Tubular tissue advance could pave way for lab-grown blood vessels
Innovative technology that creates ultra-thin layers of human cells in tube-like structures could spur development of lifelike blood vessels and intestines in the lab.
Cool as ice: How new research is helping scientists preserve cells
A method to store advanced cell models has been developed by researchers at the University of Warwick.
Establishing cell lines to improve iPSC research
iPSC lines have become essential for determining the underlying genetic drivers of human disease.
Paintings, Cartoons Combine to Render Biological Molecules
During the annual ACA meeting, David Goodsell, of Scripps Research and RCSB Protein Data Bank, will discuss his use of artistic methods to visualize biological data. His presentation, “Art as a Tool for Structural Biology,” takes place Tuesday. Traditional artistic mediums, like painting, provide the freedom necessary to illustrate cells, and Goodsell is using illustrations to lay the foundation for computational modeling of whole cells. He also creates brightly colored, cartoonlike graphics with nonphotorealistic computer graphics methods to highlight the overall shape of molecules and how they assemble and interact.
