Playing the Dungeon Meshi theme song on repeat so I can pretend I’m going on a fun food adventure rather than spend the next 8hrs being bullied by cells in a flask

Vaccines and Fetal Cells

Q: Do COVID-19 vaccines contain aborted fetal cells? A: No vaccines contain aborted fetal cells. Vaccines that require viral culture during manufacturing use culture media containing cells derived from fetal cells from an elective abortion performed in the 1970s but the cells are not put into the vaccine. Patients with ethical concerns on this point can opt for the Pfizer or Moderna, Inc. vaccines, which do not require viral culture at any point in the manufacturing process.

Reposted from @cellularblueprints (@get_regrann) - Here you see two hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes stained for the sarcomeric protein alpha-actinin 2 (green) and the cytoskeletal protein actin (red) forming microfilaments. These cells were genome edited with the CRISPR/Cas9 technology. In this process one gene, which is carrying a mutation that causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, was successfully repaired in vitro. This technology enables scientists to generate isogenic controls, which have the same genetic background as the patient-derived diseased cells and are therefore extremely useful for disease modeling of inherited diseases. . . . . #hipsc #biology #science #biologist #microscopy #medicine #humaninducedpluripotentstemcellderivedcardiomyocytes #humaninducedpluripotentstemcells #cellculture #carlzeiss #natural #biologos #scientificimage #chemistry #human #interesting #immunofluorescence #heartcell #biological #thermofisherscientific #thermofisher #crispr #CRISPR/Cas9 #genomeediting - #regrann (en Urb Los Ficus - Santa Anita) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ZQiV_llTK/?igshid=1gsuvn7i9tw5o

Cell culture for a Chromosomic study

[bacillus-studious]

After conducting heat shock, we plated our bacteria along with a control bacteria which already had the Kanamycin resistant plasmid. By plating on Kanamycin, we can ensure that only transformed bacteria are grown. As you can see, quite a lot of our bacteria was effectively transformed since we had a LOT of growth on our ligation plate!

We’re working on transforming bacteria using plasmids this week!  First we ligated the kanamycin resistance gene to a plasmid, and now we’re testing to see if the ligation was carried out correctly using gel electrophoresis.  If we see DNA bands of 4,300 bp in our ligated solution, we’ll know that the ligation was carried out successfully since the plasmid is 3,000 bp and the kanamycin gene is 1,300 bp.  Sometimes the plasmids and genes get ligated together incorrectly so it’s important to check to make sure the solution contains viable plasmids for use in transformation.
