cell culture

[Molecular Neurobiology] Researchers applied the recently established mixed neuroglial primary cell culture of the rat superficial dorsal horn (SDH) to investigate effects of adipose mesenchymal stem cells on the inflammatory response of SDH cells.

[Cell Chemical Biology] Researchers used a chemical proteomics strategy that had identified STAT3, a transcription factor considered to be undruggable, as a direct functional protein target of rapamycin. They showed that rapamycin treatment in cell culture significantly inhibited c-Myc-regulated gene expression.

[ACS Applied Materials & interfaces] The human lung A549 cells cultured on both stiff and soft polyurethane soft dendritic colloids membranes were found to be viable, capable of supporting the air–liquid interface cell culture, and maintained barrier integrity.

[Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] Scientists investigated very small embryonic-like cells (VSELs)-like cells in terms of their pluripotency phenotype and tri-lineage differentiation potential.

[International Journal of Urology] The authors summarize the development and applications of three-dimensional organoid cultures in urological cancers, mainly focusing on prostate, urinary bladder and kidney cancers, and assess the future prospects of this model.

[Pediatric Research] Hemangioma endothelial cells were co-cultured with propranolol-treated HMC-1s supernatants, and their proliferation and apoptosis were investigated.
