How to Increase Cell Adherence with a Hypoxia Workstation

The Baker Company

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.

Darker Skin is Stronger, Says New View of Human Skin Color

Thumbnail

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.

Slick Trick a Virus Uses to Spur Cancer Cell Growth Discovered

Thumbnail

In a new study researchers explain how a type of herpesvirus uses mimicry to trick the host cell to produce proteins the virus needs, and to drive cell growth. The findings have implications for how the virus causes cancer.
