Efficient Protocols for Cryopreservation of Genetically Modified Rat Spermatozoa Developed
Scientists have attempted to improve methods for cryopreservation of rat spermatozoa, which usually provides notoriously poor results.

Using Regenerative Biology To Restore Mucus Production
Recently, a group of bioengineers at the University of Pittsburgh discovered a case of goblet cell regeneration that is both easily accessible and happens incredibly fast on cells isolated from early developing frog embryos.

Mechanism Cells May Use To Protect Themselves From Oxidative Damage Uncovered
Researchers have discovered an internal mechanism which may protect human cells from oxidative damage, which could help in understanding age-associated problems.

The First Roadmap for Ovarian Aging
Scientists from the U.S. and China have discovered, in unprecedented detail, how ovaries age in non-human primates. The findings reveal several genes that could be used as biomarkers and point to therapeutic targets for diagnosing and treating female infertility and age-associated ovarian diseases, such as ovarian cancer, in humans.

Stressed-out Cells Are Risk to "Mini-brains"’ Modeling Potential
Far from being the “brains-in-a-dish” touted by some sections of the media, cerebral organoids, hunks of neural tissue designed to act as in vitro models of neural processes, might actually fail to replicate even basic tenets of neuronal development, suggests a new study.

Tick Tock Let’s Treat the Internal Clock
Researchers from UNIGE and HUG were able to demonstrate the link between disturbances of the circadian clocks in pancreatic cells and type 2 diabetes, then to correct these disturbances.

CRISPR Gets a Boost in Stem Cells
A new update to the CRISPR base editing technology originally developed in the lab of David Liu at Harvard has vastly outperformed previous efforts by making highly accurate, single-DNA base editing with an efficiency of up to 90% of human stem cells.

Putrid Compound May Be Good News for Sufferers of Chronic Inflammatory Diseases
Putrescine, the compound responsible for perhaps the foulest odor in nature—the smell of decomposing flesh—may also be a remedy for atherosclerosis and other chronic inflammatory diseases, according to a new study.

Wuhan Coronavirus Successfully Grown in Cell Culture in Australia
Scientists from The Doherty Institute in Melbourne have successfully grown the Wuhan coronavirus from a patient sample, which will provide expert international laboratories with crucial information to help combat the virus. This is the first time the virus has been grown in cell culture outside of China.
