls. This experiment forms part of the analysis of phosphoproteome changes after C.trachomatis infection.
Project description:We report an automated microwell array platform for single cell RNA-seq with significantly improved performance over previous implementations. We demonstrate cell capture efficiencies of >50%, compatibility with commercially available barcoded mRNA capture beads, and parallel expression profiling from thousands of individual cells. We apply our system to comprehensively assess heterogeneity in gene expression of patient-derived glioma neurospheres and uncover subpopulations similar to those observed in human glioma tissue.
Project description:Leukemic splenocytes from these commercial transgenic mice that developed fatal leukemia with massive splenomegaly were isolated at the time of the necropsy and subjected to gene expression profiling and phosphoprotein profiling in side by side comparison with CD22DE12-Tg BPL or CD22DE12_BCR-ABL double transgenic cells.
