A miniaturized bioreactor system for the evaluation of cell interaction with designed substrates in perfusion culture [PDF]
In tissue engineering, the chemical and topographical cues within three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds are normally tested using static cell cultures but applied directly to tissue cultures in perfusion bioreactors.

In vitro cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of donkey milk on lung cancer and normal cells lines
In vitro cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of donkey milk on cancer (A549) and normal (BEAS-2B) lung cell lines were investigated. The XTT and WST-1 tests as well as clonogenic assays were used to evaluate cytotoxicity.

Development and cytotoxic response of two proliferative MDA- MB-231 and non-proliferative SUM1315 three-dimensional cell culture models of triple-negative basal-like breast cancer cell lines [PDF]
Triple-Negative Basal-Like tumors, representing 15 to 20% of breast cancers, are very aggressive and with poor prognosis. Targeted therapies have been developed extensively in preclinical and clinical studies to open the way for new treatment strategies.

Metabolic Regulatory Network Kinetic Modeling with Multiple Isotopic Tracers for iPSCs [PDF]
The rapidly expanding market for regenerative medicines and cell therapies highlights the need to advance the understanding of cellular metabolisms and improve the prediction of cultivation production process for human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In this paper, a metabolic kinetic model was developed to characterize underlying mechanisms of

A low-cost, user-friendly rheo-optical compression assay to measure mechanical properties of cell spheroids in standard cell culture plates [PDF]
The mechanical characterization of cell spheroids, one of the most widely used 3D biology models in vitro, is a hotspot of current research on the role played by the mechanical response of cells and tissues. The techniques proposed so far in the literature, while providing important scientific insights, require a specialized equipment and technical ...
