Animal models are non-human species that can be applied to reproduce the disease, diagnosis, and treatment progression that occurs in humans. Animal models are a fundamental tool in biomedical research and have many applications and advantages. However, many scientists are…
Animal models are used to study the effects of drugs and chemicals before testing them on human volunteers. Every year, millions of experimental animals are used all over the world for the advancement of research and development in medical technology.…
Regenerative medicine refers to the method of replacing, engineering or regenerating human or animal cells, tissues, or organs with the aim to restore normal physiological functions (1). It has the potential to engineer damaged tissues and organs by triggering the…
Since the introduction of monolayer cell cultures, cell culture methods have advanced exponentially in the past decade, moving from traditional 2D cell culture methods to 3D cultures. While 2D cultures are simple and allows for cell proliferation and differentiation, they…
Fluorescence is the property of some atoms and molecules to absorb radiation at a particular wavelength and subsequently emit light at a longer wavelength upon excitation of the atoms. A fluorescence microscope is a powerful optical tool that works based…
Cryoprotectants are crucial in storing biological samples at a deep cryogenic temperature. Cryoprotecting agents lower the melting point of water when dissolved in it and prevent ice formation by increasing the total concentration of all the solutes present in the…
Three-dimensional (3D) organoid technology has become popular among researchers in the past decade because of its ability to recapitulate the physiology and genetics of organs or tissue samples. Despite the promising applications of organoids in basic research, a lot of…
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Cryopreservation is the process of storing and preserving structurally intact biological material at low temperatures. Cryopreservation is a key activity in many culture cell labs providing a stable and safe way to store organisms, organelles, tissue, cells, and other biological…
Cryopreservation is the process of preserve living samples by cooling them to a very low temperature. Cryopreservation plays a crucial role in basic research as well as clinical applications. For instance, cells and other viable tissues cannot be stored for…
Organoids are miniaturized tissue cultures that are derived from stem cells or tissue-specific progenitor cells. Organoids have made it possible to create individual, complex, and self-organizing 3D tissue cultures bearing a resemblance to a patient’s own organ or tissue. This…
