In vitro testicular toxicity models: opportunities for advancement via biomedical engineering techniques.
To address the pressing need for better in vitro testicular toxicity models, a workshop sponsored by the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI), the Health and Environmental Science Institute (HESI), and the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT), was held at the Mt. Washington Conference Center in Baltimore, MD, USA on October 26-27, 2011. At this workshop, expert...
متن کاملBiomedical engineering: In vitro amniogenesis.
The amniotes are a vertebrate clade including reptiles, birds and mammals, whose embryos develop from eggs that are either laid on land or nurtured within the maternal environment. The production of large eggs with stores of fluid and nutrients and, later, placentation were evolutionary breakthroughs that allowed for more extended and complex embryonic development in the terrestrial environment...
متن کاملOPPORTUNITIES FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH Advances in Biomedical Engineering
BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING IS broadly defined as the application of engineering principles to problems in clinical medicine and surgery. The origins of biomedical engineering are often linked to the pioneering electrophysiology studies of Galvani and Volta more than 200 years ago. During the first half of the 20th century, the electrical properties of tissues and cells continued to be a primary foc...
متن کاملIn vitro models for liver toxicity testing.
Over the years, various liver-derived in vitro model systems have been developed to enable investigation of the potential adverse effects of chemicals and drugs. Liver tissue slices, isolated microsomes, perfused liver, immortalized cell lines, and primary hepatocytes have been used extensively. Immortalized cell lines and primary isolated liver cells are currently most widely used in vitro mod...
متن کاملI-5: Multicellular Human Testicular Organoid: A Novel 3D In Vitro Germ Cell and Testicular Toxicity Model
Background Background: Mammalian spermatogenesis is regulated through paracrine and endocrine activity, specific cell signaling, and local control mechanisms. These highly specific signaling interactions are effectively absent upon placing testicular cells into two-dimensional primary culture. The specific changes that occur between key cell types and involved spermatogenesis signaling pathways...
