The µDG can preserve the structure of K562 cells, resulting in highly efficient detection and quantitative measurement of elemental signals from individual cells.

Explore a scalable method for differentiating induced pluripotent stem cells into cytotoxic natural killer (NK) cells to advance immunotherapy.

Quantitative elemental analysis of human leukemia K562 single cells by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in combination with a microdroplet generator.

Our skin’s epithelial cells send electrical signals like neurons to cry out for help ...

Two new studies suggest that Parkinson's disease can potentially be treated with stem cells placed in a patient's brain.

A dish of brain cells learned to play the 1970s video game Pong. The research could help computers become more intelligent ...

Since there are multiple layers to tissues, there also need to be multiple shapes of cells, such as epithelial cells that form the outer layer of a tissue, endothelial cells that create a layer ...

A growing number of new studies have found that, at least for some cells, death isn’t the end, but the beginning of something wholly unexpected.

Taurine, a common ingredient in energy drinks and supplements, was found to fuel the growth of aggressive leukemia cells. Leukemia cells use a specific transporter protein to absorb taurine, and ...

Then they used electroporation to slip them into K562 cells, a human cancer cell line. Loss of fluorescence showed that the cells rapidly degraded CTAPs. Inhibiting ubiquitination and the proteasome, ...

The single-celled parasite Entamoeba histolytica infects 50 million people each year, killing nearly 70,000. Usually, this wily, shape-shifting amoeba causes nothing worse than diarrhea. But sometimes ...

If the pluripotent stem cells can be turned into precursors to egg and sperm cells, the feat could potentially be a big deal for giant panda conservation.
