How is a normal cell transformed into a cancerous cell? The proteins involved in cell division events no longer appropriately drive progression from one cell cycle stage to the next.

However, one culture condition that researchers often overlook is oxygen consumption. “Cells are grown in aqueous medium and there's a cell monolayer, which generates an oxygen sink where cells are ...

For the past decade, medical researchers have been growing living, miniature replicas of parts of the human brain from stem cells ... like little blobs on a petri dish, designed to mimic specific ...

This encourages growth of the culture without growing human ... However, when grown on agar in a Petri dish, each individual cell divides multiple times to form a visible colony.
