- Putting stem cell research on the fast track
09-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed tools to help solve two of the main problems slowing the progress of stem cell research -- how to quickly test stem cell response to different drugs or genes, and how to create a large supply of healthy, viable stem cells to study from only a few available cells.

- Brown scientists take the petri dish to new dimensions
09-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
Brown University biomedical engineers have created a new method for growing cells in three dimensions rather than the traditional two. This 3-D petri dish allows cells to self-assemble, creating cell clusters that can be transplanted in the body or used to test drugs in the lab. This simple new technique is part of a growing body of research that shows that 3-D culture techniques can create cells that behave more like cells in the body.

- Researchers create new super-thin laser mirror
02-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
Engineers at UC Berkeley have created a new high-performance mirror that packs the same 99.9 percent reflective punch as current high-grade mirrors, but in a package that is 20 times thinner and easier to manufacture. The new mirror could dramatically improve the design and efficiency of next generation laser optics for such devices as high-definition DVD players, computer circuits and laser printers.
