Researchers publish findings on use of a more Human-Like Cell Culture Medium to explore gene essentiality
Biochemists have utilized a new cell culture medium to ask how critical genes are to the survival and reproduction of human cells under different growth conditions. The technique could have important ramifications for the treatment of human diseases. Cell culture media are designed to provide a sheltered and nutritive environment to support cell survival and …
Peering into a more ‘human’ petri dish
Cell culture media, the cocktail of chemicals and nutrients that keep cells alive and thriving in a dish, have been an essential tool of biology for more than 70 years. Jason Cantor is thinking about cell culture media from another angle: Can we make it more human?
