Cytocentric Visionaries We are initiating a series of blog posts featuring interviews with outstanding researchers that are changing, at a fundamental level, our understanding of the in vitro world. These researchers, in different countries and...
Compelling Evidence For Oxygen Control During Cord Blood Cell Handling Learn why oxygen control matters for cord blood cells in our post below. We are continuing our discussion of a recent paper in Cell (paywalled) [1] from the Broxmeyer group...
The in vivo Relevance of Past Studies Performed in Room Air A recent paper in Cell (paywalled) from the Broxmeyer group at Indiana University coined the term extraphysiologic shock/stress (EPHOSS) to describe a distinct negative effect of...
The Reproducibility Crisis and the CytoCentric Environment There has been a lot of public attention directed at scientific reproducibility, most recently in articles in PLOS Biology, and in the Washington Post. A National Academy of Sciences...
How “Closed” is a Functionally Closed System? Open. Closed. Functionally Closed. What do these terms mean in bioprocessing? Learn about the purpose of functionally closed systems in bioprocessing below. Clear definitions were published in...
Cells Need Protocol There are many ways to use an incubator to grow cells. Many laboratories use the same incubator for many different protocols at the same time. In a perfect lab, the cells in each protocol would stay in their own...
Cells Need Dynamics Learn the reasons dynamic oxygen controls matter in the article below. The cells in the two panels above are the same cultured K562 cells in photomicrographs taken hours apart – except that the cells aren’t really the same,...
