Scrap the Tip: How CytCut Is Eliminating ~200 Tons of Laboratory Plastic Waste
Scientific research has a plastic problem. Every year, laboratories perform an estimated 3 million "scratch assays" using disposable pipette tips, generating around 200 tons of contaminated plastic waste that cannot be recycled. CytCut offers a solution: a reusable device that eliminates this waste at the source. By replacing single-use tips and improving experimental reproducibility, CytCut cuts carbon footprints by up to 11-fold, proving that science can be rigorous without

What Is Happening At The Edge Of The Cell Migration?
Ever wondered what's really happening at the edge of your scratch assay? It's more than just an empty gap—it's a bustling frontier of cellular transformation. Cells at the wound edge aren't just sitting there; they are undergoing a profound morphological shift, polarizing their bodies, sprouting sheet-like lamellipodia, and gripping the substrate to pull themselves forward. This isn't an artifact; it's the beautiful, complex biology of cell migration in action.
