iPS cells from dish to freezer and back

Researchers at Kobe University developed a method to preserve iPS cells directly in their culture dishes using D-proline as a cryoprotectant. This allows for easy automation of the process, reducing costs and increasing efficiency in regenerative medicine and drug discovery research. The breakthrough enables the direct freezing, thawin...

Integrated analysis of serum and fecal metabolites reveals the role of bile acid metabolism in drug-induced liver injury: Implications for diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers

Researchers identified bile acid metabolites as potential biomarkers for diagnosing and predicting drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Chenodeoxycholic acid and deoxycholic acid were found to distinguish DILI patients from healthy individuals, exhibiting predictive potential for chronicity.
