Anchorage-dependent cells are cells that require physical attachment to a solid surface, such as a culture dish, to survive, ...

Stem cells are a kind of blank slate; these cells are able to specialize or differentiate into various types of cells. Researchers also now know how to make stem cells from several adult cell types, ...

In a bid to find or refine laboratory research models for cancer that better compare with what happens in living people, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report they have developed a new ...

Getting cells to grow and thrive in culture involves finding the right conditions and developing the right protocols.

Scientists set a new record for growing primate embryos outside the womb, as reported in the May issue of the journal Cell. For the first time, monkey embryos were cultivated in a lab for 25 days post ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Each cancer patient’s tumors have cells that look and act differently, making it difficult for scientists to determine treatments based on tumors grown from generic cell ...

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...

With the worldwide appetite for biologics soaring—the U.S. alone accounts for roughly $100 billion annually, and that’s growing at 11% CAGR—efforts to optimize bioprocessing technology remain vigorous ...

Coming into the lab and spotting an obvious fungal growth, or the tell-tale signs of cloudy media, can be a stressful experience for researchers. When carrying out cell culture in the lab, ...

A 50-micron glass pipette is used to capture a single cancer cell, which is then deposited onto a matrix gel island to culture into a three-dimensional tumor. That tumor can be tested under laboratory ...
