Date: June 22, 1998 Insect Cell Culture Media, Suppliers of Primary Cell Culture Media Advantages for Protein Expression Studies Since the mid-1950s cultures of insects--cockroaches, fruit flies, and leafhoppers, to name a few--have been the object of quiet study by physiologists and cell biologists. But along came genetic engineering and suddenly insect cultures have been put in the spotlight since they provide advantages over both bacterial and mammalian systems for recombinant protein prod

New details of the molecular process by which our cells consume themselves point to therapeutic potential.

A chromosome-scale genome sequence for this infamous agricultural pest could help mitigate its plagues.

Once believed to be unique to birds and mammals, sleep is found across the metazoan kingdom. Some animals, it seems, can’t live without it, though no one knows exactly why.

With dogged persistence and an unwillingness to entertain defeat, Bruce Beutler discovered a receptor that powers the innate immune response to infections—and earned his share of a Nobel Prize.

The COVID-19 pandemic is still with us. Biomedical innovation has rallied to address that pressing concern while continuing to tackle broader research challenges.

"Lots of companies come out with media or reagents for this or that, and make a big splash, but they're all basically derivatives of traditional products," says Hayden Coon, a former National Institutes of Health re-searcher who is the founder of Human Cell Therapies Inc. of Chebeague Island, Maine.

Regularly taking breaks from eating—for hours or days—can trigger changes both expected, such as in metabolic dynamics and inflammation, and surprising, as in immune system function and cancer progression.

If one out of three people develops cancer, that means two others don’t. Understanding why could lead to insights relevant to prevention and treatment.
