COVID-19 test offers solution for population-wide testing, scientists say: More than 80,000 tests done in under two months
In an article appearing in Nature Biomedical Engineering, a team of scientists from the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and UCLA School of Engineering report real-world results on SwabSeq, a high-throughput testing platform that uses sequencing to test thousands of samples at a time to detect COVID-19. They were able to perform more than […]
Sleeper cells: Newly discovered stem cell resting phase could put brain tumors to sleep: Engineering researchers discover and explore new neural stem cell state that gives insight into cancer
Christopher Plaisier, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, and Samantha O’Connor, a biomedical engineering doctoral student in the Plaisier Lab, are leading research into a new stage of the stem cell life cycle that could be the key to unlocking new methods of […]
