Article Synopsis
- - HUBER® is an isometric strengthening device that's being explored as a rehab tool for diverse patient populations, focusing on physical outcomes in adults.
- - A systematic review looked at 142 studies but included only six interventional studies, with participant numbers ranging from 12 to 53 and intervention periods lasting 4 to 8 weeks, showing moderate benefits in strength, balance, and muscle power.
- - Despite showing potential, the overall quality of the studies was considered moderate to low, indicating that while HUBER® may be useful, further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in rehabilitation.
Growth of human tumor cells as three-dimensional (3D) multicellular spheroids modifies their invasive properties. Here we study the differences in the biological features of MCF-7, a human breast cancer cell line, and its multidrug resistant variant (MDR-MCF-7) cultured as spheroids or as monolayers. Three-dimensional culture decreased the proliferative rate of both cell lines, reduced the drug sensitivity of MCF-7 cells and did not affect the resistance of MDR-MCF-7 cells.
