Using the LeadingVibration Isolation Table for Cell Biology Research

CleanBench™ tables are ideal for ensuring optimal performance for high-precision instruments in cell biology research, including Atomic Force and Confocal Microscopes. They feature a unique design that combines ergonomics, stiff, damped top plates, and Gimbal Piston® floor vibration isolation as standard. A wide variety of configuration options and accessories ensures a great match for every application.

			Structure and Function of the Cell Nucleus The cell nucleus is an important organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Its roles include regulating all activity such as cellular metabolism and growth in addition to storing and maintaining the cell’s DNA for transcription and replication.

			Diffusion and Red Blood Cells Animals breathe in oxygen, following which it must be delivered to all the organs in the body. This process involves red blood cells and diffusion.

	Scientists identify new DNA structure within living human cells For the first time, a team of researchers have identified a new DNA structure inside cells that has an entirely different shape to the iconic “double helix” shape uncovered by Watson and Crick in 1953.

	Waking up “sleeping” stem cells in the brain could improve its ability to repair injury Researchers have identified a new type of stem cell that could boost the brain’s ability to repair damage caused by brain injury or disease.

	Novel microscope allows real-time, 3-D visualization of cells Scientists at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Research Campus have developed a microscope which combines two imaging techniques to capture live 3-D images of cells.

	Breakthrough microscope revolutionizes live cell imaging of stem cells Long-term imaging of fine cellular dynamics is today’s biggest challenge in cell biology (Frechin et al., 2015; Kruse & Jülicher, 2005; Kueh, Champhekhar, Nutt, Elowitz, & Rothenberg, 2013; Skylaki, Hilsenbeck, & Schroeder, 2016) and studying stem cells is probably THE biggest challenge in today’s biological research.
