Accelerating Antibody Discovery with Next-Generation Single-Cell

Picodroplet-based single cell analysis can overcome numerous challenges in the industry. First, the need for high-throughput yet gentle technology that enables the deep interrogation of whole B-cell repertoires and hybridoma populations while preserving cell viability. Second, the need for highly sensitive and specific assays to find rare antibody-secreting cells with the desired antibody characteristics.

Study reveals how stem cells are defined by collective cell dynamics

Human life without stem cells is unimaginable. Thanks to stem cells, a cluster of cells turns into an organ, and tissues of the human body can be renewed.

	Study reveals the degradation mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum A team of researchers have analyzed the degradation mechanism of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) called ER-phagy.

	Study shows how motor proteins function in their native crowded cell environments Several diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, have been associated with the defective functioning of motor proteins involved in cell transport.

	Study reveals the role of embryonic stem cells in cell repair Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a self-eating process that occurs in embryonic stem cells.

	New method of communication relies on ‘mechano-chemical’ signals to control cell movement Cells work around the clock to deliver, maintain, and control every aspect of life. And just as with humans, communication is a key to their success.
