Increasing the biomolecular relevance of cell culture practice
Posted by Logan Thrasher Collins in category: biotech/medical
An informative review on the benefits and drawbacks and biological effects of various kinds of in vitro cell culture media.
The biomolecular relevance of medium supplements is a key challenge affecting cell culture practice. The biomolecular composition of commonly used supplements differs from that of a physiological environment, affecting the validity of conclusions drawn from in vitro studies. This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of common supplements, including context-dependent considerations for supplement selection to improve biomolecular relevance, especially in nanomedicine and extracellular vesicle research.

Cephalopods Pass Cognitive Test Designed For Human Children
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: food, neuroscience
Back in 2021, a test of cephalopod smarts reinforced how important it is for us humans to not underestimate animal intelligence.
Cuttlefish were given a new version of the marshmallow test, and the results may demonstrate that there’s more going on in their strange little brains than we knew.
Their ability to learn and adapt, the researchers said, could have evolved to give cuttlefish an edge in the cutthroat eat-or-be-eaten marine world they live in.
