Customizing the Cellular Microenvironment to Improve Physiological Relevance

News-Medical speaks to Marie-Charlotte Manus from Alvéole, to find out about a new technology called PRIMO that improves the physiological relevance of cells in culture by giving researchers the ability to customize the cellular microenvironment.

			A New Technique for Measuring Oxygen Concentration in Cells Providing Metabolic “Fingerprints” of Cancer Cells Biologically, cancer cells show significant differences in the type of metabolism they undergo compared to healthy cells.

			Investigating Glucose Uptake in Cultured Cells By studying glucose uptake in cells, we can gain more information to understand glucose regulation and metabolism in normal and diseased systems.

			Exploring Cell Mechanics with AFM This article discusses how AFM assist in exploring the mechanics of a cell.

	How are Host Cell Proteins Removed from Biopharmaceuticals? Removing host cell proteins is crucial, as these proteins are immunogenic and can thus compromise the integrity of the final product.

	Cell membrane complexes may be new target for drugs to kill cancer cells Old molecules and new complexes: researchers at Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina have discovered cell membrane complexes called ceramidosomes that may be a new target for drugs to kill cancer cells.

	Sphere Fluidics and PAA collaborate to offer automated micro-plate handling capabilities for single cell analysis Sphere Fluidics, a company commercializing single cell analysis systems underpinned by its patented picodroplet technology, and Peak Analysis and Automation, a leader in the industry for the design and manufacture of automated laboratory equipment, will collaborate to offer automated micro-plate handling capabilities for single cell analysis.

	Detecting and mapping of chemicals inside a biological cell How are chemicals distributed in a cell? Chinese scientists have developed a combined mass spectrometry and biological imaging device that enables direct, label-free detection, and high-resolution mapping of chemicals inside a biological cell.

	The Different Roles of Actin Within Eukaryotic Cells Actin is a structural protein found within all eukaryotic cells, where it the role of actin is in supporting cell structure. In human cells there are three types of actin present: alpha, beta and gamma.

	Spectrum's ultra-fast digitizer enables breakthrough in cell sorting Cell sorting plays a fundamental role in molecular biology, pathology, immunology and virology research. It requires the ability to rapidly search through and sort out cells based on their unique chemical features and shapes.
