Their current definition is more complicated, and less defamatory: viruses are entities whose genome replicates inside living cells, and are able to transfer that viral genome to other cells. As this definition implies, viruses comprise the whole reproduction cycle – and they need other living cells to reproduce.

Since the advent of GFP (autofluorescent protein), whole living cells or organisms have been used as experimental systems in a wide range of fields (cell biology and biomedical). Since 1994, GFP has served as a scientist's agent in the field of biotechnology because it only requires oxygen and energy to ...

Previous methods used to prevent photobleaching were not very effective, and in addition, they were usually toxic to living cells, like totally removing molecular oxygen. However, the OIST researchers placed the cells in an environment with low oxygen concentrations, which mimics the real conditions ...

Triple Exponential Moving Average (also referred to as TEMA) was developed by Patrick Mulloy and was first published in ...

Researchers claim to have fused living cells and non-living cells in a way that allows them to work together – image courtesy of Depositphotos. The researchers believe this discovery could pave the way for new applications such as cellular 'batteries' powered by photosynthesis, synthesis of drugs inside ...

“This study represents real progress in regenerative medicine and opens the door on new treatment options for people with age-related macular degeneration,” said co-author Peter Coffey, a professor at UCSB's Neuroscience Research Institute and co-director of the campus's Center for Stem Cell Biology ...

A range of tools and scaffolds are now available to help researchers move cell biology from the Petri dish to 3D culture (see Building the Future from 3D Blueprints on page 96), but the combination of 3D culture and stem cell biology has produced the emerging field of organoids [1,]. Researchers have produced organoids ...

A team from Imperial College London have managed to do something quite extraordinary: create artificial cells, and embed living cells within them. Although this seems like the first step in creating some fantastical-sounding artificial, augmented lifeform, its true purpose is far more immediate and practical.

A team at Imperial College London (ICL) have found a way to fuse living cells within a non-biological structure enabling them to harness the natural ability of biological cells to process chemicals while protecting them from the environment. Previous research has centred on utilising only parts of the cell ...

Thrombotic blockages within blood vessels are a common health problem. When occlusions occur in large vessels, they can be relatively easy to deal with using wires, catheters, balloons, and stents. It is the smaller vasculature, which can be too narrow for intravascular instruments, that is currently nearly ...

“It seems like every time you turn around, someone is talking about the importance of artificial intelligence and machine learning,” said Trey Ideker, PhD, University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center professor. “But all of these systems are so-called 'black boxes.

Feb 2018 OKINAWA, Japan, Feb. 27, 2018 — A large-scale biosensor developed using nanoplasmonic material is able to accommodate a large number of cells on a single substrate and monitor cell proliferation in real time. The nanoplasmonic material allows for long-term cell survival and unaltered cellular responses.

Classic cell biology approaches study averaged results collected from many cells meaning that key cell-to-cell differences are lost. Yet, scientists think this variability between cells could hold the key to bigger differences. Each life starts out as a small number of cells and develops to produce hundreds of ...
