Scientists have the technology to grow humans in Petri dishes, but they say there are better uses for it: to combat aging.

For example, it produces certain hormones and components of the cell membrane, and stores calcium ions, which cells use to coordinate responses to stimuli. These molecules move through the ER’s ...

YAP, a protein known to help cancer cells survive treatment ... it is grown in a flat monolayer (2D), or a three-dimensional (3D) spheroid culture. The work has the potential to define more ...

Much like each organ plays an important role in the human body—the heart for pumping blood or the lungs for breathing—cells contain ... Dysfunctional mitochondria have also been associated ...

The mutated stem cells also contained turbocharged mitochondria, which gave the cells a strong competitive growth advantage. "This was really unexpected," Trowbridge said. "This gene was not ...

While scientists have previously managed to do so in 2D environments, creating a 3D environment for cells has been a challenge. Luo chalks that up to "two things that are at odds with each other." ...

3D cell models are redefining how we study development and disease. Yet, as adoption grows, so do the challenges; ensuring reproducibility, selecting the right materials and mastering cell maintenance ...

Join us in February 2023, as SAE Media Group’s 6th annual 3D Cell Culture Conference brings together industry experts from big pharma, regulatory bodies, and cutting-edge researchers to discuss ...

Without it, the mitochondria ... in cells from patients as well as in animal models. Sebastian Valenzuela, a doctoral student at Sahlgrenska Academy, has analyzed the molecule's structure ...
