Background: Expansion and differentiation of stem cells relies on the soluble materials as well as the physical conditions of their microenvironment. Several methods have been studied in attempt to enhance the growth and differentiation rates of different adult stem cells extracted from different sources. Objectives: The purpose was to improve the three-dimensional (3D) culture condition of th...

Deregulation of molecular pathways controlling cell survival and death, including programmed cell death, are thought to be important factors in tumor formation, disease progression, and response to therapy. Studies devoted to analyzing the role of programmed cell death in cancer have been carried out primarily using conventional monolayer cell culture systems. However the majority of cancers gr...

background and objectives : each year, enteroviruses infect millions of people and cause different diseases. the agents are usually detected using cell culture. rd (rhabdomyosarcoma) and l20b (l cells) are among the recommended cells by the world health organisation (who) for this purpose. even though cell culture is the most common method used in diagnosing enteroviruses in stool specimens, th...
