  Cell culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Related to cell culture are tissue culture and organ culture, which refer to methods for growing pieces of tissue or entire organs removed from an organism in an artificial environment.
Cell lines that originate with humans are somewhat controversial in bioethics, as they may easily outlive their parent organism and lead to the discovery of lucrative medical treatments.
Due to the H5N1 pandemic threat, research into using cell culture for flu vaccines is being funded by the United States government in areas as diverse as using the common cold as a vector of adjuvants.

 Cell (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cell is the structural and functional unit of all living organisms, and is sometimes called the "building block of life." Some organisms, such as bacteria, are unicellular, consisting of a single cell.
The cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell is surrounded by a plasma membrane.
This membrane serves to separate and protect a cell from its surrounding environment and is made mostly from a double layer of lipids (fat-like molecules) and proteins.

 Bioengineering - Cell Culture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Cultures normally contain cells of one type although mixed cultures, especially of bacteria, are common in food sciences and wastewater treatment related studies.
The cells in culture may be genetically identical (homogenous population) or may show some genetic variation (heterogeneous population).
The original impetus for the development of cell culture was to study, under the microscope, normal physiological events such as nerve development.

 Beginning Molecular Biology Laboratory Manual
The cells are grown in an atmosphere of 5-10% CO because the medium used is buffered with sodium bicarbonate/carbonic acid and the pH must be strictly maintained.
Cultures should be examined daily, observing the morphology, the color of the medium and the density of the cells.
Prepare a cell suspension, either directly from a cell culture or from a concentrated or diluted suspension (depending on the cell density) and combine 20 μl of cells with 20 μl of trypan blue suspension (0.4%).

 Cell Phone Culture
I believe that cell phones, by allowing people to insulate their private interactions from the culture around them, will encourage a kind of “walled garden” of micro-cultures that is complex, but exclusive.
Cell phone penetration is expected to outstrip computer penetration in Asia for several years, and most cell phones are used by people under 25.
Cell phones seem similar, in that the object itself was not created to fill a specific need, but rather has potentialities that are realized differently by different people or are exploited differently by corporate rivals.

 Cell Culture by Ashley Mack
Cell cultures are used as a research technique in fundamental cytology to investigate normal cell metabolism.
Cell cultures have been used as a medium for the growth of viruses, the detection of viruses and the diagnosis of viral types (Woodliff, 1964).
The aim of culturing cells outside the body is to isolate them from the controlling influence of the organism and to bring them into a suitable state for examination and experimentation (Woodliff, 1964).

 Endothelial Cell Culture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
In general, cells are placed on the outsides of the fiber where they can attach and grow, while cell culture medium is continuously circulated through the interior of the fibers to provide nutrients and oxygenation.
Endothelial cells cultured under chronic shear stress respond in a physiologic manner and form a monolayer, stop dividing, orient to the flow of medium and form tight junctions.
Endothelial cells on the inside of the fiber co-cultured with vascular smooth muscle cells on the outside of the fiber demonstrated that as the flow rate was changed, G-protein formation and endothelin receptor expression in the smooth muscle were directly affected.

 Cell Biology Lab- Tissue Culture Methods
Primary cell cultures are derived from rat, mouse and human in the Lab.
The advantages of primary cultures are that the cells have not been "modified" in any way (other than enzymatic or physical dissociation).
The disadvantages of primary cultures are the mixed nature of each preparation, limited lifespan of the culture and the potential contamination problems.

 Cell Culture Techniques Introduction
The European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC) was first established within CAMR, Salisbury, UK in 1984 and has grown to be one of the largest animal cell culture collections in the world.
Cell line DNA is typically of high quality and a viable cell offers the opportunity to examine other types of molecule, such as RNA or cellular proteins, if required at a later date.
A further 60 cell lines from the 13th IHW collection are due to be added later this year, along with a number of recently banked lines that were originally part of the 10th IHW collection.

The main culture of interest is the cell culture, which allows for the culture of isolated cells from a very small cluster dispersed in a liquid media.
The cell suspension is then placed on a shaker to allow the cell aggregates to disperse to form smaller clumps and single cells that are equally distributed throughout the liquid media.
Cell cultures are also useful for the secondary metabolites they produce.

 Official Petaka Cell Culture FAQ Huvek Hela Cell Human Monocytes - Human Epidermocytes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
The Petaka™ cell culture device isolates ambient air and moisture conditions from the cells growing in the inside chamber, avoiding excess of oxygen and slowing down of pH changes.
The experimental average yield from tests performed in laboratories is about 750,000 cells /ml of media, equal or slightly better than the average yields of the classic T-flask cell culture device which yields 600,000 cells / ml of media.
While cells cultured in a Petaka can be incubated in a water bath, a regular dry incubator without controlled CO2, or in humid incubators with controlled CO2, optimizing cell growth may may require an incubator to maintain more consistent temperature control.

 Cell Culture Freezing Media Protocol
Cells were stored in a liquid nitrogen refrigerator, thawed quickly in a 37°C circulating water bath, diluted into complete media, pelleted for 5 minutes at 1000 rpm at 4°C, resuspended in complete media, and plated into the appropriate size culture vessel.
Adherent cells were allowed to plate for 16 hours at which time the media was collected and centrifuged to collect the "floating cells" that did not plate.
The cells were counted on a hemocytometer and the % viability was determined as described for suspension cells.

 Forum examines 'Cell Phone Culture' - MIT News Office
Cell phones have transformed the micro-culture of classrooms and may shape the macro-culture of global youth, according to two experts in mobile communications and cultural change who gave talks at an MIT Communications Forum, "Cell Phone Culture," held on Thursday, Nov. 17, in Bartos Theater.
The "Cell Phone" panelists were James Katz, professor of communications at Rutgers University and director of the Center for Mobile Communications Studies, and Jing Wang, S. Fang Professor of Chinese Languages and Culture at MIT.
Wang portrayed a different cultural landscape in China, where cell phones are widely used in place of standard telephones and where transnational businesses are working to create a profitable youth music market.
