  1. An Introduction to Neurons and 3D Human Cortical Spheroids

    The central nervous system (CNS) is a complex network of neurons and glia that play critical roles in human brain function. Neurons are the primary signaling units of the nervous system, responsible for transmitting information throughout the body.

    • A single neuron can contact up to 10,000 other neurons,

  2. The Many Faces of Hepatic Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells

    The Many Faces of Hepatic Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells

    Hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (HSEC) are fascinating cells that are uniquely adapted to their location in the liver. HSEC are found lining micro-vessels in the liver and are extremely specialized endothelial cells. Structurally and functionally they have distinctive features which include: open

  3. What Role do Alveolar Epithelial Cells Play in COVID-19 Disease Progression?

    Alveolar Epithelial Cells

    SARS-CoV-2 is the seventh known coronavirus that causes the human disease known as COVID-19. The virus can grow in cells lining the conducting airways and in alveolar epithelial cells. First, the virus generally enters the body through the nose or mouth. From there, the virus travels down into the alveoli

  4. Gain New Biological Insights with Ready-To-Use Spheroids

    Gain New Biological Insights with Ready-To-Use Spheroids

    Traditional 2D cultures have been used widely over the past decades to study cell biology, molecular biology and conduct translation research such as drug discovery. Cells in 2D culture, however, are forced to adopt a planar morphology and maintain cellular interactions only in lateral directions, altering
