Centrifugal separation harnesses the principle of sedimentation under an imposed rotational field. Rapid rotation generates forces hundreds to thousands of times greater than gravity, accelerating the ...

Using two specialized microscopes invented at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), a team of researchers from Japan and the MBL have developed a new method to measure the forces that keep the ...

Neutrophils are the most abundant and rapidly responding leukocytes in the innate immune system, playing a central role in host defence, inflammation and tissue repair. Because they cannot be expanded ...

Isolation of viable mononuclear and polymorphonuclear cells from blood serves as the starting point for a wide spectrum of immunology and cell biology studies. Unlike red blood cells and platelets, ...
