Automation of large scale transient protein expression in mammalian cells [PDF]
Traditional mammalian expression systems rely on the time-consuming generation of stable cell lines; this is difficult to accommodate within a modern structural biology pipeline.

Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

Novel design of biplanar electrodes in a multiwell plate for transepithelial electrical resistance measurement in 3D cell cultures [PDF]
Recent advances in microphysiological systems have underscored the need for novel sensing and monitoring systems specifically designed for three-dimensional (3D) cell culture. In this article, an original architecture of a cell-culture multiwell plate embedding an impedance spectroscopy monitoring system is presented alongside a fast and ...

In vitro culture of the fastidious bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus in association with insect feeder cells [PDF]
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus (LAS) is vectored by psyllids and is able to proliferate inside the insect. We therefore hypothesize that insect cells could act like feeder cells, providing nutrients in a continuous way and a favorable environment to the ...

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

A chemotaxis-based explanation of spheroid formation in 3D cultures of breast cancer cells [PDF]
Three-dimensional cultures of cells are gaining popularity as an in vitro improvement over 2D Petri dishes. In many such experiments, cells have been found to organize in aggregates. We present new results of three-dimensional in vitro cultures of breast cancer cells exhibiting patterns.

A comparative study of circulating tumor cell isolation and enumeration technologies in lung cancer
Lung cancer cells were spiked into donor blood to evaluate the recovery rates of the following circulating tumor cell (CTC) enrichment technologies: CellMag™, EasySep™, RosetteSep™, Parsortix® PR1, and Parsortix® Prototype systems. Each method's advantages and disadvantages are described.
