Proliferative activity and viability of fibroblast and glioblastoma cell on various types of carbon nanotubes.

The effects of single-walled and multiwalled carbon nanotubes on proliferative activity and viability of human embryo fibroblasts and glioblastoma cells were studied. Low cytotoxic activity of single-walled carbon tubes was demonstrated. Possible mechanisms of nanotube effects on cell growth are discussed.

[The morphological and karyological characteristics of MDCK and vero (B) cells cultures on plant hydrolyzate-based nutrient media].

MDCK and Vero (B) cell cultures were propagated during 10 passages in the experimental nutrient media containing the soybean powder hydrolyzate prepared using trypsin and bromelain enzymes and the rice powder hydrolysate prepared with trypsin and in the control DMEM and SFM4 MegaVir media. The karyological, morphological, and proliferative characteristics of continuous cultures were examined and compared. The experimental media supplied with 3% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco, U.

Nutrient medium from rice flour hydrolysate for cell culturing and evaluation of the sensitivity to influenza viruses.

The nutrient medium on the basis of enzymatic hydrolysate of rice flour was used for culturing of MDCK and Vero(B) cells. Culturing of the vaccine line Vero(B) in this medium was not accompanied by changes in proliferative activity and sensitivity to influenza viruses A(H1N1) and A(H3N2).

Effect of exogenous frequency exposure on human cells.

Effects of exogenous bioresonance oscillations on biological and morphological characteristics of continuous human lung and liver cells were studied. Proliferative activities and viability of cells decreased after exposure to frequencies of 8 and 78.5 Hz.
