"We have identified the molecular 'switch' that tells the cell to start expanding the sack to fit the trash, which is akin to finding the gas and brake pedals on a garbage truck. And knowing how to ...

Recycling takes place in our cells at all times: in a process called autophagy, cell components that are no longer needed are enclosed by membranes and broken down into their basic building blocks.

When scientists grow cells in culture, they fine tune factors such as medium ingredients, cell number, and incubator temperature to mimic the human body. However, one culture condition that ...

In this interview, we speak with Angeline Lim, PhD, Senior Application Scientist at Molecular Devices, about the role of AI and automation in modern drug discovery. Angeline shares how Molecular ...

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 ...

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 ...
