3D tumor model may lead to improved ovarian cancer treatment
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News.
Cancer model systems are available to investigate disease mechanisms and to screen therapies. However, two-dimensional (2D) tissue culture models may lack realistic complexity, and may not always show the entire picture needed to improve understanding and treatment of disease. Now, an international team led by the University of Nottingham and Queen Mary University London report they have created a multicellular 3D microenvironment that recreates the way tumor cells grow in ovarian cancer and respond to chemotherapy drugs.

NIH funds first nationwide network to study rare forms of diabetes
NIH
A nationwide study funded by the National Institutes of Health will seek to discover the cause of several unusual forms of diabetes. For years, doctors and researchers have been stymied by cases of diabetes that differ from known types. Through research efforts at 20 U.S. research institutions, the study aims to discover new forms of diabetes, understand what makes them different, and identify their causes.

How nonprofit foundations can sustainably fund disease research
Harvard Business Review
The science driving precision medicine — specific therapies developed for narrowly defined groups of patients, often using genetic or molecular profiling — is advancing rapidly. But science is not enough. Exploiting these opportunities requires significant capital. That’s because research to develop a new treatment and bring a new drug to market is extremely expensive, and conventional methods for obtaining funding aren’t adequate.

Ensuring reproducible data in the laboratory
Lab Manager
Sharing interesting observations and measurements about the world around us is at the heart of the scientific process, so that others can learn and repeat the experiments. New scientific learning and theories are recognized when a consensus of scientists practicing in a specific area is reached about the experimental outcomes.

A small switch with a big impact
ScienceDaily
T cells play a key role in the human immune system. They are capable of distinguishing diseased or foreign tissue from the body's own, healthy tissue with great accuracy; they are capable of triggering the actions necessary to fight off the troublemakers. The details of this immune response are manifold and the individual steps are not yet fully understood.

24/7 remote cell culture incubation monitoring
Lab Manager
Cell culture is the foundation of numerous applications in life science, pharmaceutical and clinical research. Although the technologies have been advanced worldwide, the basic cell culture process is quite manual and an overall cumbersome routine process. Manual counting and confluency determination are qualitative and subject to individual variability. Further, as the COVID-19 pandemic drives a transition to more remote work, routine monitoring becomes challenging.
