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.

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.

In the expansive realm of science fiction, spacecraft come in a stunning array of shapes, sizes, and technological capabilities. While much has been said about the iconic vessels in the Star Trek universe, this video takes a refreshing turn to explore a broader landscape of sci-fi. We will delve into the fascinating world of the ten largest spherical structures that have captivated audiences in movies and TV series. From massive space stations to monumental alien constructs, each of these remarkable creations offers unique insights into the imaginative possibilities of the genre.

Think of a future where terminal illnesses can be temporarily halted, allowing time for the development of potential cures.

Human brains take in sensory data at more than 1 billion bits per second, but only process that information at a measly 10 bits per second, new research has found.

“Nowadays we always have our mobile phones or a flashlight, but to see bioluminescence in the forest, it has to be pitch black,” said Rudolf.

They collected some samples of the glowing specimen, originally thinking it was a known bioluminescent species called Mycena haematopus. In their well-lit studio, the artists realized that it was another species called the saffron drop bonnet mushroom (Mycena crocata). While this mushroom is known for its saffron-coloured milk, it had not previously been described as bioluminescent.
