Image: The top image shows a patch of epithelial cells. The white lines in the middle image mark the electric current flowing from positive to negative over the cells. The bottom image shows how the cells track the electric field, with blue indicating leftward migration and red signaling rightward movement (Photo courtesy of Daniel Cohen, UC Berkeley).

Scientists “Herd” Cells with Electrical Currents in Tissue Engineering Application

Researchers discovered that an electrical current can be used to organize the flow of a collection of cells, an achievement that could provide more controlled ways of tissue engineering. More...

Image: Electron micrograph reveals the morphologic traits of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The virion is variable in shape, and size (average diameter of between 120–300 nm). RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia among infants and children under one year of age (Photo courtesy of the CDC - [US] Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

Human Cell Line Produces High-Quality RSV for Vaccine Production

Cooperation between German and American biotechnology companies may pave the way for development of a vaccine to prevent RSV respiratory infections, which have been estimated to cause nearly 7% of the deaths of infants that die during their first year of life.  More...
