While George was a kid at heart, Margaret kept the lab running smoothly. The two had spent years searching for a human immortal cell line — cells which could be reproduced infinitely.

Today, because of work conducted in model systems (yeast, worms, flies), cancer and normal mammalian cell lines, and rodents and higher mammals we have a detailed understanding of the conserved ...

Mycoplasma contamination often comes from infected cultures shared between research labs. It can also sneak in through cell culture media and animal products used in cell culture. Even the lab team ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists ... co-first author and a postdoctoral researcher in the Church Lab at Harvard Medical School. "Ten years ago, ...

The problem for the lab-leak position is that the U.S. has never had access to the Wuhan lab and has thus been unable to ...

What’s so special about Horizon’s HAP1 cell line? Because these cells, isolated from a leukemia patient and made to grow rapidly on lab plates, are near-haploid, containing only a single copy ...

immortalized PSC lines like these may be induced to produce specific tissue types. It would then be possible to generate in the laboratory insulin-producing islet cells to cure diabetes or ...

Growing cells outside the body began in 1907 with the work of Ross Harrison at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and continued in the hands of Alexis Carrel and Montrose Burrows at the Rockefeller ...

A government lab finds a novel virus present in cell lines used for therapeutic production that were thought to be virus-free. Kerry served as The Scientist’s news director until 2021. Before joining ...

Human CS cell lines SW1353 (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA), CAL78 (DSMZ, Braunschweig, Germany) and OUMS27 (HSRRB, Osaka, Japan), human OS cell lines SaOS2, MNNG-HOS (herein termed HOS) and MG63 (all ...

Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have developed a new way to grow T cells in the lab that enables them to live longer and better destroy cancer cells in a mouse model of melanoma ...
