Is it possible to perform experimental starvation using PromoCell Normal Human Cells and PromoCell media?
Yes. Experimental starvation can be performed with PromoCell Normal Human Cells using PromoCell media. However, starvation conditions must be optimized individually for each cell type.
In practice, starvation is typically achieved by:
In practice, starvation is typically achieved by:
- Culturing cells in basal medium
- Reducing growth factor concentrations
- Lowering the FBS content (if serum is used)
- Cells should be in good overall condition before starting starvation.
- Starvation periods should be kept as short as possible, as prolonged deprivation of serum and/or growth factors can:
- Induce cell stress
- Trigger apoptosis
- Compromise experimental outcomes
