Seminar 1: Tips and Techniques for Growing Happier Cells
Time & Location: 11:00 -11:50, Supplier Seminar Suites – Conference Suite 4A
Cell culture is one of the major tools used in the life sciences nowadays. Tissue culture is the general term for the removal of cells, tissue, or organs from an animal or plant and their subsequent placement into an artificial environment conducive to growth.
A “happy” environment is one that does more than just allow cells to survive in culture. Usually, it means an environment that, at the very least, allow cells to increase in number by undergoing cell division (mitosis). Even better, when conditions are just right, some cultured cells will maintain their in vivo physiological or biochemical functions also in a cell culture environment. To provide this thriving environment, it is important to provide the cells with the appropriate conditions (including temperature, good substrate for attachment and the proper culture medium) and keep them free of contamination. All these points and other will be discussed during this presentation.
Seminar 2: Generating 3D cell culture models using permeable supports
Time & Location: 13:00 – 13:50, Supplier Seminar Suites – Conference Suite 4A
3D cell culture has gained rapid adoption in recent years and it’s no wonder with the many benefits these more physiologically relevant models can deliver. There are several ways you can create a 3D model. Well-known examples are spheroid and organoid culture models using ultra-low attachment surfaces and extracellular matrix extracts but did you know permeable supports can also provide a useful tool for 3D cell culture modeling.
Permeable supports can be applied for mechanically supported 3D models, for example for co-culture assays and invasion and migration assays. Moreover, when combining these assays with spheroid or organoid culture models this opens several avenues and brings in vitro assaying closer to in vivo.
During this presentation we will discuss the features of permeable supports, their versatility for aiding in 3D cell culture modeling and several applications in which permeable supports were used for 3D cell culture.
