 | | A common concern in current cell culture methods is the amount of vibration that cells are exposed to from the integral fans when housed within a workstation. Exposure to vibration can lead to possible detrimental effects on the adherence of in vitro cell cultures. This study examines the adhesion of monolayer cells inside a standard incubator compared to a SCI-tive hypoxia workstation, which are a class of closed cell culture incubated workstations designed to continuously recirculate the atmosphere with user-defined O2 and CO2 levels. | |

| | NEWS | | Popular theories of why our human ancestors gained and then lost dark skin over the course of evolution may be incorrect, according to a new paper suggesting that heavily pigmented skin evolved because it forms a stronger barrier against a host of environmental challenges. Because deeply pigmented skin requires more energy to produce, they propose, our ancestors shed some of these pigments through natural selection as they moved north and needed less protection against these threats.
