Menarini Silicon Biosystems launches CELLSEARCH® Circulating Multiple Myeloma Cells Assay, a new non-invasive test to monitor disease status in clinical research studies

The new test, available as a Lab Service throughout Europe and US, leverages the Gold Standard CELLSEARCH platform to enumerate Circulating Multiple Myeloma Cells from blood and offers real-time standardized monitoring of multiple myeloma in clinical research studies.

BOLOGNA, Italy and HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pa., March 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Menarini Silicon Biosystems, a pioneer of liquid biopsy and single cell technologies, announced today the launch of a new assay to meet the needs of pharma companies, CROs, clinicians and research scientists working on multiple myeloma (MM). This new CELLSEARCH^® Circulating Multiple Myeloma Cells (CMMCs) Assay* captures and enumerates CMMCs from peripheral blood. It has the potential to reduce invasive, often painful, and costly bone marrow (BM) biopsies to monitor in real-time MM evolution and study disease biology. Its availability across Europe and the US will allow for increased data consistency during international multicenter MM trials.

MM is the second most common blood cancer. Throughout their clinical journey, patients are subject to repeat BM biopsies, to diagnose and monitor disease status. An unmet medical need in all MM stages is to have a non-invasive modality for diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression, providing the overall actionable information currently available from BM biopsies.

CMMCs are increased in the peripheral blood of patients with MM and in patients with two precursor diseases: monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM)¹. Moreover, a high degree of correlation between CELLSEARCH CMMC counts and disease burden in myeloma patients has been shown, raising the possibility of using CMMC counts as a metric for minimal residual disease or relapse in clinical trials¹.

According to Ana Slipicevic, Translational Research Director at Oncopeptides AB, “the CMMC test, with a non-invasive sampling procedure, for which peripheral blood drawn can be stored for up to 96 hours at room temperature, has shown to be a reliable and reproducible assay to monitor disease status. It has allowed us to save time in gaining rapid access to high quality study data”. The new assay offers significant standardization and sensitivity to monitor and understand MM disease.

“We are excited to present to industry researchers, academia and organizations, our new CMMC Assay that is showing great promise to monitor MM disease and precursor states through a non-invasive liquid biopsy,” said Fabio Piazzalunga, President and CEO of Menarini Silicon Biosystems. “The possibility, to further isolate these cells with the DEPArray platform and perform molecular analyses, allows to detect the specific molecular changes that occur throughout the disease progression, which will likely have therapeutic implications for this dynamic hematological disorder.”

About Menarini Silicon Biosystems Lab Services

It builds on MSB’s integrated workflow including the CELLSEARCH^® circulating cell capture, enumeration and enrichment platform and the DEPArray^TM cell sorting system, which enables single cell molecular analysis.

How Did Twitch Create a Near-Monopoly on Streaming Views?

So you want to watch someone livestream. It’s possible now, across many platforms, to watch someone live. It could be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez repotting her plants and discussing the latest ongoings in the political sphere on Instagram. It could be a little-known band playing acoustic versions of their songs on Facebook. It could be two lifestyle influencers having a discussion and answering questions on TikTok. These are major platforms, which have a huge amount of users using them for things outside live streaming – which was a feature each of these platforms incorporated after it appeared there was a demand. Twitch was the first livestreaming-specific platform which made itself known in wider popular culture. It continues, despite an increasingly competitive market forming around them, to have a near-monopoly on streaming views.

What is Twitch?

Twitch’s early model was gaming-focused. It was a place for those – professionals and amateurs – who wished to stream their gameplay live to an audience. Not only this, but production teams built around titles broadcasted competitive esports tournaments – the likes of Counter Strike: Global Offensive, for instance. YouTube was the place for recorded content. Twitch was the go-to place for gamers to consume content live (with highlights or even complete recordings of the stream being uploaded to YouTube to cater to that audience too).

It’s Model

The platform catered to games of all kinds early on and still does now. Obviously, there’s an incentive for delivering content on major titles like Call of Duty: Warzone or League of Legends but there’s also big audiences for those playing at online casinos like Comeon here on Twitch or smaller, lesser-known indie games. It allows audiences to form around video games and around streamers/communities.

In recent years, Twitch has consciously expanded and looked to diversify its content categories. It’s “IRL” and “Just Chatting” additions have been notable successes. These have been particularly popular with the East Asian market, attracting and developing audiences for streamers which are regularly in the multiple thousands.

The platform has also seen growth come to it without them having to make changes or decisions themselves. A recent example would be chess. The ancient game which, often derided as a game for those of particular status, age, interests, etc., has attracted new interest after Chess.com started to sponsor and instigate streams surrounding their brand. Notably, they utilise Hikaru Nakamura – one of the best chess players in the world – as their centrepiece. He’d been streaming for a while, without much major attention, but after xQc, Rubius, Pokimane, Logic, and Rainn Wilson joined in one of Chess.com’s tournaments then things took off.

The Competition

Due to Twitch’s success, as alluded to above, other platforms have incorporated live streaming features. YouTube and Facebook Gaming are now its two closest competitors. YouTube signed major streamers like CouRage and Valkyrae to exclusive contracts as well as working out a deal with Activision to broadcast the Call of Duty League and the Overwatch League only on YouTube. Facebook Gaming has stars use their platform but they seem less interested in esports productions. The issue both these huge social media sites have is that they are understood to primarily do other things beside live streaming. Facebook is Facebook and YouTube is for pre-recorded content (of any and every sort). Twitch is a ga ming platform. This is where it has its edge.

Friday Night Dinner Season 7 Might Return To Netflix Sooner Than You Think!

Season 6 of Channel 4 show ‘Friday Night Dinner’, which dropped last year in March, already has fans obsessing over the idea of season 7. But is Channel 4 planning to serve another season of the popular sitcom? Here’s everything you need to know about the future of the series.

The much-talked-about comedy series originally aired on Channel 4 in 2011. The show revolves around the Goodman family and their crazy and hilarious antics during their Friday night dinners.

Highlights —

Was season 6 the end or will ‘Friday Night Dinner’ return with season 7?
When will season 7 release?
The potential cast for season 7

While some of the stars of the popular show have hinted that this might be the last leg of the cringe-tastic Goodman family, viewers are hoping they are wrong.

Actor Simon Bird, who stars as Adam, spoke to NME about the show’s future, hinting toward its potential end.

He said:

“We think this is probably the end of the show.”

Video Credits: Friday Night Dinner

Was season 6 the end or will it return with season 7?

“Every series it feels more like ‘OK, we’re ready to say goodbye to these characters – we’re really proud of it but we’re ready and happy to move on.’ But who knows”, he continued.

After his comments gave fuel to the fire of rumours going around season 6 being the end of the cult-comedy series, creator Robert Popper stepped in and refuted the speculations. Popper, in an interview with “The Radio Times”, revealed that he has no plans of ending the series anytime soon.

A post shared by Friday Night Dinner (@fridaynightdinnner)

So it seems like, the Goodman family is here to stay.

When will season 7 release?

‘Friday Night Dinner’ has normally dropped a new batch of six episodes every two years especially in summers.

If a seventh series is in the pipeline, then, we can expect the Goodmans to visit us in spring/summer 2022. However, given the current constraints around filming due to the coronavirus pandemic, the production of the next season could be delayed.

The potential cast for season 7

If the show wants to maintain its TV ratings and audience demographic, we can hope that the next season will feature all the beloved lead actors in their roles.

The main cast that is likely to make a comeback to including Tamsin Greig starring as mom Jacqueline “Jackie” Goodman, Paul Ritter who plays dad Martin Goodman, Simon Bird as an older son Adam Goodman and Tom Rosenthal who plays younger son Jonathan “Jonny” Goodman.

Video Credits: Lorraine

In addition, other favourite characters like Mark Heap who plays Jim Bell, Goodmans’ strange neighbour who regularly makes an appearance can also be expected to return in season 7.

What might happen in the next season?

Robert Popper has revealed that he plans to write more stories around the Goodman family.

In an interaction with the media ahead of the release of season 6, Popper revealed what inspired him to continue with the series.

Popper said that he wanted to do a show about a family that brings back the memories of childhood again.

“I think it’s the intensity of the family which has quite a Jewish theme. When you write about a family people can relate to them straight away.”

Season 6 introduced viewers to a few characters without much background like the ‘horrible grandma’ who attended Martin’s birthday party.

Video Credits: GoGo Videos

Fans can hope to get to know them better in series seven.

It goes without saying that season 7 is likely to bring more hilarious and cringe-worthy family moments as the boys introduce their girlfriends to the family.

Do you think the show should return with another season? Let us know what you think in the comments box below.

DeakinCo. : 4 globally recognized courses that will prepare students for the future of work

NEW DELHI, March 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Digitisation accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and globalization are shaping the future workplace in India, with 2 out of 3 jobs touted to become soft skill intensive by 2030. Some of the top soft skills, also referred to as employability skills that employers in India and around the world are looking for are communication, active learning, resilience, flexibility, digital dexterity, and critical thinking.

While the demand for soft skill intensive professionals is on the rise, the same can’t be said for the availability of a qualified workforce. As per the India Skills Report 2021, not even half of the Indian graduates are employable due to a lack of professional skill sets. That’s a worrying revelation and urges the need for reformative measures to ensure jobseekers with skills necessary for in-demand career opportunities in various industries.

This begets the question: how can graduates and early careerists attain these skills to get the job they want?

Here are four globally recognised and industry demanded upskilling courses that will help job seekers get ready for the future of work:

1. Fundamentals of Communication

One might have noticed that nearly every job description in any field lists good communication skills as a requirement for the job. In today’s and tomorrow’s workplace, communication skills are no longer nice to have but a must-have. From school students to team leaders, this communications course is for anyone looking to brush up their communications skills to future-proof their career. All one needs is a curious mind and 4 to 6 hours to become a more effective communicator in the workplace.

2. Professional Resilience: Building Skills to Thrive at Work

In a fast-paced world facing complex global challenges, resilience skills are no longer just desirable – they’re crucial. The need for employees that possess resilience skills has become a top necessity for companies after the COVID-19 pandemic. On this course developed by Deakin University (Top 1% university worldwide) and certified for Professional Development by CPD UK, one will develop resilience skills, making oneself ready to meet both professional and personal challenges. This online resilience training course would be useful for people working in or aiming to work in high-pressure environments.

3. From Logic to Critical Thinking

The words ‘critical thinking’ are a common sighting on job descriptions so it comes as no surprise that it’s one of the leading in-demand soft skill. Developing critical thinking makes a candidate’s place in the future of the workplace secure. This course in critical thinking aims to provide one with the concepts to apply critical thinking principles to translate concepts or creative ideas into solutions for known business problems. In this course, one will cover methodology, logical evaluation, and critical analysis.

4. Digital Fundamentals in a Connected World

With increased access to technology, it is estimated that close to a billion Indians will have uninterrupted internet access by 2030. Everyone is amidst the digitisation revolution in 2021 and digital skills will be key in providing jobseekers with a career pathway into high paying jobs. This foundational digital literacy course teaches one to identify a range of digital tools to communicate, create and share information online, and gain an awareness of how data is tracked, retained, and used.

To sum it up, Glenn Campbell, DeakinCo. Chief Executive said, “Whether a person works for a Fortune 500 company or a small start-up, a professional who is actively learning and upskilling will always be in demand. Going the extra mile matters if you want to stand out among a vast sea of aspirants, upskilling is the need of the hour.”

TUMI unveils premium capsule luggage and travel collection inspired by McLaren

NEW YORK and LONDON, March 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — TUMI, the leading international travel and lifestyle brand, today unveils its new collection designed and developed in partnership with luxury supercar maker and Formula 1 team, McLaren.

McLaren’s designers, engineers, and racers travel thousands of miles around the world each year in pursuit of perfection. Just as each driver relies on their car to get them across the finish line, the team depends on their luggage and travel necessities to get them to their destination. That inspiration manifests in the superior made-to-last quality of the collection.

For over 45 years, TUMI has built a reputation for innovation, functionality and durable design, with a focus on optimising the journeys of Global Citizens.

Since announcing in 2019 that the two companies would work together, TUMI’s Creative Director, Victor Sanz and Rob Melville, McLaren’s supercar Design Director have created a premium capsule collection of elegant business, travel and everyday essentials. Each piece is designed to uncomplicate, while elevating performance in all aspects of life on the move.

From automotive to sports, TUMI is inspired by the world’s most innovative industries. For McLaren—a renowned global leader in embedding cutting-edge technology into products with a clear design aesthetic—travel and lifestyle are integral. The two brands share the common vision of continually pursuing higher levels of excellence, which is reflected in the considered details and choice of materials in the McLaren inspired TUMI range.

Embodying TUMI and McLaren’s mutual ethos of performance luxury, the capsule collection is comprised of nine pieces. Each encompasses elements of McLaren’s sleek, bold supercars and race cars. All are highlighted with McLaren’s signature Papaya colourway and feature CX6® carbon fibre accents.

Key travel pieces include the Aero International Expandable 4 Wheel Carry-On and the Quantum Duffel. The carry-on is crafted in a hybrid of materials, including Tegris®, an extremely hard-wearing thermoplastic composite found in race cars. The hard shell is contrasted by a moulded-fabric front panel with a supercar-influenced design that is echoed throughout the collaboration.

This solid build allows the collection to protect the contents it carries, incorporating further elements of McLaren’s supercar designs. The interior features a compression strap that takes its cues from the six-point racing harnesses found in its race cars and track-only models such as the limited-edition McLaren Senna GTR.

The Velocity Backpack was created to keep wearers connected all day long thanks to the inclusion of a USB port and padded laptop compartment. TUMI’s hallmark “Add-a-Bag” sleeve makes it a fitting companion to the collection’s carry-on.

The Torque Sling and Lumin Utility Pouch are additional contemporary styles for light-carry and hands-free days. The Orbit Small Packing Cube, Trace Expandable Organizer, and split compartment Teron Travel Kit are all ultra-portable accessories to keep your belongings protected, organised, and readily available through every leg of your journey.

The collection will be available 31 March 2021 via TUMI.com, TUMI’s Global retail stores, McLarenstore.com, and select McLaren retailers Globally.

Victor Sanz, Creative Director, TUMI said:

“For me, this is the ultimate collaboration as TUMI and McLaren have an innate synergy. We’re two like-minded brands who share the same values—unparalleled quality, technical innovation and design excellence. The value of this partnership, however, extends beyond the product. With a keen focus on lifestyle, we design for the betterment of the customer experience. With McLaren’s advanced technology and our top-of-the-line materials, our gear can tackle the most arduous excursions and still effortlessly translate into daily life.”

Rob Melville, Design Director for McLaren Automotive, said: “When I first met with Victor to define the collection we quickly realised that we each brought a shared creative vision for what we wanted to achieve.

“At McLaren we focus on articulating a clear design language and materials selection which combines and leads into our car’s performance. We wanted to capture those aspects with TUMI so we’ve spent a great deal of time working to analyse and refine every aspect of this collection. The result is something that I am incredibly proud of and that I believe will elevate the owner’s experience while serving as a reminder that, like our cars, it’s about enjoying the journey and not simply the destination.”

Mark Waller, Chief Commercial Officer for McLaren Racing, said: “McLaren strives to push the boundaries of design, performance and perfection in everything it does, whether on the road or on the track. This collaboration exemplifies that spirit. We are delighted to be collaborating with TUMI on this collection. We look forward to seeing our race team use it around the world as we commence the 2021 Formula 1 season.”
