Cell Culture – News and Features

Epithelial cells "talk" to each other with slow electrical signals, and "scream" to their neighbors when injured, new research has discovered.

Researchers have developed pig retinal organoids to understand how stem cell-derived photoreceptor cells work as a therapeutic.

Dalip Sethi provides valuable insights on how AI is currently being carefully and critically considered within the cell and gene therapy industry, with regard to data and technological preparedness.

Technology Networks caught up with Professor Mazhar Adli to learn more about his research on the characterization of essential human genes and the benefits of using inducible degrons to study gene function.

A new approach to monitoring molecular processes deep in tissues could accelerate personalized medicine, cancer diagnostics and disease detection.

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have uncovered the mechanism by which retinoic acid selectively kills metastatic neuroblastoma cells, with little effect on primary tumors.

A specialist in flow cytometry, cell sorting and cellular biology, Dr. Richard Cuthbert shared his perspectives on the current and future applications of flow cytometry – and automated flow cytometry systems – in modern drug discovery.

Scientists from the University of Cologne identified the 1N4R tau isoform as a key contributor to neuronal dysfunction in Alzheimer’s. They found that this tau variant increases vulnerability to amyloid beta and phosphorylated tau aggregates.

Researchers at Rice University and Vanderbilt University found that combining focused ultrasound (FUS) with TRAIL protein therapy significantly reduces prostate tumor size in lab models. The treatment enhances cancer cell death via Piezo1 activation.

This article explores how switching to an automated continuous manufacturing process can improve product yields and quality, lower capital expenditures, reduce facility footprints and minimize waste, ultimately reducing the price tag of biologics.
