Transcriptomics: Advancements in RNA-seq Time Course and Downstream Analysis
In this review Daniel Spies and Constance Ciaudo addresse current challenges on RNA-seq analysis and specifically focuse on new bioinformatics tools developed for time series experiments. Furthermore, possible improvements in analysis, data integration as well as future applications of differential expression analysis are discussed.
Nanostructured Pluronic hydrogels as bioinks for 3D bioprinting
Bioprinting allows the precise positioning of biologically relevant materials in 3D, which more resembles the native tissue in our body than current homogenous, bulk approaches. In this paper researchers from the Zenobi-Wong group present an approach called nanostructuring to increase the biocompatibility of Pluronic gels at printable concentrations. Their nanostructuring approach enables Pluronic hydrogels to have the desired set of properties in all stages of the bioprinting process.
