The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison02:57

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.1K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

The Tumor Microenvironment02:17

The Tumor Microenvironment

7.9K
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Introduction to Special Senses

7.7K
Sensory receptors play an integral part in comprehending our external and internal environments. They receive diverse stimuli, converting them into the nervous system's electrochemical signals. This conversion occurs as the stimulus alters the sensory neuron's cell membrane potential, instigating the generation of an action potential. This action potential is subsequently transmitted to the central nervous system (CNS), which integrates with other sensory data or higher cognitive...

Tactile and Chemical Senses01:27

Tactile and Chemical Senses

826
Tactile senses encompass touch, temperature, and pain, each mediated by specific receptors. Touch receptors detect mechanical energy or pressure against the skin. Sensory fibers from these receptors enter the spinal cord and relay information to the brain stem. Here, most fibers cross over to the opposite side of the brain. The touch information then moves to the thalamus, which projects a map of the body's surface onto the somatosensory areas of the parietal lobes in the cerebral cortex.

Cell Culture01:21

Cell Culture

22.9K
Most vertebrate cells grow in vitro attached to a substrate as a monolayer, called adherent cultures. The flasks and plates used to grow cells are chemically treated to facilitate cell attachment. However, a few cell types, such as hematopoietic cells, can grow in a suspension. In contrast to adherent cultures, suspension cultures can grow in non-treated cultureware using magnetic stirrers or spinner flasks to agitate the culture media

Cellular Differentiation00:57

Cellular Differentiation

5.5K
How does a complex organism such as a human develop from a single cell? It all starts from a single fertilized egg which gives rise to a vast array of cell types, such as nerve cells, muscle cells, and epithelial cells that characterize the adult? Throughout development and adulthood, cellular differentiation leads cells to assume their final morphology and physiology. Differentiation is the process by which unspecialized cells become specialized to carry out distinct functions.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Biosensors
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Traditional cell culture lacks integrated real-time monitoring of the cellular microenvironment.
  • Existing methods often require sample removal, disrupting cellular conditions and limiting continuous analysis.

  • Development of microfabricated sensor chips embedded within standard cell culture flasks, ensuring an in-plane surface for undisturbed cell growth.
  • Integration of amperometric oxygen sensors and potentiometric pH sensors (using electrodeposited iridium oxide films) for real-time measurements.
  • Utilization of a custom rack system for parallel processing of multiple flasks within an incubator.

Main Results:

  • Successful application of the SCCF with T98G (brain tumor) and T-47D (breast cancer) cells.

  • Accurate assessment of cellular acidification using potentiometric pH sensors.

Conclusions:

  • The SCCF provides a transparent, versatile platform for electrochemical monitoring in 2D cell culture, allowing optical inspection and undisturbed cell growth.
  • The system effectively measures key metabolic parameters like oxygen consumption and pH changes.
  • The SCCF lays the groundwork for advanced electrochemical monitoring systems, potentially extendable to 3D cell culture applications.
