A bioreactor is a useful thing to have in any biology lab. Fundamentally, it’s a tank in which biological activity can be nurtured and controlled. [The Thought Emporium] needed a visual aid for an ...

When it comes to organic processes that we can leverage to tackle the runaway problem of climate change, the carbon-absorbing abilities of algae may be one of the most potent tools at our disposal.

A fully-automated bioreactor to culture human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) long-term has been developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Translational Center for Regenerative Therapies.

Xcellerex XDR MO Fermentor Systems from GE Healthcare come in two sizes: 50 L and 500 L. (The 500-L system, the Xcellerex XDR 500 MO, is shown here.) According to the company, these single-use stirred ...

A rotating device developed by NASA inventors to grow better living tissue specimens was inducted into the Space Technology Hall of Fame Thursday, April 14. The Space Foundation honored the NASA team ...

Schematic of a typical bioreactor. Key components include the reactor tank, agitation system, feeding pump, thermal jacket, submerged aerator, and sensor probes for monitoring and maintaining optimal ...

No Degree. No Diploma. Just Pure Curiosity. A 16-year old high school student built a replicator for “mini-brains,” and it is way better than its more expensive commercial counterparts. In fact, it ...

Researchers have developed a hollow fiber bioreactor that mimics a circulatory system, overcoming challenges in tissue thickness and nutrient delivery. This breakthrough enables the scalable ...

A new algae bioreactor can suck as much carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere as roughly an acre of forest — potentially giving dense cities a new weapon in the fight against catastrophic climate ...

Scientists at UC San Francisco are working on a new approach to treating kidney failure that could one day free people from needing dialysis or having to take harsh drugs to suppress their immune ...

A new tool to rapidly grow cancer-killing white blood cells could advance the availability of immunotherapy, a promising therapy which harnesses the power of the body's immune response to target ...
