Svetlana Soboleva is set to defend her Ph.D. thesis on 13 April, 2022. For the past few years her world has revolved around red blood cells, as she has worked to establish methods that allow for the generation of enucleated cells, using immortalized erythroid cell lines, to develop erythrocytes. In short, she’s been working to find ways to produce red blood cells in a lab. In this interview she te

A team of researchers at Lund University in Sweden has developed a fluorescent variant of a molecule that inhibits cancer stem cells. Capturing images of when the molecule enters a cell has enabled the researchers, using cell-biological methods, to successfully describe how and where the molecule counteracts the cancer stem cells. Salinomycin is a molecule produced by terrestrial bacteria of the s
