Cryopreservation and lyophilization processes are widely used for conservation purposes in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and food industries or in medical transplantation. Such processes deal with extremely low temperatures (e.g., -196 degrees C) a ...
The Living Arch is a study model that was designed to showcase our ongoing research into bioactive architectural systems to be inhabited by honeybees. The arch is a synergistic combination of 3D printing and active mycelia growth, created for a museum exhi ...
The present invention concerns a biological material pooling device for biological or biomolecule purification comprising a receptacle including a first orifice comprising ordefining a rectangular opening, the receptacle being configured to receive at leas ...
Identifying individual animals is crucial for many biological investigations. In response to some of the limitations of current identification methods, new automated computer vision approaches have emerged with strong performance. Here, we review current a ...
