Subcloning is a technique where single cells are cultured individually and then grown into a cell line. The technique is similar to the iPSC except the subcloned cells are not treated with the reprogramming factors that were thought to cause mutations.

But the rapid development of nanoparticle carriers has run into a major bottleneck. Read More Feature Article The Contradictory Catalyst The key to speeding up the rate of reaction of a catalyst for energy storage lies in making the reactive parts move more slowly One reason we can't bottle summer sunshine and save the solar energy for rainy days is that we don't have an efficient way to store it. Nature stores energy in chemical bonds, like when plants photosynthesize our food.
