In vitro nanoparticle dosimetry for adherent growing cell monolayers covering bottom and lateral walls

Pectic Metabolism of Growing Cell Walls.

Shape dynamics of growing cell walls.

We introduce a general theoretical framework to study the shape dynamics of actively growing and remodeling surfaces. Using this framework we develop a physical model for growing bacterial cell walls and study the interplay of cell shape with the dynamics of growth and constriction. The model allows us to derive constraints on cell wall mechanical energy based on the observed dynamics of cell s...

In vitro autolysis of plant cell walls.

Primary cell walls of Zea mays prepared in a glycerol medium are capable of autolysis in vitro. Autolysis results in solubilization of about 10% of the wall substance during an 8 hour incubation period. Approximately 10% of the solubilized material is glucose and the remainder consists of an unidentified polymer which yields only glucose upon hydrolysis. Cell wall autolysis is a linear function...

Management of the Lateral Walls in Crooked Nose

In crooked noses, the lateral walls are different in shape and symmetry. Although the septum is very important to obtain a straight nose, identical and symmetrical lateral walls are needed for a straight looking nasal dorsum. As well as the septum, lateral walls also contribute in nasal skeletal support and stability. Thus, obtaining identical and symmetrical lateral walls is important. In orde...

GTEM Cell Experimental Set up for In Vitro Dosimetry

A GTEM cell, suitable for assessing possible biological effects induced on cell samples by electromagnetic fields at the typical frequencies of GSM mobile phones, has been designed and set up. Basic environmental requirements for in-vitro biological experiments, involving a GTEM cell, have been assessed by controlling the electromagnetic field distribution and survival conditions. The GTEM cell...
