Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

Let’s face it: Nobody pursues a career in science for the joy of culturing cells. But this thankless and time-intensive task is the backbone of biological research. When it’s done extremely well, the ...

2.5-dimensional cell growth approaches, enhanced by plasmas, are the likely future for applications in medicine and ...

Most cells in the human body exist in complex three-dimensional environments, yet they are still commonly studied on flat plastic dishes. These two-dimensional cultures distort cell behavior, limiting ...
