Adhesion and survival of electrogenic cells on gold nanopillar array electrodes
Cell–electrode interfaces play a critical role in extracellular recording. Enlarging the electrode surface area with nanostructures yields higher signal–to–noise–ratios due to lower interface impedance. Adhesion and viability of various cell types on large–scale gold nanopillar electrodes to improve cell–electrode coupling were investigated. Cardiac muscle and human embryonic kidney cells ...

Effects of trophic exposure to diclofenac and dexamethasone on hematological parameters and immune response in freshwater fish
The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of diclofenac and dexamethasone on hematological parameters and immune response in the fish species Hoplias malabaricus after trophic exposure. Fish were fed twice every week with Astyanax sp., which was submitted to intraperitoneal (i.p.) inoculation with diclofenac (0, 0.2, 2.0, or 20.0 µg/Kg) or dexamethasone (0.03, 0.3, or 3.0 µg/Kg). After ...

What are Vero cells?
Vero cellsare a continuous adherent cell line that is frequently used in cell culture and plays an important role in worldwide vaccine and vector production (manufacturing). Unlike other mammalian cells, they do not secrete interferon alpha or beta when infected by viruses – this is one of the reasons that efficient replication of many viruses can be achieved in Vero cells, ...

How can Nuvonis help to fight the SARS-CoV-2 pandemics?
At the end of the year 2019, a cluster of severe pneumonia of unknown cause was described in Wuhan (Eastern China) and a SARS-like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was noted in these patients. Early in January 2020, sequencing revealed a novel coronavirus (now termed SARS-CoV-2) as the causal factor for the disease designated as COVID-19. The pandemic caused by the virus has unforeseen ...

Galectin 3 Inhibition Attenuates Renal Injury Progression in Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity
Annotations Kidney toxicity is a significant side-effect withGal-3 plays an essential role in kidney fibrosis and renal failure, and it is one of the critical factors for renal injury Inhibition of Gal-3, mediated by MCP, antagonized the pro-apoptotic (cell death) effects. MCP- treated mice demonstrated increased renal function and reduced renal fibrosis after cisplatin- induced MCP-treated ...

Bioprinted pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids provide opportunities for high content screening
Publication Summary: Recent advances in the directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells to kidney organoids advances the prospect of drug screening, disease modelling, and even restoration of renal function using patient-derived stem cell lines. Here, we demonstrate the successful adaptation of our directed differentiation protocol to the NovoGen Bioprinter® MMX technology to ...

The Power Of RepliGut in Vitro Intestinal Stem Cell Models
Both current in vitro and in vivo models used in the development of candidate therapies for the treatment of intestinal diseases have severe limitations. RepliGut®, an in vitro human intestinal epithelial stem cell model, addresses many of these issues and has significant potential to reduce the time and cost of drug development. This model may even help to identify optimal therapies for ...

Effect of sodium azide on the metabolic activity of cultured fetal cells
Sodium azide is a highly toxic substance. However, the mechanism of its toxicity has not been fully established. In the present study, we attempted to investigate the toxicity of sodium azide in various cultured fetal cells, using changes in cellular respiration as an indicator of metabolic inhibition to elucidate tissue-specificity. The human fetal cell lines used in this study included ...

Influenza A virus replication has a stronger dependency on Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway activity than SARS-CoV-2
The recent COVID-19 pandemic again highlighted the urgent need for broad-spectrum antivirals, both for therapeutic use in acute viral infection and for pandemic preparedness in general. The targeting of host cell factors hijacked by viruses during their replication cycle presents one possible strategy for development of broad-spectrum antivirals. By inhibiting the Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, ...

Common Gamma Chain Cytokines in Cancer Immunotherapy
Cytokines-mediated signaling is a primary way of immune system communication. The common gamma-chain family of cytokines is a set of six cytokines that signal through the common cytokine γ chain receptor (γc/CD132/IL2RG). These cytokines include IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21. Besides the IL-2RG receptor subunit, the γc family cytokine receptors include IL-2RB ...

California Prop65 list
1. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is an active ingredient in Nabiximols, a specific extract of Cannabis that was approved as a botanical drug in the United Kingdom since 2010 as a mouth spray for people with multiple sclerosis to reduce neuropathic pain, spasticity, overactive bladder, and other symptoms. Nabiximols (as Sativex) is available as a prescription drug in ...

Aelan Cell Technologies publishes new research identifying biomarkers that could serve as companion diagnostics for patients being treated with IL-2
San Francisco, CA –Aelan Cell Technologies, with an international research team, today released a study that reveals that age is a key determining factor in the efficacy of cell-based or pharmacological treatments. The study, published in the advanced online publication of Oncotarget: Gerotarget (Focus on Aging) focused on the effect of age on the interaction of Interleukin-2 (IL-2) ...

Cytokine Involvement in Inflammatory Immune Disorders
Cytokines, small molecules with potent biological activity, are primarily synthesized by immune and non-immune cells (e.g., vascular endothelial cells, epidermal cells, fibroblasts) in response to stimulation. These signaling molecules form intricate networks that contribute to immune responses, inflammatory reactions, cell proliferation, and growth. Cytokine Dysregulation in Systemic Immune ...
