The effect of violamycin BI (VBI) was investigated in different cell substrates, infected or not with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), strains VR3 and Rapp-1. The cytotoxic dose of VBI was established in calf kidney and human embryo cell cultures. Low drug concentrations induced moderate cytotoxic changes, allowing the study of the cells for 4-6 days. The action of VBI on HSV-1 was evident mostly in the early phases of the virus multiplication cycle. The antiviral effect of VBI was due both to the direct action of the drug on HSV and to its interaction with the nucleic acids of the host cells supporting HSV multiplication in their nuclei.

Worldwide elimination of malaria remains a challenge yet to be accomplished, and the domain of malaria relapse equally remains obtuse. Yet sophisticated cell culture and screening techniques and animal models are being constructed and molecular regulations are discovered in this intriguing discipline. An elaborate understanding of these schemes is mandatory to conceive effective therapeutic strategies.

Induction of in vitro spermatogenesis may be helpful in the treatment of infertility in azoospermic individuals and those undergoing chemotherapy. Different cultivation systems have been implemented to achieve this aim. This review study aimed to investigate the application of three-dimensional culture in the induction of in vitro spermatogenesis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOvarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC), particularly advanced or recurrent settings, is generally resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy, warranting novel therapeutic strategies. Mutations in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) pathway are frequently reported in OCCC. Therefore, we hypothesized that the PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor, GSK458, and arsenic trioxide may exert synergistic anti-tumor effects on OCCC.

The State Key Laboratory of Bioreactor Engineering, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai, China.
Recent years, intensified fed-batch culture with ultra-high seeding density (uHSD-IFB) is coming to the forefront of manufacturers' choice for its enhanced productivity. However, the effects of seed cell physiological state and aeration strategies on these processes remain underexplored due to the ultra-high seeding density. Currently, the pre-production seeding inoculum (N-1) crucial for the uHSD-IFB cultures relies heavily upon case-by-case empirical experiences.

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are widely used to produce recombinant proteins, including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), through various process modes. While fed-batch (FB) processes have been the standard, a shift toward high-density perfusion processes is being driven by increased productivity, flexible facility footprints, and lower costs. Ensuring the clearance of process-related impurities, such as host cell proteins (HCPs), is crucial in biologics manufacturing.
