Cell culture is one of the crucial tools in basic scientific research. Cell culture refers to the cultivation in a controlled environment of cells derived from an animal or a plant. Today, various cell culture techniques are used in laboratories…
Cell lines are an easy and inexpensive tool used by researchers routinely. With the plethora of cell lines available today, selecting the right cell line for your project is fundamental for getting reliable results. Cell line contamination, misidentification, source, genetics,…
Normally, human cells grow and divide to form new cells and as the cells grow old or are damaged, they are replace with new cells. When this order of cell cycle breaks down and cells proliferate abnormally, they form tumors…
Cancer disease being the second-leading cause of death worldwide is a highly studied subject (1). The models used by cancer researchers are continuously evolving and advancing to better understand cancer invasion, progression, and early detection. Most cancer studies have been…
A three-dimensional (3D) cell culture is an artificially created environment in which cells grow or interact with their surroundings in all three dimensions. This cell culture is becoming increasingly popular to replace the traditional two-dimensional (2D) monolayer because it correctly…
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the capacity to self-renew and differentiate into specialized cells under given conditions. Stem cells mainly include embryonic stem cells (ESC), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), Epiblast-derived stem cells (Epi-SC), and adult tissue stem…
Stem cells are unspecialized cells of the human body with the ability to self-renew and differentiate into any type of cells of an organism. Recently, there has been an explosion of interest in stem cells within the scientific and medical…
Stem cell banking is the process of isolating stem cells from the body of a donor, processing them, and storing them for potential future use in the context of stem cell research or regenerative medicine. The low temperature of stem…
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are present in the embryonic, fetal, and adult stages of life and are characterized by the ability to extensively proliferate and differentiate into different types of cells and tissues (1). The major characteristics of…
In the past decade research has experienced drastic changes in the development of an alternative research method over the traditional use of animal models as an investigative platform. 2D Monolayer in vitro cultures are effective as drug screening platform but…
