Platelet lysate as a serum substitute for 2D static and 3D perfusion culture of stromal vascular fraction cells from human adipose tissue [PDF]

, 2009
Fetal bovine serum (FBS) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 are key supplements for the culture of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells from adipose tissue, both for typical monolayer (2D) expansion and for streamlined generation of osteogenic ...

Development of a rapid, simple multiplex PCR-dipstick assay for the detection of Neisseria meningitidis serogroups in clinical isolates

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
The rapid identification and serogrouping of Neisseria meningitidis are crucial for effectively managing invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) patients and their close contacts, particularly in developing countries with limited laboratory resources.

A rapid, low pH, nutrient stress, assay to determine the bactericidal activity of compounds against non-replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

PLoS ONE, 2019
There is an urgent need for new anti-tubercular agents which can lead to a shortened treatment time by targeting persistent or non-replicating bacilli. In order to assess compound activity against non-replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we developed ...

CD106 is a novel mediator of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells via NF-κB in the bone marrow failure of acquired aplastic anemia

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2017
Background Acquired aplastic anemia (AA) is characterized by deficiency or dysfunction of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment. However, little is known about the impairment of BM-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in AA patients.

Rapid in Vitro Quantification of S. aureus Biofilms on Vascular Graft Surfaces

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Objectives: Increasing resistance of microorganisms and particularly tolerance of bacterial biofilms against antibiotics require the need for alternative antimicrobial substances. S. aureus is the most frequent pathogen causing vascular graft infections.

Mixed biofilms formed by C. albicans and non-albicans species: a study of microbial interactions

Brazilian Oral Research, 2016
Most Candida infections are related to microbial biofilms often formed by the association of different species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interactions between Candida albicans and non-albicans species in biofilms formed in vitro ...
