On 26 November, an experiment in a sounding rocket was launched at Esrange Space Center in Kiruna, Sweden, by a research group at the Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology (MTC) at ...

Each cell is captured in a single microdroplet and then subjected to biochemical profiling. However, on random occasions, multiple cells are captured at the same time in a microdroplet and wrongly ...

With standard PCR systems, users are required to set a predefined quantity of cycles according to assay and sample-specific factors. Single-cell sequencing tests demand knowledge of the number of ...

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has spent the past decade maturing into a foundational technology. Over that time, the technology has both laid the foundation for building cell atlases and allowed ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel cells critical to retinal health for the first time. When injected into mouse ...

A team of German researchers has developed a miniaturized solar cell experiment for nanosatellites. It was used to test samples of new mutlijunction solar cells developed by Azur Space, including ...

Scientists have advanced human-animal chimera research by successfully growing human cells within the organs of mice. This development could bring experts closer to the goal of custom-growing human ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and the molecular events within them are dynamic, and developmental processes, ...

New research shows it's possible to reprogram skin cells into eggs that can be fertilized in the lab, though it's just a proof of concept for now. Reading time 3 minutes A team of scientists has ...

Blind people could one day regain their sight after lab-grown cells restored retinal function in mice, according to a ...
