Role of Multicellular Aggregates in Biofilm Formation.
UNLABELLED In traditional models ofin vitrobiofilm development, individual bacterial cells seed a surface, multiply, and mature into multicellular, three-dimensional structures. Much research has been devoted to elucidating the mechanisms governing the initial attachment of single cells to surfaces. However, in natural environments and during infection, bacterial cells tend to clump as multicel...
متن کاملToroidal Cellular Aggregates for Directed Assembly of Multicellular Structure
We have developed a unique multicellular aggregate formation platform that utilizes a maskless gray-scale photolithography. The cellular aggregate formed using this platform has a toroidal-like geometry and includes a micro-pore that facilitates the supply of the oxygen and growth factors and expels waste products. As a result, this platform was capable of rapidly producing hundreds of multicel...
متن کاملBiomechanical properties of the biceps-labral complex submitted to mechanical stress.
PURPOSE To determine biomechanical properties of the superior labrum-biceps tendon complex submitted to continuous and sudden mechanical strain. METHODS Eighteen shoulder specimens from 15 unclaimed corpses, ages ranging from 20 to 40 years, were submitted to continuous or sudden tensile tests using 3 different traction machines. Shoulders presenting signs of degenerative diseases or preexist...
متن کاملSymbiotic Cell Differentiation and Cooperative Growth in Multicellular Aggregates
As cells grow and divide under a given environment, they become crowded and resources are limited, as seen in bacterial biofilms and multicellular aggregates. These cells often show strong interactions through exchanging chemicals, as evident in quorum sensing, to achieve mutualism and division of labor. Here, to achieve stable division of labor, three characteristics are required. First, isoge...
متن کاملResistance of multicellular aggregates to pharmorubicin observed in human hepatocarcinoma cells.
The objective of the present study was to investigate the multicellular resistance of human hepatocarcinoma cells BEL-7402 to pharmorubicin. Cells (1 x 10(4)) and 200 microcarrier Cytodex-3 beads were seeded onto a 24-well plate and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium. After the formation of multicellular aggregates, morphology and cell viability were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, transmis...
