Recent advances in three-dimensional multicellular spheroid culture for biomedical research

Recent Advances in Biomedical Applications

As widely experimented in research and in real world application, the biomedical field is experimenting different innovations, which are associated with the contamination with the knowledge of other research branches, such as material science, engineering, biological systems, and informatics. Different technical journals proposed special issues in recent years on applications of special technol...

Recent Advances in Biomedical Electronics and Biomedical Informatics

In this work we present a mathematical model of the informative process of the biosensor of angular acceleration (vestibular system in the inner ear). The functional and numerical parameters of the model have been identified by physiological and morphological experiments in the inner ear of amphibians and mammals. The model developed is a compartmental-type model in which we considered all the ...

Three-Dimensional (3D) Tumor Spheroid Invasion Assay

Invasion of surrounding normal tissues is generally considered to be a key hallmark of malignant (as opposed to benign) tumors. For some cancers in particular (e.g., brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck - SCCHN) it is a cause of severe morbidity and can be life-threatening even in the absence of distant metastases. In addition, cancers wh...

Recent Advances in BLV Research.

Different animal models have been proposed to investigate the mechanisms of Human T-lymphotropic Virus (HTLV)-induced pathogenesis: rats, transgenic and NOD-SCID/γcnull (NOG) mice, rabbits, squirrel monkeys, baboons and macaques. These systems indeed provide useful information but have intrinsic limitations such as lack of disease relevance, species specificity or inadequate immune response. An...
