As currently applied, digital PCR can only be used to detect known mutations at single sequence positions, for 'hotspot' mutations.

Higher eukaryotes, including plants, comprise tissues and organs comprising complex interspersions of different cell types.

Necrotrophic pathogens live and feed on dying tissue, but their interactions with plants are not well understood compared to biotrophic pathogens.

Developing and using sequence indexed, saturated collections of mutants allows us to understand the functions of nearly every gene. We have developed such a platform for sorghum, and will discuss it and ways to use this resource to make the long-promised functional improvements to both food and fuel crops.

In this talk, Christine Dufes demonstrates that the intravenous administration of a tumour-targeted dendriplex led to tumour disappearance of 90% of the tested tumours over one month.

In this presentation we will explore the opportunities afforded by the hybrid magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles and PA imaging for the development of a low cost simple and nearly real-time assays for capture, separation and enumeration of rare cells.

In this talk Kattesh Katti, describes the application of green nanotechnology in cancer therapy.

In this talk, Martin Gijs discusses a novel magnetic surface coverage assay and a microfluidic tissue processor with applications in cancer diagnostics.

Katharina Pachmann shows that among the peripherally circulating tumor cells a variable fraction is able to express stem cell and adhesion properties and can be grown into tumor spheres, a property ascribed to cells capable of initiating tumors and metastases.

Peter Ertl discusses how for the first time, direct cell-to-cell interactions of tumor cells with bead-activated primary T cells were continuously assessed using an effector cell to target cell ratio of 10:1.
