Isolation of pure populations of MuSCs and niche cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) Hindlimb muscles were dissected from young (4–6 weeks old) or aged (22–26 months old) C57BL/6J (Jackson Laboratory, 000664) mice and minced until no visible tissue chunks were visible. Muscle was then digested in a 15 ml FalconContinue Reading

Researchers found that a single mutated gene in an otherwise healthy stem cell can kick off an increasingly deviant feedback loop of miscommunication between the cancerousContinue Reading
What drives tumor growth? Is it a few rogue cells imposing their will upon healthy tissue, or diseased tissue bringing out the worst in otherwise peaceable cells? Or is it a back-and-forth, a dialogue between the two? According to a new study, it may be the latter, at least whenContinue Reading
The new microscope is a so-called multifocus microscope, which provides completely clear images, sorted into different layers, where you can study the cells from all angles. Credit: UiT To observe living cells through a microscope, a sample is usually squeezed onto a glass slide. It then lies there calmly andContinue Reading
By Surbhi JainAug 11 2022Reviewed by Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc. In an article recently published in the journal iScience, researchers discussed the utility of nickel-iron nanoparticles encased in waste plastic-derived carbon nanotubes for low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells. Study: Nickel-iron nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanotubes prepared from waste plastics for low-temperatureContinue Reading
Your cells need to get around. For example, immune cells must roam around your body to locate sites of infection, and neurons must migrate to specific positions in the brain during development. But cells do not have eyes to see where they are going. Instead, like a dog sniffing outContinue Reading
Researchers created substrates with nano-sized pillars in various arrangements. Credit: Jakob Vinje When biologists study cells under a microscope, they look at them on flat surfaces that are nothing like the environment inside the human body. Now, researchers at NTNU have found a way to mimic some aspects of aContinue Reading
A new study has found for the first time that tiny plastic particles found in water and air affect the function of our body’s cells and might damage them. Here are all the details. Beyond the waste generated when these products pollute the environment in massive quantities, the plates, cupsContinue Reading

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells seem like the ideal way to turn a patient’s own immune system into a tumor-fighting army. But in practice, these cellular foot soldiers can be fickle. Sometimes they follow their marching orders; other times they wreak havoc on healthy cells. New advances in syntheticContinue Reading
