🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Month starts today, and we reflect on the impact breast cancer has had on our personal and professional lives.     By creating tools for #innovative and streamlined research, we hope to enable groundbreaking discoveries by the researchers who work tirelessly on understanding the disease.👩🔬   🔬 This 4IC tumoroid was stained with Hoechst, Phalloidin, and Vimentin. Immunofluorescence staining is an essential technique in #biomarker elucidation, and leads to a better comprehension of potential treatment pathways for breast cancer.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway is an essential mechanism for the cell cycle. Mutations of the EGFR protein can lead to uninhibited cell growth, division, and spread of cancerous cells.  In collaboration with MatTek Life Sciences and SCIENION, we treated HTC116 colon #cancer cells with human recombinant epidermal growth factor (EGF) and/or Cetuximab using an #automated workflow. After treatment, EGFR internalization analysis was done using CellPathfinder (Yokogawa Life Science).   The analysis showed that, when activated with EGF, EGFR localization moved from the cell's membrane to its cytoplasm. However, when treated with Cetuximab before the introduction of EGF, the internalization of EGFR was impeded. This is consistent with Cetuximab binding to EGFR and interfering with EGF activation. Further studies are on-going with patient-derived CRC cancer models.    Download the full poster: https://lnkd.in/gSe22pwc
