Let’s face it: Nobody pursues a career in science for the joy of culturing cells. But this thankless and time-intensive task is the backbone of biological research. When it’s done extremely well, the ...

Cells are typically studied outside the body under controlled laboratory conditions. However, conventional flat cell culture ...

Intestinal Stem Cells (ISCs) derived from a patient's own cells have garnered significant attention as a new alternative for treating intractable intestinal diseases due to their low risk of rejection ...

Harvard stem cell biologists have pioneered a groundbreaking 3D organoid culture method for generating large numbers of adult skeletal muscle satellite cells, also known as muscle stem cells, in vitro ...

Researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, pioneered a new method for encapsulating cells within small, soft ...

Researchers have developed a new imagining system to monitor pluripotent stem cells during incubation. The new device -- INSPCTOR -- uses lens-free imaging technology integrated with thin-film ...

Cellular agriculture could be instrumental to environmentally-friendly food production. However, high raw material costs impede financial viability. One area that could be improved is stem cell ...

Stem cell research recently celebrated its 60th anniversary. Although the first publications in this field appeared in the early 1960s, it took another 20 years before the first embryonic stem cells ...

To many cancer biologists, the in vitro culturing of cancer cells and even tumors is so commonplace that we often don’t think twice about it. What does it take to grow cancer in a dish? As it turns ...
