Yet in conventional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures, cells are grown on flat and rigid substrates that often fail to capture the natural 3D environments present in tissue. Learn more about how 3D cell culture has allowed researchers to overcome the limitations of 2D models.

Read More Management Tips Creating a Collaborative Laboratory Reaping the benefits of a truly collaborative environment Collaboration and cooperation may often be viewed as the same thing, but they are quite distinct. Collaboration is not something that leaders can expect to happen naturally in a work environment. Rather, managers need to interact strongly with staff in order to create a collaborative environment. Read More White Papers and Application Notes Thermometric Titration of Acid Number Acid number (AN) determination, a common analysis in the oil industry, is used to monitor oil degradation and acidity. Although standard potentiometric acid-base titrations work well for the determination of AN, they can be time consuming measurements. In this white paper, you will learn more about: Thermometric vs. Potentiometric Titration of AN ASTM D8045 standard of AN determination Click HERE to learn more Feature Article Tarantulas Inspire New Structural Color With the Greatest Viewing Angle Finding opens new potential to mass produce structural colors Inspired by the hair of blue tarantulas, researchers made a structural-colored material that shows consistent color from all viewing directions. This finding overturns the conventional wisdom that long-range order photonic structures are always iridescent. Read More Feature Article Catalyst Adds Fluorine-Containing Groups to Make New Compounds Introducing such groups to potential drugs could make them more effective Drugs that contain one or more fluorine atoms tend to be more stable, more powerful, and easier for the body to absorb. For those reasons, drug developers would like to be able to incorporate fluorine or a fluorine-containing unit known as trifluoromethyl into new experimental drugs, but this has been very difficult to do.
