Method for In Vitro Neuron Culture Will Advance Serotonin Research
A method has been developed that enables human serotonin-producing neurons, generated from transformed fibroblasts, to be grown in culture for use as a tool for research and drug discovery on many serotonin-related mental disorders. More...24 Aug 2015

Cancer Researchers Use Fluorescent Tags to Track Dispersion of Tumors During Metastasis
A novel mouse cancer model was developed in which tumor cells with different mutations were labeled with specific fluorescent signals that allowed them to be traced by their unique colors as they left the site of the primary tumor and established themselves in other locations in the body.
