💸 Stem cell culture that’s ~95% cheaper and weekend-free: a win-win for PIs and trainees!
Our revised manuscript is online at ORE: open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/articles/4-1...
Benchmarked across cell lines & differentiation protocols, including scRNA-seq — with lessons for #cultivatedmeat too!

With Christmas just around the corner, it’s time for the #FluorescenceFriday post🎄!
This week, we’re featuring a hiPSC reporter line engineered to express 2 fluorescent proteins—located in the nuclei and actin filaments of #hiPSCs, generated using STRAIGHT-IN Dual🧪🔬
