In vitro feeding assays for hard ticks.
Prevention of tick bites and transmission of tick-borne pathogens requires the use of molecules that target physiological processes crucial to both tick and pathogen survival. These molecules are best tested in standardized in vitro assays. Because hard ticks require several days to feed to repletion, the development of in vitro feeding assays for these species is challenging. A standard and ea...
متن کاملIn vitro Tumorsphere Formation Assays.
A tumorsphere is a solid, spherical formation developed from the proliferation of one cancer stem/progenitor cell. These tumorspheres (Figure 1a) are easily distinguishable from single or aggregated cells (Figure 1b) as the cells appear to become fused together and individual cells cannot be identified. Cells are grown in serum-free, non-adherent conditions in order to enrich the cancer stem/pr...
متن کاملScreening for ocular phototoxicity.
Normally light transmission through the eye is benign and serves to direct vision and circadian rhythm. However, with very intense light exposure, or with ambient light exposure to the aged eye and/or young or adult eye in the presence of light-activated (photosensitizing) drugs or dietary supplements, cosmetics, or diagnostic dyes, light can be hazardous, leading to blinding disorders. Light d...
متن کاملEvaluating antifungal effects of satureja khuzistanica essence in lorestan province by In vitro assays
Background: Because of the scarcity of antifungal drugs,their undesired side effects and emergence of drug resistant strains research for finding novel antifungal drugs with less side effects is necessary. In this research, the antifungal effects of satureja khuzistanica essence,which is a native plant in our province, on ten kinds of fungi were evaluated. Materials and methods: To extract the...
متن کاملOcular phototoxicity.
The human eye is constantly exposed to sunlight and artificial lighting. Therefore the eye is exposed to UV-B (295-320 nm), UV-A (320-400 nm), and visible light (400-700 nm). Light is transmitted through the eye and then signals the brain directing both sight and circadian rhythm. Therefore light absorbed by the eye must be benign. Damage to the young and adult eye by intense ambient light is a...
