and Manfred Wuttig, professor of materials science and engineering at Maryland, published their findings in Nature("Non-Joulian Magnetostriction").

The researchers studied the squeezed B cells in culture and found that they could expand antigen-specific T cells at least as well as existing methods using antibody-coated beads.
that we can culture the entire construct over prolonged periods of time, and that we can repopulate the vascular system and musculature."
At the same time, populations of muscle and vascular cells were being grown in culture. The research team then cultured the forelimb matrix in a bioreactor, within
After five days in culture electrical stimulation was applied to the potential limb graft to further promote muscle formation,
"We were able to demonstrate that we could make this scaffold and culture cells within it,
called Body-on-a-Chip (BOC), replacing the 2d cell culture conventionally used for drugs testing with a multi-tissue device that better mimics real-life conditions in the body, by combining several organ
-specific 3d cultures into a single chip. Researchers then created a prototype BOC to assess the toxicological risk of new candidate compounds
The problem with this is that 2d cell cultures can lose their functionality within about 48 hours, in the case of liver cells for instance
Scientists on the BOC project loaded 3d cell cultures (spheroid micro-tissues representative of human organs such as the liver or heart) into compartments connected by tiny tubes,
This metabolite toxicity can't be detected by classic 2d culture. Commercial multi-tissue device could be ready in three years A device comprising rat cells,
and they developed early prototypes with six and eight compartments that the project demonstrated could be extended to human cell cultures. arly-stage backing from the EU has helped really us develop a robust prototype
According to their paper, their 3-D organ outperforms existing 2-D cultures and can produce activated B cells up to 100 times faster.

"Church says. These modified E coli bacteria essentially speak a different genetic language from all other life On earth.
