Cell Culture01:21

Cell Culture

22.7K
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

Animal and Plant Cell Structure01:30

Animal and Plant Cell Structure

48.5K
Animal and plant cells not only differ in their structure, function, and mode of nutrition but also in how they reproduce, specialize, and organize into complex structures.
Cell Division
Though both plant and animal cells divide by mitosis (for non-gametic cells) and meiosis (for gametic cells), they differ in the specifics of this process. Unlike animal cells, plant cells lack centrosomes — an organelle responsible for organizing the spindle fibers and segregating the chromosomes during...

Structures of Solids02:22

Structures of Solids

17.9K
Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...

Structure of Lipids03:38

Structure of Lipids

99.0K
Lipids include a diverse group of compounds that are largely nonpolar in nature. This is because they are hydrocarbons that include mostly nonpolar carbon-carbon or carbon-hydrogen bonds. Non-polar molecules are hydrophobic (“water fearing”), or insoluble in water. Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of fats. Lipids also provide insulation from the environment for plants and animals. For example, they help keep aquatic...

Viral Structure00:56

Viral Structure

74.6K
Viruses are extraordinarily diverse in shape and size, but they all have several structural features in common. All viruses have a core that contains a DNA- or RNA-based genome. The core is surrounded by a protective coat of proteins called the capsid. The capsid is composed of subunits called capsomeres. The capsid and genome-containing core are together known as the nucleocapsid.

Statistical Software for Data Analysis and Clinical Trials01:12

Statistical Software for Data Analysis and Clinical Trials

1.6K
Statistical software is pivotal in data analysis and clinical trials by providing tools to analyze data, draw conclusions, and make predictions. These software packages range from simple data management applications to complex analytical platforms, supporting various statistical tests, models, and simulation techniques. Their significance lies in their ability to handle vast amounts of data with precision and efficiency, enabling researchers to validate hypotheses, identify trends, and make...

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Biofabrication
  • 3D Printing

Background:

  • Three-dimensional (3D) printing offers rapid prototyping across industries and is increasingly used in life sciences.
  • Existing general-purpose software for 3D printer control is often inadequate for specialized bioprinting needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a suite of open-source software tools tailored for bioprinting applications.
  • To demonstrate the capability of these tools in creating custom biocompatible 3D-printed structures for biological experiments.

Main Methods:

  • Developed open-source software enabling precise machine movement control via high-level programming languages.
  • Engineered software for distributing machine movements across multiple tissue culture dishes.
  • Fabricated custom, biocompatible 3D-printed plastic structures using the developed software.

Main Results:

  • The software allows for precise specification and distribution of 3D printer movements, crucial for bioprinting.
  • Custom-fabricated structures demonstrated control over cell spreading area and medium volume.
  • The 3D-printed structures exhibited excellent optical properties, even with small sample volumes (50 µl).

Conclusions:

  • The developed open-source software addresses the limitations of general-purpose tools in bioprinting.
  • These tools are valuable for creating customized in vitro experimental chambers.
