EKBs for Science comprise a series of short guides to the latest techniques, applications and equipment used in analytical science and research laboratories.
Researchers and technicians working in both academia and industry will find valuable practical information for their daily work as well as educational content on key developments within specialty fields.
Going 3D in cell culture creates a far more natural environment. That means that 3D cultures provide data that more closely mirror what goes on in physiological conditions. Even gene expression works...
