Technique could enable 3-D printing of cellular structures for tissue engineering

The research also means that the growing of whole organs from human cells in the lab may well be fast tracked

Solution could reduce wait times to a fraction of what they once were

New technique allows tracking of gene expression over generations of cells as they specialize.

Researchers use fluorescent probes to see particular cells and their molecular components, such as proteins and nucleic acids in living systems

FAU researchers are the first to show that cells in close proximity to each other can sense when a cell is dying, and eat the cell before it becomes toxic

The social amoeba, Dictyostelium discoideum (or “Dicty”), is a great model for human COPD

The new mass-spectral imaging system is the first of its kind in the world and its applications are just beginning to surface

Theodore Price, PhD,  talks to contributing editor Tanuja Koppal, PhD, about the advent of digital cell imaging instruments that are very mobile, user-friendly, inexpensive, and intuitive to work with.

Researchers believe their acoustic tweezers have tremendous potential, especially in diagnostics, with some applications also in therapeutics
