Lucerne (Medicago media cv. Rambler) plants, regenerated from cell suspension cultures adapted to 200 mM NaCl, and cell cultures derived from the leaflets of regenerated plants showed enhanced Na exclusion compared with the unselected plants and cell cultures. There was a decrease in the K concentration in response to NaCl treatment but the selected plants and cell cultures maintained a significantly higher K concentration and showed much lower Na/K ratios than unselected plants and cell cultures. The proline concentration increased in the shoots and cell cultures in response to NaCl stress but the selected plants and cell cultures showed a significantly higher proline concentration than unselected plants and cell cultures.

Expansion of atypical memory B cells (aMBCs) was demonstrated in malaria-exposed individuals. To date, the generation of P. vivax-specific aMBCs and their function in protective humoral immune responses is unknown.

Recent advances in bioengineering have made it possible to develop increasingly complex biological systems to recapitulate organ functions as closely as possible in vitro. Monitoring the assembly and growth of multi-cellular aggregates, micro-tissues or organoids and extracting quantitative information is a crucial but challenging task required to decipher the underlying morphogenetic mechanisms. We present here an imaging platform designed to be accommodated inside an incubator which provides high-throughput monitoring of cell assemblies over days and weeks.

Background: Three dimensional (3D) cell cultures can be effectively used for drug discovery and development but there are still challenges in their general application to high-throughput screening. In this study, we developed a novel high-throughput chemotherapeutic 3D drug screening system for gastric cancer, named 'Cure-GA', to discover clinically applicable anticancer drugs and predict therapeutic responses.
Methods: Primary cancer cells were isolated from 143 fresh surgical specimens by enzymatic treatment.

We present the first use of a bioengineered mammalian transposase system derived from Myotis lucifugus (bMLT) for integration of expression vectors into the CHO genome, focusing on GFP and trastuzumab production. Initially, CHO-K1 cells are transfected with a GFP reporter and varying amounts of bMLT DNA or mRNA. GFP expression is monitored over 17 weeks without selective pressure.

The development of efficient producers of recombinant pharmaceuticals based on plant cell suspension cultures is a pressing challenge in modern applied science. A primary limitation of plant cell cultures is their relatively low yield of the target protein. One strategy to enhance culture productivity involves reducing cell aggregation.
