Fibrin hydrogel, an oft-used two-dimensional scaffold for in vitro cell culture, was recently functionalized to grow human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) in three dimensions. This advance ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by Fiona Leslie, Chloe Whiting, and Megan Webster. TGF-β1-mediated activation of fibroblasts, their transition to α-SMA-expressing myofibroblasts, ...

To many cancer biologists, the in vitro culturing of cancer cells and even tumors is so commonplace that we often don’t think twice about it. What does it take to grow cancer in a dish? As it turns ...

Tissue Engineering (TE) strategies combining stem cells, biomaterial scaffolds, and biochemical/physical cues have emerged as promising approaches for the repair/replacement of injured tissues and ...

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...

D models coupled with live-cell imaging can enhance the overall reliability of preclinical renal safety evaluations.

Dr Jitesh Neupane discusses his hematoids model and opportunities to study childhood blood disorders and future stem cell therapies.

In a significant advancement for lab-on-chip technology, IBEC researchers in the frame of the European project BLOC, have demonstrated the first integration of a benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance ...
