NIH’s Bold Move: Ending Exclusive Funding for Animal-Only Research and Embracing Human-Relevant Alternatives

NIH’s Bold Move: Ending Exclusive Funding for Animal-Only Research and Embracing Human-Relevant Alternatives In a landmark announcement earlier this month, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) declared it will no longer develop new funding opportunities focused solely on animal models of human disease. This policy shift, effective immediately for new Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) and … Continue reading NIH’s Bold Move: Ending Exclusive Funding for Animal-Only Research and Embracing Human-Relevant Alternatives

Why Morphology Monitoring Matters in Mammalian Cell Culture

Why Morphology Monitoring Matters in Mammalian Cell Culture Introduction In mammalian cell culture, morphology is more than just appearances – it’s a vital indicator of cellular health, behavior, and function. Morphology monitoring, when done consistently, provides a powerful early warning system for contamination, stress, or undesired phenotypic drift. Without it, researchers may miss critical changes … Continue reading Why Morphology Monitoring Matters in Mammalian Cell Culture

Why Mycoplasma Testing Is Critical for Mammalian Cell Cultures

Why Mycoplasma Testing Is Critical for Mammalian Cell Cultures Introduction Mycoplasma contamination is one of the most persistent and problematic threats in mammalian cell culture. These tiny, bacteria can silently infiltrate cultures, distorting experimental results and compromising the integrity of cell culture production. Despite their size, their impact is enormous ranging from altered cell growth … Continue reading Why Mycoplasma Testing Is Critical for Mammalian Cell Cultures
