Preexisting variation in DNA damage response predicts the fate of single mycobacteria under stress

John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Giulia Manina, Lalit Kumar Singh

Clonal microbial populations are inherently heterogeneous, and this diversification is often considered as an adaptation strategy. In clinical infections, phenotypic diversity is found to be associated with drug tolerance, which in turn could evolve into g ...

8-Channel Single Embryo Pipette For Accurate C-Elegans Bioassays

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Li Dong, Jingwei Zhang

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a powerful model organism for addressing fundamental biological questions related to human disease and aging. Accurate control of the number of worms is a primary step for quantitative biological or bioch ...

Effect of mechanical damage and wound healing on the viscoelastic properties of stems of flax cultivars (Linum usitatissimum L. cv. Eden and cv. Drakkar)

Véronique Michaud, Sara Dalle Vacche, Federica Sordo

As plant fibres are increasingly used in technical textiles and their composites, underlying principles of wound healing in living plant fibres are relevant to product quality, and provide inspiration for biomimetic healing in synthetic materials. In this ...

Advanced technologies to control stem-cell based organogenesis

Nathalie Brandenberg

Organoids represent the first in vitro cell culture systems that closely resemble native tissues in terms of cellular composition, architecture and key aspects of physiology. Through the discovery of these cultures, researchers could demonstrate that stem ...

Silver nanoparticles inhibit fish gill cell proliferation in protein-free culture medium

Kristin Schirmer, Laura Sigg, Renata Behra, Yang Yue

While short-term exposures of vertebrate cells, such as from fish, can be performed in defined, serum-free media, long-term cultures generally require addition of growth factors and proteins, normally supplied with a serum supplement. However, proteins are ...

Dielectric Elastomer Actuator for Mechanical Loading of 2D Cell Cultures

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin

We demonstrate the use of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) for mechanical stimulation of cells in vitro. The development of living tissues is regulated by their mechanical environment through the modification of fundamental cellular functions such as ...

Disposable orbitally shaken TubeSpin bioreactor 600 for Sf9 cell cultivation in suspension

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Xiao Shen, Dominique Terry Monteil Jr, Giulia Tontodonati

Disposable orbitally shaken TubeSpin bioreactor 600 tubes (TS600s) were recently developed for the bench-scale cultivation of animal cells in suspension. Here we compared batch cultures of Sf9 insect cells in TS600s, spinner flasks, and shake flasks. Super ...
