3D tumor spheroid models for in vitro therapeutic screening: a systematic app...Arun kumar
The potential of a spheroid tumor model composed of cells in different proliferative and metabolic
states for the development of new anticancer strategies has been amply demonstrated. However, there
is little or no information in the literature on the problems of reproducibility of data originating from
experiments using 3D models. Our analyses, carried out using a novel open source software capable of
performing an automatic image analysis of 3D tumor colonies, showed that a number of morphology
parameters affect the response of large spheroids to treatment. In particular, we found that both
spheroid volume and shape may be a source of variability. We also compared some commercially
available viability assays specifically designed for 3D models. In conclusion, our data indicate the need
for a pre-selection of tumor spheroids of homogeneous volume and shape to reduce data variability to
a minimum before use in a cytotoxicity test. In addition, we identified and validated a cytotoxicity test
capable of providing meaningful data on the damage induced in large tumor spheroids of up to diameter
in 650 μm by different kinds of treatments.
Stem cells are one of the important cells present in both plant and animals. these cells have ability to regenerate any part of the body work similarily as meristem cells in plant. The advances in the stem cell technology has open a new era in medical field. the advances in this technology has been presented here and their important application has been included in this present in this presentation.

The term ‘Tissue culture ’ refers to the culture of whole organism, tissue fragments as well as dispersed cell on a suitable nutrient medium. Tissue culture is divided into the two broad groups, i) cultures that facilitates cell to cell interactions and signaling among cell and allow their study and ii) those in which cell to cell interactions and signaling are missing. The first group consist of three distinct types of culture system, viz., (i) Organ culture( in this, whole embryonic organs or small tissue fragments are cultured in vitro in such a manner that they retain their tissue architecture, i.e., the characteristic distribution of various cell types in the given organ) (ii) Histotypic cultures ( in this, individual cell lineages are first isolated from organ, purified and multiplied; they are grown separately to high density in three-dimensional matrix to study interactions and signaling among homologous cells. (iii) Organotypic cultures ( in this, cells of different lineages are mixed together in specific ratios and spatial relationships in order to recreate a component of concerned organ). The second group consists of cell culture either as monolayer (cells are obtained either by enzymatic or mechanical dispersal of tissues into individual cells or by spontaneous migration of cells from an explants or as suspension culture.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

2. Introduction
Cell culture is the process by which
prokaryotic, eukaryotic or plant cells are
grown under controlled conditions. But in
practice it refers to the culturing of cells
derived from animal cells.
Cell culture was first successfully undertaken
by Ross Harrison in 1907
Roux in 1885 for the first time maintained
embryonic chick cells in a cell culture
3. History
1916: Rous and Jones introduced proteolytic
enzyme trypsin for the subculture of adherent
cells.
1923: Carrel and Baker developed 'Carrel' or T-
flask as the first specifically designed cell culture
vessel. They employed microscopic evaluation of
cells in culture.
1925:subculthre of fibroblastic cell line.
1940s: The use of the antibiotics penicillin and
streptomycin in culture medium decreased the
problem of contamination in cell culture.
1955: Eagle studied the nutrient requirements of
selected cells in culture and established the first
widely used chemically defined medium (DMEM).
1961: Hayflick and Moorhead isolated human
fibroblasts (WI-38) and showed that they have a
4. .
1965: Ham introduced the first serum-free
medium which was able to support the growth of
some cells (Hams).
1975: Kohler and Milstein produced the first
hybridoma capable of secreting a monoclonal
antibody.
1982: Human insulin became the first
recombinant protein to be licensed as a
therapeutic agent.
1985: Human growth hormone produced from
recombinant bacteria was accepted for
therapeutic use.
1986: Lymphoblastoid γIFN licensed.
1987: Tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA)
from recombinant animal cells became
commercially available.
1989: Recombinant erythropoietin in trial.
5. Major development’s in cell culture
technology
First development was the use of
antibiotics which inhibits the growth of
contaminants.
Second was the use of trypsin to
remove adherent cells to subculture
further from the culture vessel
Third was the use of chemically defined
culture medium.
6. Primary culture
Cells when surgically or enzymatically removed
from an organism and placed in suitable culture
environment will attach and grow are called as
primary culture
Primary cells have a finite life span
Primary culture contains a very heterogeneous
population of cells
Sub culturing of primary cells leads to the
generation of cell lines
Cell lines have limited life span, they passage
several times before they become senescent (no
longer capable of dividing but still alive and
metabolically active).
Lineage of cells originating from the primary culture
7. Continuous cell lines
Most cell lines grow for a limited number of
generations after which they ceases
Cell lines which either occur spontaneously or
induced virally or chemically transformed into
Continous cell lines
Characteristics of continous cell lines
-Smaller, more rounded, less adherent with a
higher nucleus /cytoplasm ratio
-Fast growth and have aneuploid chromosome
number
-Reduced serum and anchorage dependence and
grow more in suspension conditions
-Ability to grow upto higher cell density
8. Types of cells
On the basis of morphology (shape &
appearance) or on their functional
characteristics. They are divided into three.
Epithelial like-attached to a substrate and
appears flattened and polygonal in shape
Lymphoblast like- cells do not attach remain
in suspension with a spherical shape
Fibroblast like- cells attached to an substrate
appears elongated and bipolar
9. Cell morphologies vary depending on cell type
Fibroblastic
Endothelial
Epithelial
Neuronal
10. Culture media
Choice of media depends on the type of cell being
cultured
Commonly used Medium are IMDM, RPMI,DMEM
etc.
Media is supplemented with antibiotics viz.
penicillin, streptomycin etc.
Prepared media is filtered and incubated at 4OC
12. How to culture cells in the laboratory?
Revive frozen cell population
Isolate from tissue
Maintain in culture (aseptic technique)
Sub-culture (passaging)
Cryopreservation
Count cells
Containment level 2
cell culture laboratory
Typical
cell culture flask
‘Mr Frosty’
Used to freeze cells
13. Passaging Cells
Why passage cells?
To maintain cells in culture (i.e. don’t overgrow)
To increase cell number for experiments/storage
How?
70-80% confluency
Wash in PBS to remove dead cells and serum
Trypsin digests protein-surface interaction to
release cells (collagenase also useful)
EDTA enhances trypsin activity
Resuspend in serum (inactivates trypsin)
Transfer dilute cell suspension to new flask
(fresh media)
Most cell lines will adhere in approx. 3-4 hours
Check confluency of cells
Remove spent medium
Wash with PBS
Resuspend in serum
containing media
Incubate with
trypsin/EDTA
Transfer to culture flask
70-80% confluence 100% confluence
14. Passage cells
Resuspend cells in serum
containing media
Centrifuge &
Aspirate supernatant
Transfer to cryovial
Freeze at -80oC
Resuspend cells in
10% DMSO in FCS
Why cryopreserve cells?
• Reduced risk of microbial contamination.
• Reduced risk of cross contamination with other cell
lines.
• Reduced risk of genetic drift and morphological
changes.
• Research conducted using cells at consistent low
passage.
How?
• Log phase of growth and >90% viability
• Passage cells & pellet for media exchange
• Cryopreservant (DMSO) – precise mechanism
unknown but prevents ice crystal formation
• Freeze at -80oC – rapid yet ‘slow’ freezing
• Liquid nitrogen -196oC
Transfer to liquid
nitrogen storage tank
Cryopreservation of Cells
16. Common cell lines
Human cell lines
MCF-7 breast cancer
HL 60 Leukemia
HEK-293 Human embryonic kidney
HeLa Henrietta lacks
Primate cell lines
Vero African green monkey kidney epithelial cells
Cos-7 African green monkey kidney cells
And others such as CHO from hamster, sf9 & sf21 from insect
cells
17. Contaminant’s of cell culture
Cell culture contaminants of two types
Chemical-difficult to detect caused by endotoxins,
plasticizers, metal ions or traces of disinfectants that
are invisible
Biological-cause visible effects on the culture they are
mycoplasma, yeast, bacteria or fungus or also from
cross-contamination of cells from other cell lines
18. Basic equipments used in cell culture
Laminar cabinet-Vertical are preferable
Incubation facilities- Temperature of 25-30 C for insect
& 37 C for mammalian cells,CO2 2-5% & 95% air at
99% relative humidity. To prevent cell death
incubators set to cut out at approx. 38.5OC
Refrigerators- Liquid media kept at 4OC, enzymes
(e.g. trypsin) & media components (e.g. glutamine &
serum) at -20OC
