Quality is important in all aspects of tissue culture since the quality of materials used i.e. media and other reagents) will affect the quality of the cultures and products derived from them. The main areas of quality control that are of concern for tissue culture are: The quality of the reagents and materials; The provenance and integrity of the cell lines; The avoidance of microbial contamination. - [Read Quality Control Considerations for Cell Culture]

In the past two decades, there have been many revolutions in light microscopy techniques made possible by improvements in optics, detector technology, and computers. Furthermore, there is no indication that the rate of development of new equipment is slowing down. Here we attempt to provide an overview of available options and important considerations applicable to imaging Drosophila cells and tissues. - [Read Selection of Appropriate Imaging Equipment and Methodology for Live Cell Imaging in Drosophila]
The protocol gives general considerations for the design of targeting vectors for transgenic mice. The protocol shares tips in the design of knock-out and knock-in vectors and some of their strategies for producing homologously recombined embryonic stem cells.
