    Millet’s Undergraduate Students Publish in ‘Biosensors’

    Many biotechnology studies require isolating cells from living tissues. This is often done by mixing tissue samples with enzyme proteins that digest the matrix holding cells together, producing cultures of living cells. Those digestive enzymes are often mixed with other tissue processing reagents (chemicals) in pre-formulated, “ready-to-use” solutions. However, while he was refining an advanced…
