Microscale controlled continuous cell culture
Measurements of metabolic and cellular activity through substrate and product interactions are highly dependent on environmental conditions and cellular metabolic state. For such experiments to be feasible, continuous cultures are utilized to ensure consistent conditions. However, since medium must …

Fabrication of Micropatterned Hydrogels for Cell Culture
… agent and have the characteristics of extracellular matrix. Therefore, they are suitable for cell growth and appropriate for forming cell culture. Hydrogels can mimic the cell microenvironments and promote cell differentiation by interactions with cells. Cells can get oxygen, nutrients …

Mathematical Modeling of Perifusion Cell Culture Experiments
<p>In perifusion cell cultures, the culture medium flows continuously through a chamber containing immobilized cells and the effluent is collected at the end. In our main applications, gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) or oxytocin is introduced into the chamber as the input. They stimulate the …

Microfluidics for Cell Culture and Single Cell Assays
Elucidating molecular processes that govern cell function is paramount in forming a basis for understanding human health and treating disease. Research is presently limited by investigating in bulk, where information on critical subsets of cells is lost through averaging across an entire …

In vitro models for airway epithelial cell culture
… of the human airway. Various factors such as the cell model, physiochemical factors such as the cell substrate properties including its stiffness, shear stress, stretch, the air-liquid interface and the biochemical factors in the medium influence the biology of the cells. The aim of this work is …

High density animal cell culture systems using porous supports
… examined as supports for large scale mammalian cell culture. Vero cells and transformed baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells which produced human transferrin were grown in three different reactor configurations: a fixed bed ceramic perfusion system, an airlift systemwith draft tube made of porous …

Cryptosporidiosis in the Immunosuppressed Mouse and in Cell Culture
… (AIDS). Persons with abnormal humoral or cellular immune function, and even normal subjects, have also been affected.</p> <p>To determine whether or not mice, when experimentally immunosuppressed, would develop cryptosporidiosis, a test was designed using the AKR/J strain. This strain was …

Patterned substrates for cell culture with electrohydrodynamic jet printing
Cell behavior is strongly influenced by the microenvironment. In vitro studies have conclusively shown that chemistry, geometry, and mechanics have all been shown to influence or direct cellular proliferation, differentiation, and matrix formation. However, few systems exist that allow researchers …

Extracellular Matrix-Derived Microcarriers as 3-D Cell Culture Platforms
Recognizing the cell-instructive capacity of tissue-specific extracellular matrix (ECM) to direct cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation, there is a need for the development of in vitro cell culture models that reflect the complexity of the ECM to improve stem/progenitor cell expansion …

Peptide hydrogels as novel scaffolds for dental pulp cell culture
… tissue regeneration should mimic the native extracellular matrix of tissues and allow recruitment and retention of stem cells whilst also promoting tissue organization and function. To achieve this, biomaterials used for scaffold fabrication should be biocompatible and allow attachment of cells …

Enzymatic crosslinking of dynamic hydrogels for in vitro cell culture
Stiffening and softening of extracellular matrix (ECM) are critical processes governing many aspects of biological processes. The most common practice used to investigate these processes is seeding cells on two-dimensional (2D) surfaces of varying stiffness. In recent years, cell-laden …

Elucidating the Role of Plakoglobin in Embryonic Stem Cell Culture
Pluripotency – the ability of cells to differentiate into all three germ layers – is of great interest, particularly in the fields of developmental biology and medicine. The in vivo continuum can be separated into three in vitro states that are also found in the embryo: naïve, formative, and primed …
