Biomedical Science & Research Journals | In Vitro Rigidity Effect on Breast Cancer MCF-7 Three- Dimensional Microtissue Grown from Few Cells


Background: Biological tissues normally possess varying rigidities, changes in which may reflect transformation from normal to pathological state. Cancer cells within the tumor are influenced by the mechanical conditions of their microenvironment, which can drive cell fate.

Methods:We present a new on-array methodology to mimic and control desired surrounding rigidity in vitro for three-dimensional (3D) breast cancer object formation and growth. 3D objects were generated from single cells within a hydrogel array, cultured under various mechanical conditions and measured at single-object resolution.

Results: Alterations in development of 3D breast cancer microtissue under various rigidity conditions in vitro are revealed. Object growth rate, morphology and vital features are associated with the extent of environmental rigidity, the point in time at which embedding was performed and the initial number of seeded cells. Under stiffness that resembles tumor tissue, higher growth rate of breast cancer microtissue and specific “preinvasive” phenotype are evident. Hallmarks of this phenotype include loose morphology with unclear edges and massive peripheral cell spread, dispersed intrinsic structure and reduced expression of epithelial surface markers.


Conclusions: Physical changes in cell environment without parallel changes in biochemical conditions affect growth and development of 3D cancer microtissue grown from individual cells in vitro. A stiffer environment supports 3D microtissue growth and its morphologic and functional diversity in comparison to regular low rigidity conditions.

Biomedical Science and Research Journals | Advanced Applications of Biomaterials Based on Alginic Acid

Advanced Applications of Biomaterials Based on Alginic Acid Abstract Alginic acid, also known as algin or alginate, is a natural carbohydrate, which is derived from marine brown algae, as well as some microorganisms. It can be used in various applications. In particular, alginate has shown great potential in the areas of wound healing, drug delivery, in vitro cell culture, and tissue engineering, allowing the categorization of it as a promising biomaterial, or a basic component of other biomaterials. The unique characteristics of alginic acid, such as the biocompatibility, the mild required gelation conditions, the low toxicity, the relative low cost and the simple modifications, allow the development of alginate hydrogels, and alginate derivatives with enhanced properties. The aim of this review, is to present an overview of the properties of alginate, shedding light on the current and potential applications and suggesting new perspectives for future studies.

  The Need of Early Detection of Positive COVID-19 Patients in the Community by Viral Tests (e.g. RT-PCR Tests) and Antibody Tests (Serological Tests) to Stop the Spread Abstract Background and Objective:  The Aim of this article is to tell the Importance of early testing for COVID-19 novel corona virus of the suspected communities. The earlier to find out the Positive results of the COVID-19 novel corona virus more robust preventions against COVID-19 could be implemented. Methods:  The Author of this article has randomly selected 15 Articles from PUBMED Central and others sources with search word COVID-19 Test Kits. After reviewing the research articles and looking at their results it clearly shows the Importance of use of COVID-19 Test Kits. The earliest the use of COVID-19 Test Kits it prevents the whole community from getting infection from infected people. The Positive people with COVID-19 Test Kits would be Quarantined and treated in the health facilities or at home depending upo

  Banking Progenitor Cells for Hippiatric Regenerative Medicine: Optimized Establishment of Safe and Consistent Cell Sources for Standardized Veterinary Therapeutic Protocols Abstract Acute musculoskeletal injuries in large animals such as horses or camels often result in productivity losses and euthanasia in racing, esthetic or stock animal industries. Bioengineered products for tissue reconstruction and wound healing may supplement traditional veterinary surgical care synergistically. Banked primary fetal progenitor cells can potentially be used towards structural and functional therapeutic restoration in condensed timeframes. Extensive clinical experience exists in our University Hospital working with dermal progenitor fibroblasts for managing burns, donor site grafts and ulcers. By extrapolation, the present study assessed suitability of equine fetal progenitor cell sources for biotechnological processing, robust cell banking and application in tissue engineering strategies for hip
