The transparent millifluidic perfusion cassettes (mPCs) developed by researchers should allow for better evaluations of the interactions between the cells and invading pathogens.
A new study reveals that the healing process following a brain injury could initiate the growth of glioblastoma cancers.
In this article Andrew Nyborg from Horizon Therapeutics discusses why researchers are taking a second look at gout and how they are modelling the condition, which is unique to humans.

Watch our on-demand webinar where we explore new methods to improve data quality from high-throughput screens. You'll learn about solutions for common problems in drug-target discovery and our keynote speaker will also look at case studies where new approaches to screening have identified high-quality candidate drugs for proliferative diseases.
Researchers engineered the Disque Platform, a high-fidelity culture system, to enable them to screen drugs able to promote β cell proliferation.
Scientists have trained a computer algorithm to identify differences in cancer cell lines based on microscopic images, preventing the misclassification of cells.
Two drugs, Nefiracetam and PHA 543613, were able to return neuronal signalling to near normal in organoids derived from patients with the autism spectrum disorder, Rett syndrome.
Scientists suggest that research using XPSCs, an intermediate form of embryonic stem cell, could help accelerate the development of stem cell-derived tissues and organs for transplantation.
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines are a firm favourite with biologics companies because of the extensive developmental work undertaken in recent decades. In this article, Junrui Li divulges how CRISPR technology is now being employed to further enhance productivity.
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a class of naturally occurring polysaccharides that play vital roles in cellular functions. GAGs (eg, hyaluronic acid, heparosan, chondroitin, chondroitin sulfate, heparan sulfate and heparin) have also been utilised in biopharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. Animal-sourced GAGs can contain process impurities and contaminants, which may result in adverse…
In this article Maria Bernabeu, Group Leader at EMBL, Barcelona, discusses why it is important to research and develop novel therapeutics for cerebral malaria and how her research group intends to develop a 3D blood-brain barrier model for this purpose.
Researchers have found a way to systematically extract various cell types from induced pluripotent stem cells and made their transcription factor source accessible for other scientists.
COVID-19 is known to infect the lungs; however, the dynamics of viral infection and replication are poorly understood. Alongside the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Professor Lyle Armstrong and colleagues have been working to develop a human lung epithelium model of SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication. In this article, he describes…
In this journal, find articles discussing antimicrobial resistance, exploring why inhibiting the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and neuropilin-1 could help combat COVID-19, as well as how CRISPR can be used to enhance productivity in cell line development. Also in this issue, features on engineering new biologic drugs and precision medicine.
