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, ...

A powerful new stem cell technique has enabled large-scale studies of the relationship between human genetics and biology. Studying stem cell samples from hundreds of individuals in the same culture ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
