Under the Microscope With ScinticaApplication Note: Bioprinting Beyond the Limitations of Traditional Cancer ModelsIn this episode, we explore whether a reductionist approach in cancer research is a limitation—or an opportunity. Bioprinting is emerging as a transformative technology that enables the creation of complex 3D tumor models, allowing researchers to study cancer in ways that better reflect human physiology. We discuss how bioprinting addresses the shortcomings of traditional 2D cultures and animal models, and how it empowers scientists to isolate and examine specific variables within the tumor microenvironment. From personalized tumor models to high-throughput drug screening and ethical advantages, bioprinting is reshaping the path toward more predictive and effective therapies. Join us as...

Under the Microscope With ScinticaUnder the Microscope | A Non-Linear Journey Into Research | Science PodcastWelcome to another episode of Under the Microscope with Scintica. On this episode, we have two special guests, Dr. Ben Rush & Dr. Jevin Lortie. Dr.Jevin Lortie is currently conducting post-doctoral research at the University of Wisconsin - Madison in the Nutritional Sciences Department. He grew up in the Chicago, Illinois area. He was first introduced to science by experimenting with cooking and baking. His current research involves muscle imaging, gut microbiome, and heart failure. Dr. Ben Rush attended Indiana University Bloomington for his undergrad and masters in public health, where he served as a...

Under the Microscope With ScinticaGet to Know Dr. James Trosko, Professor Emeritus, Part 4Welcome to the final part of the Under the Microscope series with Dr. James Trosko!Dr. James Trosko received his Ph.D. in radiation genetics. Later, Dr. Trosko did a postdoctoral fellowship at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (1963-66) under Drs. Ernest Chu, Sheldon Wolf, and Richard B. Setlow in DNA damage/repair and in vitro mutagenesis. He issued the first paper showing that normal human cells could repair their UV-damaged DNA. Moreover, He was highlighted on the cover of Cancer Research as one of the researchers who linked gap junctions to the carcinogenesis process. He created the...

Under the Microscope With ScinticaGet to Know Bruce Arthur Young , PhDDr. Young's current research area is the neurobiology and biophysics of sensory systems, and particularly audition, in reptiles. Audition in this group is remarkably diverse, including pressure-coupled tympani in some taxa; tympanic and non-tympanic ears; elaborate stapedial dampening systems; separate low-frequency and high-frequency auditory pathways; as well as integration with pressure and/or vibration detection systems. A second area of research is the neurobiology of venom secretion, storage, and activation.
