This comprehensive overview of the historical milestones in cell culture underscores key breakthroughs that have shaped the field over time. It begins with Wilhelm Roux's seminal experiments in the 1880s, followed by the pioneering efforts of Ross Granville Harrison, who initiated groundbreaking experiments that fundamentally shaped the landscape of cell culture in the early 20th century. Carrel's influential contributions, notably the immortalization of chicken heart cells, have marked a significant advancement in cell culture techniques.

In spring 2022, the inaugural cohort of Genetic and Genomic Counseling MSc students graduated from the Medical University of Innsbruck, representing a significant milestone for the establishment of the genetic counselor (GC) profession in the German-speaking countries. A pivotal component of their education was a 15-week clinical training period. The placement experiences of both students and supervisors offered valuable insights into the attitudes of medical geneticists toward the profession.

, a model organism in telomere biology, has been instrumental in pioneering a comprehensive understanding of the molecular processes that occur in the absence of telomerase across eukaryotes. This exploration spans investigations into telomere dynamics, intracellular signaling cascades, and organelle-mediated responses, elucidating their impact on proliferative capacity, genome stability, and cellular variability. Through the lens of budding yeast, numerous sources of cellular heterogeneity have been identified, dissected, and modeled, shedding light on the risks associated with telomeric state transitions, including the evasion of senescence.
