By overlooking physiologic components of the extracellular environment, researchers risk obtaining misleading or irreproducible results in the critical early stages of drug discovery and development.
Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) use a focused beam of electrons to produce images of objects that have been magnified up to 2,000,000 times, revealing detail and complexity inaccessible with light microscopy. Today, SEMs, which are smaller and easier to use, are helping expand research on photovoltaic material coatings, cosmetic composition and activity inside our bodies, at a microscopic level.
Many researchers are moving away from using cells grown in monolayers, which do not represent their growth in the body. But as 3D cell cultures rise in popularity, they bring unique challenges that scientists are working to fix.
Indiana's flagship university is developing regenerative medicine treatments that could transform how doctors repair human tissue—and perhaps even organs.
A premium cancer centre in China, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center is looking for talented researchers to join its mission of improving cancer diagnosis and treatment, and promoting technological advancement.
A Shanghai-based joint venture is the national leader in developing antibody-based biosimilar and biologic products, providing patients with quality, affordable therapeutics.
At the Brazilian Research Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology (BRAINN), researchers combine disciplines to find new ways to address the age-old conditions of epilepsies and strokes.
