Vladivostok team knows how to spare living cells in experiments

Far East scientists have developed a system to experiment with living cells, which they say rules out any possibility of killing the cells in tests

Scientists of the Biomedical School at Vladivostok-based Far East Federal University (FEFU) have teamed up with the local company Olimpus to develop what they claim is a brand new system to experiment with living cells. As news agency SakhaNews reported, the system is believed to be able to rule out any possibility of killing the cells in tests. According to Vadim Kumeiko, the head of FEFU?s biomed cell technology laboratory and one of the system developers, the new product will enable experiments with living cells when developing new drugs to assess the impact drug candidates have on a separate cell or the human body as a whole. This is expected to make it possible for researchers to undertake large-scale projects in drug development and the creation of advanced medical technologies...
