Inexpensive 3-D-printed microfluidics device could be used to personalize cancer treatment. A key feature in this MIT-designed device was using a new biocompatible resin — traditionally used for dental applications — that can support long-term survival of biopsied tissue.

An experimental vaccine strategy against HIV has been shown to work in non-human primates.

Vaccination may reduce the severity of the flu in vaccinated but still infected patients.

High-throughput single-cell analysis has been regularly acclaimed as a transformative technology for sequencing and a huge step towards the goal of personalized medicine. Will Tapestri, a sequencing platform developed by Mission Bio, be the game-changer in DNA analysis we have been waiting for?

CRISPR-based gene editing has been implemented across the scientific community in the past 5 years. Although CRISPR is relatively easy and efficient compared to previous gene editing methods, researchers are continuing to improve the technology. New advancements are designed to make different types of genetic changes, improve efficiency, and improve delivery of CRISPR for different therapeutic approaches.

Although many new cellular assays entered the drug discovery scene over the course of the last decades, we still lack a predictable tool when it comes to selecting compounds or cell lines for xenograft testing. What is lacking?
