Here, we report a novel non-enzymatic cell dissociation method, based on our finding that adherent cells dissociate rapidly from the polystyrene culture dish when incubated in an l- or d-arginine-containing solution. We also demonstrate the successful detachment of confluent NIH/3T3 cell monolayers from the culture dish as a cell sheet by the addition of an arginine solution.

Background/purpose: studies are essential for understanding cellular responses, but traditional culture systems often neglect the three-dimensional (3D) structure of real implants, leading to limitations in cellular recruitment and behavior largely governed by gravity. The objective of this study was to pioneer a novel 3D dynamic osteoblastic culture system for assessing the biological capabilities of dental implants in a more clinically and physiologically relevant manner.

Materials And Methods: Rat bone marrow-derived osteoblasts were cultured in a 24-well dish with a vertically positioned dental implant.

Microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP), which leverages ureolytic microorganisms, has received significant attention during the past decade as a promising method for sustainable building and geoenvironmental applications. However, transitioning from lab-scale experimentation to volumes suitable for practical use poses challenges. This study addresses these obstacles by screening and analyzing over 50 strains sourced from (i) a natural environment in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland; (ii) microorganism banks; and (iii) an industry-scale bioreactor.

The average prices of foods vary across cuisines but do these differences reflect the value people assign to different cuisines or how much they are willing to pay? Across four preregistered randomized experiments (total N=1,083), we manipulated the cuisine-of-origin (French, Thai) and authenticity (low, high) descriptions for analogous dishes across cuisines (e.g., two seafood stews: French bouillabaisse and Thai kaeng som) and restaurant review pages in Studies 2-4.

Nondestructive Mechanical Characterization of Bioengineered Tissues by Digital Holography.

Mechanical properties of engineered connective tissues are critical for their success, yet modern sensors that measure physical qualities of tissues for quality control are invasive and destructive. The goal of this work was to develop a noncontact, nondestructive method to measure mechanical attributes of engineered skin substitutes during production without disturbing the sterile culture packaging. We optimized a digital holographic vibrometry (DHV) system to measure the mechanical behavior of Apligraf living cellular skin substitute through the clear packaging in multiple conditions: resting on solid agar as when the tissue is shipped, on liquid media in which it is grown, and freely suspended in air as occurs when the media is removed for feeding.
