Cryopreservation is the use of low temperatures to preserve structurally intact living cells. Cells are cryopreserved to avoid loss by contamination, to minimize genetic change in continuous lines, ...

Every organism has its own family tree. And like any family tree, an organism’s family tree is more interesting if it’s both complete and richly detailed. That is, each member of the family tree ...

BioCision LLC, the CoolPrep™ company, announced today that it has expanded its line of innovative benchtop sample handling tools with the launch of the CryoPrep System™, a modular complete solution ...

There are various concepts about how blood cells develop. However, they are based almost exclusively on experiments that solely reflect snapshots. Scientists now present a novel technique that ...

Researchers in Japan have demonstrated preserving frozen animal cells without a cryoprotectant agent, relying instead on ultrarapid cooling. A team of Japanese researchers has -- for the first time -- ...

GESTALT is based on synthesized DNA barcodes of ∼250 base pairs that contain ten different target sites for CRISPR–Cas9-mediated editing. When a cell containing the barcode is supplied with Cas9 and ...

There are about 75 different types of cells in the human brain. What makes them all different? Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed a new set of computational tools to help answer ...

Microscopes have long served as windows into the hidden world of cells, revealing their shape, activity, and chemistry. Yet watching life at this scale has always involved trade-offs. To capture the ...
