Antibiotics in Cell Culture: Friend or Enemy?
Antibiotics are routinely used in cell cultures to prevent bacterial infections. But there are side effects: Studies show that they impair cell growth and differentiation. With good laboratory practice, the use of antibiotics is unnecessary.
A cell culture is a world of its own. The culture dish contains nutrients within the media that cells need to thrive and prosper….

Extracellular vesicles in cancer therapy
EVs in tumor development Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, play a crucial role in tumor biology. Alongside modulating the tumor microenvironment and contributing to the malignant cascade (angiogenesis, the host immune system response, and metastasis), EVs are involved in chemoresistance. Docetaxel in prostate cancer, for example, may transport mRNA encoding drug-resistant proteins or carry miRNA to recipient cells and trigger the expression of specific target genes….

Mimicking the body’s largest organ in vitro with 3D skin models
Researchers are increasingly using 3D cell cultures to study the skin’s features. Three-dimensional skin models offer the potential to study various diseases and test compounds in vitro. Dr. Florian Groeber-Becker from the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC in Wurzburg has developed a highly sophisticated skin model.
It is the first thing people see when they look at us….
