Trouble With Your Primary Cells? Treat Them Nicely!
What seems basic to cell culturing is pure stress for primary cells: thawing, subcultivation and freezing. Even seasoned scientists tend to overlook this aspect, and manipulate their cultures less carefully than they should. Unhealthy, or even dead cells are the sad consequence. Here, you can benefit from an expert’s tips in handling primary cells,…

Malignant mesothelioma: Paving the way for new therapies
From bench to bedside and back: This is the direction of malignant mesothelioma research. Yet to understand the biology of this particular type of cancer, more basic insights are still needed. And translating that knowledge into new therapies is extremely important, as only limited therapeutic options exist so far.
Molecular needles that cross the lung epithelium: That’s how asbestos – often in form of dust – enters lung tissue (Carbone et al.,…

CRISPR/Cas9: The Genome Editing Revolution
The genetic code is the blueprint of an organism written on a stable molecule class: deoxyribonucleic acid. With the method CRISPR/Cas9, editing the genetic information has become much easier. This technique is a blessing for basic scientists, as well as for translational researchers such as Dr. Kathleen Börner, who wants to develop a gene therapy for infections caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)….

Studying oxidative stress and skin aging using in vitro human cell culture models
Oxidative stress results from an imbalance of pro- and anti-oxidants and leads to faster skin aging, inflammation and disease. Cell assays and primary cells provide the tools researchers need to study the oxidative process and its association with skin aging….
