A variety of analytical approaches have indicated that melanoma cell line UCLA‐SO‐M14
(M14) and breast carcinoma cell line MDA‐MB‐435 originate from a common donor. This …

Recent work points to a lack of diversity in genomics studies from genome-wide association
studies to somatic (tumor) genome analyses. Yet, population-specific genetic variation has …

In recent years, it has been recognized that mechanical forces play an important regulative
role in living organisms and possess a direct impact on crucial cell functions, ranging from …

The use of misidentified and contaminated cell lines continues to be a problem in
biomedical research. Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) should reduce the prevalence …

Cell lines are essential models for biomedical research. However, they have a common and
important problem that needs to be addressed. Cell lines can be misidentified, meaning that …
