Neuronal cell cultures kept on the straight and narrow
An improved technique for culturing cells, developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), may enable new, fundamental insights into the behavior of neuronal cells. Culturing particular types of cells in isolation is a basic technique for measuring how they respond to various stimuli, testing new drugs, and similar cell biology tasks. Neuronal cells, which make up t...Study IDs protein that inhibits HIV from growing in cell cultures
How a harmless virus called GB Virus type C (GBV-C) protects against HIV infection is now better understood. Researchers at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Iowa City Health Care System and the University of Iowa have identified a protein segment that strongly inhibits HIV from growing in cell models. The team found that an 85-amino acid segment within a GBV-C viral protein called N...New collaborative research reveals chimpanzees can sustain multiple-tradition cultures
The study, available in today’s online edition of Current Biology, confirms captive chimpanzees have the capacity to sustain...CnC (Cn402-05) from European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC)

The Wisconsin Assembly voted late Tuesday night to amend a bill granting tax credits so that any corporation doing research on newly created human embryonic stem cells would be denied. Mirroring federal funding restrictions, the amended bill excludes firms that do any research involving the destruction of human embryos perhaps most significantly to extract stem cells from them after Au...Resident Physicians Need More Preparations To Treat Patients From Different Cultures
Research shows that resident physicians are often less prepared to treat patients from different cultures, especially those with practices that differ from certain medical practices // . According to an article in the September issue of JAMA, many resident physicians report a lack of preparedness in caring for patients with specific cultural characteristics, such as those who have beli...Study IDs Protein That Inhibits HIV From Growing In Cell Cultures
