Features

CalTech Researchers Develop Optofluidic Microscope to Enable Microfluidic Imaging
The system can give a small group of scientists hundreds or even thousands of microscopes with which to image many cells or organisms in parallel, and could allow them to perform microfluidic imaging of a variety of organisms and cell types, without the need for a unwieldy, conventional microscope.

Humanetics Taps EpiStem to Test Rxs to Protect GI Tract from Bioterror Radiation
Backed by a US Department of Defense award to Humanetics, EpiStem will use its screening technology to study 10 potential drug candidates that the US military could use prophylactically in events such as a nuclear or dirty-bomb attack, or other cases of radiation exposure.
