A new method for encapsulating single cells within tunable microgels could boost efficacy of cell-based therapies and tissue engineering, suggest scientists. Alginate hydrogels -- which are derived ...

(CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts) - Alginate hydrogels - which are derived from the polysaccharide found in brown seaweed - have emerged as an effective material for manipulating cells and tissues due to ...

In a recent article in Scientific Reports, researchers examined the use of single-layer graphene oxide (slGO) nanosheets to enhance the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human bone ...

Interest in cell therapy has increased in recent years, with additional focus on leveraging this as a strategy to fight tumors by harnessing the immune system. Cell therapy technologies include ...

Bone marrow transplants of hematopoietic stem cells have become standard treatment for a host of conditions including cancers of the blood and lymphatic systems, sickle cell anemia, inherited ...

About 90% of cancer deaths are due to metastases, when tumors spread to other vital organs, and a research group recently realized that it's not individual cells but rather distinct clusters of cancer ...

Microfluidic devices have been established as versatile platforms to mimic various culture conditions or microenvironments in 2D and 3D tissue models. Oxygen availability in the cellular ...

The µEncapsulator System from Dolomite Bio enables simple, quick and reliable encapsulation of single cells, DNA and/or functionalized beads in high precision, monodisperse picoliter droplets. The ...

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) refer to cancer cells that have broken off from a primary tumor. These tumor cells can travel through the blood in the circulatory system and lodge themselves in other ...
