Hi Karen,
Before you head off to the beach or pack your bag for your favorite weekend escape, take a minute to see what's new at InSphero! In this month's newsletter, we invite you to join us at an exciting new scientific symposium on translational applications of 3D cell culture technologies. You'll also find out about:
- A new production alert service designed to help you plan for 3D microtissue experiments in advance
- A technical protocol for running a GSIS assay with 3D InSight™ Human Islet Microtissues
- Our cameo appearance on a recent episode of the Improbable Success documentary series.
Have a great summer!
