Researchers use transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) to assess barrier integrity in epithelial and endothelial models. The method offers a direct, real-time signal without damaging the cells under study. Despite this simplicity, many labs struggle with inconsistent or drifting results, undermining confidence in their data. These issues rarely stem from biology alone and often reflect preventable Read More…

The Science Behind Clean Cuts: Why Blade Quality Matters
Precision shapes every aspect of manufacturing and fabrication; it’s what separates a job well done from a costly mistake. Whether it’s crafting an aerospace part or an everyday item, the final product’s integrity rides on the quality of each separate piece. Almost always, it all starts with a single crucial step: the cut. Understanding the Read More…
The Need For Climate-Conscious Agriculture
The Need For Climate-Conscious Agriculture “to counteract the amount of Carbon Dioxide emitted each year by the world’s fossil fuel-burning, an area the size of Australia would have to be planted with trees.” Several years back, two researchers stated something troubling. Joachim Van Braun and Rajul Pandya-Lorch of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), Read More…
