Tolerance to mutations in the foot-and-mouth disease virus integrin-binding RGD region is different in cultured cells and in vivo and depends on the capsid sequence context. [PDF]
Engineered RNAs carrying substitutions in the integrin receptor-binding Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) region of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) were constructed (aa 141-147 of VP1 capsid protein) and their infectivity was assayed in cultured cells and suckling

Liposomal delivery of hydrophobic RAMBAs provides good bioavailability and significant enhancement of retinoic acid signalling in neuroblastoma tumour cells [PDF]
Retinoid treatment is employed during residual disease treatment in neuroblastoma, where the aim is to induce neural differentiation or death in tumour cells.

Homogenization of Mammalian Cultured Cells
Satisfactory homogenization of cultured cells is a necessary prerequisite to any fractionation schedule. Protocols are given for homogenization in iso-osmotic (A) and hypo-osmotic (B) media that should be broadly applicable to any cell type and to any ...

ImmunoFISH for Adherent Cultured Mammalian Cells
This protocol is optimized for immunoFISH staining of adherent cultured mammalian cells. It combines immunofluorescence for DNA damage response factors (e.g. 53BP1) and FISH against telomeric DNA.

Microelectrode arrays of diamond-insulated graphitic channels for real time detection of exocytotic events from cultured chromaffin cells and slices of adrenal glands [PDF]
A microstructured graphitic 4x4 multielectrode array was embedded in a single crystal diamond substrate (4x4 {uG-SCD MEA) for real-time monitoring of exocytotic events from cultured chromaffin cells and adrenal slices.

Microgravity-induced apoptosis in cultured glial cells
Apoptosis is a form of naturally occurring cell death that plays fundamental roles during embryonic developement. In adults, it neatly disposes of cells damaged by injuries provoked by external causes such as UV radiation, ionisation and heat shock ...

Lethal impacts of cigarette smoke in cultured tobacco cells
Background In order to understand and generalize the toxic mechanism of cigarette smoke in living cells, comparison of the data between animal systems and other biological system such as microbial and plant systems is highly beneficial.

A method for isolating and culturing placental cells from failed early equine pregnancies [PDF]
Early pregnancy loss occurs in 6–10% of equine pregnancies making it the main cause of reproductive wastage. Despite this, reasons for the losses are known in only 16% of cases.

Primary osteoblast-like cells from patients with end-stage kidney disease reflect gene expression, proliferation, and mineralization characteristics ex vivo. [PDF]
Osteocytes regulate bone turnover and mineralization in chronic kidney disease. As osteocytes are derived from osteoblasts, alterations in osteoblast function may regulate osteoblast maturation, osteocytic transition, bone turnover, and skeletal ...
