In the past few years electron microscopes have become increasingly faster, increasing their overall throughput. However, this throughput improvement can only be used effectively if sample preparation is able to keep up with the image acquisition. The main bottleneck here lies in the fact that sample preparation requires several time-consuming …

My son is an engineer and my daughter has a business degree. From the very start of their undergraduate experiences, they were provided with ample resources and a positive perspective on the transition to a post-academic career. This training was “included” with their tuition, so to speak. 

Stem cell stocks, meaning cellular therapy biotech companies, face many challenges, but their clinical research is crucial. These biotechs have ups and downs, sometimes at the same time. This is kind of the standard of “life” as any biotech company. It is definitely the case in the volatile stem cell …

There are weeks when it seems like papers on stem cells keep popping up. It can be a challenge to keep up with reading all the papers you want to read. Other times it is cell biology news that keeps breaking. The big news of the past week or so …

Cryo-FIB milling is used to thin biological samples so the samples can be imaged with cryo-ET. This stage of the sample preparation benefits from an integrated FLM to image the sample during milling. One of the main advantages is that the region of interest (ROI) can be located easily based …

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has both a land-based and a maritime component. This graphic provides an overview of the maritime element, the Maritime Silk Road Initiative (MSRI) which connects China to Europe and Africa via the Middle East. For an insight into the BRI in the Middle East, …

Somehow time has flown by so that I’ve been around for ages in the stem cell universe and some unproven stem cell clinic type firms, like the well-known Panama stem cell clinic that sells autism “treatments”, are also long-timers. It’s been an odd parallel existence for more than a decade. …

In its judgment of 16 February 2021 in Hanan v Germany, [1] the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (‘the ECtHR’) confirmed that the European Convention on Human Rights (‘the ECHR’) applies extraterritorially to the conduct of armed forces deployed abroad by Contracting States. The case thus …

I didn’t plan to get a master’s degree. I wanted to be a scientist and you need a PhD to be a scientist, or so I thought. So I entered a molecular and cellular biology PhD program in 2011, which I left four years later with a master’s. At the …

Multilateralism reached its low point in 2020 with the crystallization of the confrontation between major global powers, the further rise of nationalism, deglobalisation and trade protectionism that even threatened access to medical products and more recently Covid-19 vaccines in the midst of a pandemic. The latter profoundly affected global health, …
