Cancer stem cells represent an attractive model for in vitro tumor modeling, especially for closer, physiological screening of new anticancer compounds. Although much progress has been made in culturing cancer stem cells, technical challenges persist in the identification and characterization of cell types in a heterogeneous cellular population. In this webinar, our panelist will discuss emerging tools and strategies for the characterization of stem cells derived from heterogeneous populations and applications of this model system for drug discovery. Following the presentation, attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions concerning their specific applications and receive answers in real-time.

Why Do We Feel Butterflies in the Stomach?

These fluttering sensations are the brain’s reaction to certain emotions, which can be amplified or soothed by the gut’s own “bugs".
