Gamifying cell culture training: The ‘Seru-Otchi’ experience for undergraduates

Gamifying cell culture training: The ‘Seru-Otchi’ experience for undergraduates

by apolozio | May 6, 2024 | Publications

For novice student researchers, acquiring the necessary specialized knowledge before their initial laboratory experience can be a formidable task. We have developed an educational and interactive virtual cell culture environment to help students learn. This...
Researchers make major strides toward an all-purpose biosensor chip

Researchers make major strides toward an all-purpose biosensor chip

Braingeneers develop novel method to automate the growth of brain tissue organoids on a chip The new system can increase reproducibility in cerebral organoid research and shows promise for lowering levels of cellular stress Emily Cerf | UCSC | November 28, 2022 A team...
Establishing Cerebral Organoids as Models of Human-Specific Brain Evolution

Establishing Cerebral Organoids as Models of Human-Specific Brain Evolution

by yavasque | Oct 20, 2019 | Publications

Summary Direct comparisons of human and non-human primate brains can reveal molecular pathways underlying remarkable specializations of the human brain. However, chimpanzee tissue is inaccessible during neocortical neurogenesis when differences in brain size first...

A non-enzymatic glucose sensor enabled by bioelectronic pH control

by yavasque | Oct 7, 2019 | Publications

Summary Continuous glucose monitoring from sweat and tears can improve the quality of life of diabetic patientsand provide data for more accurate diagnosis and treatment. Current continuous glucose sensors useenzymes with a one-to-two week lifespan, which forces...
Human-Specific NOTCH2NL Genes Affect Notch Signaling and Cortical Neurogenesis.

Human-Specific NOTCH2NL Genes Affect Notch Signaling and Cortical Neurogenesis.

by ktkhuu | Jun 3, 2019 | Publications

Summary: Genetic changes causing brain size expansion in human evolution have remained elusive. Notch signaling is essential for radial glia stem cell proliferation and is a determinant of neuronal number in the mammalian cortex. We find that three paralogs of...
