Three-dimensional tissue culture based on magnetic cell levitation.
Cell culture is an essential tool in drug discovery, tissue engineering and stem cell research. Conventional tissue culture produces two-dimensional cell growth with gene expression, signalling and morphology that can be different from those found in vivo, and this compromises its clinical relevance. Here, we report a three-dimensional tissue culture based on magnetic levitation of cells in the...
متن کاملPaper-Supported Three-Dimensional Cell Culture for Tissue-Based Bioassays
Methods. Cells and reagents We purchased MDA-MB-231 cells from ATCC and primary IMR90, HDF and primary HUVEC cells from Lonza. MDA-MB-231, IMR-90, HDF and LLC cells were cultured in Eagle’s minimal Essential medium (MEM) from Lonza supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% GlutaMax (both from Invitrogen). Primary HUVEC cells were cultured in endothelial growth medium (EGM-2, Lonza)....
متن کاملThree-Dimensional In Vitro Co-Culture Model of Breast Tumor using Magnetic Levitation
In this study, we investigate a novel in vitro model to mimic heterogeneous breast tumors without the use of a scaffold while allowing for cell-cell and tumor-fibroblast interactions. Previous studies have shown that magnetic levitation system under conventional culturing conditions results in the formation of three-dimensional (3D) structures, closely resembling in vivo tissues (fat tissue, va...
متن کاملA three-dimensional co-culture model of the aortic valve using magnetic levitation.
The aortic valve consists of valvular interstitial cells (VICs) and endothelial cells (VECs). While these cells are understood to work synergistically to maintain leaflet structure and valvular function, few co-culture models of these cell types exist. In this study, aortic valve co-cultures (AVCCs) were assembled using magnetic levitation and cultured for 3 days. Immunohistochemistry and quant...
متن کاملUsing magnetic levitation for three dimensional self-assembly.
The development of practical strategies for the assembly of objects into 3D arrays is an unsolved problem. This paper describes the use of magnetic levitation (MagLev) to guide the self-assembly of millimeterto centimeter-scale dia magnetic objects, which we call “components”, each programmed by shape and distribution of density, into 3D assemblies and structures in a paramagnetic fl uid medium...
