Manipulating stem cells to repair brain damage

04 June, 2014

A scientist from Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is hoping to unlock the potential of stem cells as a way of repairing neural damage to the brain.


Heavy mouse enables hard-hitting research

20 May, 2014

Scientists from the University of Cambridge have created the world's first animal enriched with heavy but non-radioactive isotopes. The 'heavy' mouse has enabled the scientists to capture in unprecedented detail the molecular structure of natural tissue by reading the magnetism inherent in the isotopes.


Single-cell analysis inspired by microchips

19 May, 2014

US and Korean researchers have developed a device, similar to a random-access memory (RAM) chip, which moves cells rather than electrons. The device could be scaled up to sort and store hundreds of thousands of individual living cells in a matter of minutes.


Building bone marrow-on-a-chip

09 May, 2014

Researchers from the Wyss Institute have created a new organ-on-a-chip - a microfluidic device that mimics the physiology of a living organism. The device reproduces the structure, functions and cellular make-up of bone marrow.


Still no calcification in regenerative tissue technology

05 May, 2014

Biotechnology company Admedus has revealed that CardioCel, its collagen cardiovascular scaffold used to repair heart defects, has shown no detectable calcification or any other issues in the six years following implantation.


DiaSorin Liaison Ixt/Arrow CellSep Advanced for automated cell separation

30 April, 2014

DiaSorin has launched Liaison Ixt/Arrow CellSep Advanced for the automated isolation of cells directly from whole blood or buffy coat. Based on magnetic bead technology, the product can isolate up to three cell types per sample in just 32 min per cell type.


GeneCopoeia stable cell line development services

30 April, 2014

GeneCopoeia offers services for establishing stable cell lines for protein overexpression, gene knockdown or genome editing which meet the user's specific research needs.


Stem cells demonstrate rare absorption property

24 April, 2014

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have found that stem cells demonstrate a bizarre property, known as auxeticity, never before seen at a cellular level.


Ebers Medical tissue engineering bioreactors

03 March, 2014

Ebers Medical develops, manufactures and commercialises devices for research in cell culture with special emphasis in the field of bioreactors and culture chambers for tissue engineering. The bioreactors are used to reproduce in an in vitro culture environment some of the conditions which cells experience when growing in vivo by using two different approaches: the application of controlled flow rates or the direct deformation of the scaffolds in which cells are seeded.


NanoEntek JulI FL fluorescence live cell movie analyser

28 February, 2014

The JuLI FL is a smart fluorescence live cell movie analyser and counter. The product uses state-of-the-art optics to get live cell images from various cell culture dishes and can perform cell-based assays, including cell counting, cell viability and GFP/RFP expression level checking.


Stem cell competition caught on tape

21 February, 2014

The epithelial lining of the small intestine needs to be regenerated by stem cells every few days in order to stay functional. Researchers from the Hubrecht Institute have captured recordings of these stem cells in living mice.


Genea Biocells becomes largest provider of human embryonic stem cells

17 February, 2014

Australian stem cell company Genea Biocells has become the world’s largest provider of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines on the USA National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stem Cell Registry.


Qiagen REPLI-g WTA Single Cell Kit and REPLI-g Cell WGA & WTA Kit

13 February, 2014

The REPLI-g WTA Single Cell Kit and REPLI-g Cell WGA & WTA Kit enable transcriptomic NGS analysis from single cells and comparative genomic and transcriptomic analysis from the same small sample.


Capturing circulating cancer cells

06 February, 2014

Researchers at the Ian Wark Research Institute, located at the University of South Australia, have developed a new way to catch cancer cells circulating in a patient's blood.


Cosmo Bio Binkit for natural killer cells expansion

30 January, 2014

The Biotherapy Institute of Japan has released the Binkit for NK cells expansion from PBMCs. A benefit of the kit includes the ability to expand natural killer (NK) cells from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) without the need for feeder cells.
