Scientists discover the molecular trigger of Necroptosis

Researchers have uncovered a trigger for an immune-related cell death pathway called necroptosis. The discovery could be used to develop new treatments for cancer and immune disorders.

Plasma Cleaning Fibrous Scaffolds for Cell Culturing

Plasma treatment removes nanoscale organic contamination and improves wetting properties on surfaces without affecting the bulk material. A clean, hydrophilic surface can enhance cell attachment and proliferation on substrates and fibrous scaffolds used for cell culturing.

Study sheds light on the early stages of tumorigenesis

Researchers from Osaka University have discovered how precancerous cells spread to normal tissue and cause cancer.
