How can i get rid of antibiotic (Penicillin/Streptomycin) tolerant bacteria from a cancer cell line?

I was trying to expand a cell line provided from a colleague but i noticed more than normal cell death in the culture just after the cells where thawed and attached to a t25 flask. Since then, the...

What to consider before starting to develop drug-resistant cancer cell line models?

Hi. I want to start experiments in a few months, but i want to cover every single detail before starting with such time consuming protocols. To give a little bit of context, i aim to develop...

Why would the color of the DMEM F12 medium seem to be diluted?

The normal color of the media after being prepared with water, sodium bicarbonate and FBS should be an intense red color (as far as i know), but this time the color of the media is still red but...

Effect of quiescent/senescent cells on formazan production in MTT assays?

I was wondering if quiescent cells will have enough metabolic activity to interfere with the interpretation of the results (% of growth inhibition), in other words, if the formazan production...

Can we classify HV and LV lines based on line length?

I have dataset which shows the length of power lines. I need to classify the lines based on the line length. Is there a rule to classify the High voltage (HV) and low voltage (LV) lines based on...

Does Napabucasin soluble in dichloromethane and in ethanol?

I need to prepare a solution of Napabucasin (inhibitor of cancer cell stemness) in dichloromethane. The drug is expensive, so maybe somebody already tried to do it. If it is soluble, what is the...

What is the state of the drug inside solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs)?

I am a little confuse with the mechanism of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). The main point of encapsulating drugs into SLNs is because some drugs have low solubility in water. Therefore, SLNs...

Is it possible for two human neuronal cell lines to have different gene sequence for the same protein?

I am looking at the ATP1A2 (Sodium/Potassium ATPase alpha subunit 2) in two human neuronal cell lines. Expression levels of this protein seems to be almost equal when detected by one antibody....

Is CD44 degraded in lysosome together with hyaluronan after CD44 mediated endocytosis of hyaluronic acid?

Also when RHAMM binds hyaluronic acid, they get internalized, will RHAMM also be degraded? Or both CD44 and RHAMM will be transferred back to the cell membrane? Asking for breast cancer cell line...

Do you need the CMV enhancer before the CMV promotor for a proper function of CMV on the gene that follows?

I'm a student and I have to produce a cell line with a knockin for the NRF2 gene with GFP. I have to put a promotor in front of the GFP because the gene will be too far away from the promotor of...
