  • This is where neural or brain stem cells reside, which are responsible for generating new neurons if needed. (dkfz.de)
  • In the adult animal, Tlx is expressed exclusively in brain stem cells. (dkfz.de)
  • When the scientists switched off Tlx, there were no more detectable stem cells in the brain and the formation of new neurons ceased. (dkfz.de)

  • Small, minimally invasive and wirelessly controlled, magnetic microrobots have ideal qualities for use in stem cell therapy, but must be further improved before application in the clinic, the authors say. (physicsworld.com)
  • Upon application of a rotating magnetic field, the spherical and helical microrobots respectively exhibited rolling and corkscrew motions that propelled them through 3D spaces - such as a blood vessel isolated from a rat brain and a ventricle within a slice of mouse brain - enabling precise targeting of transplanted stem cells. (physicsworld.com)
  • The researchers examined hippocampal neural stem cells (NSCs) grown on the microrobots. (physicsworld.com)
  • Finally, the team demonstrated in vivo stem cell transportation using the microrobots in a live nude mouse. (physicsworld.com)
  • They cultured mesenchymal stem cells derived from the human nose on spherical microrobots for transplantation in the mouse, and showed that an externally applied magnetic field could manipulate the cell-loaded microrobots within the animal's hollow abdominal cavity. (physicsworld.com)
  • These results confirm the feasibility of using microrobots for targeted stem cell transportation and transplantation in various physiological fluidic environments. (physicsworld.com)

  • The rich variety of proteins in fetal bovine serum maintains cultured cells in a medium in which they can survive, grow, and divide. (wikipedia.org)
  • However, the effectiveness of serum-free media is limited as many cell lines still require serum in order to grow, and many serum-free media formulations can only support the growth of narrowly-defined types of cells. (wikipedia.org)
  • FBS, as with the vast majority of animal serum used in cell culture, is produced from blood collected at commercial slaughterhouses from cattle that also supply meat intended for human consumption. (wikipedia.org)
  • It is then centrifuged to remove the fibrin clot and the remaining blood cells from the clear yellow (straw) colored serum. (wikipedia.org)
  • The serum is frozen prior to further processing that is necessary to make it suitable for cell culture. (wikipedia.org)
  • When changing from batch to batch it is usual to adapt the cells to the new batch of material, for example, by mixing 50% of the old serum with 50% of the new serum and allowing the cells to acclimatize to the new material. (wikipedia.org)
  • The transport of serum amino acids into cells is an active process that is facilitated by plasma membrane-localized amino acid transporters. (spandidos-publications.com)
