Cell Culture Research Using Primary Cells
Cell culture consists of the transfer of cells from their origin to a suitable laboratory environment for study and research. At Cell Culture Company, we have significant knowledge in the area of cell culture research.
Cell Culture and Research
In cellular and molecular biology research, cell culture is an essential tool. The use of primary cells in cell culture is utilized for modeling systems. These models support the study of the biochemistry and physiology of cells, metabolism, drug toxicity, and additional biomedical applications. Globally, researchers use primary cells in cell culture in order to maintain the efficiency, regularity, and consistency of results.
Some of the applications of primary cells to cell culture research include:
Cancer Research
Primary cells study the difference between cancer and normal cells. This cell culture can be used in the screening of under- or over-expressed markers that lead to oncogenic activation. Also, the use of primary cells as control model in cancer research is common.
3D Model System
Primary cells as 3D models for the study of biochemistry and biology, pathological interactions, cell interactions, aging, toxicology and drug effects, and other research areas.
Testing for Toxicity
Primary cells evaluate the toxic effect of cosmetics, chemicals, and new drugs on cells. They can also be utilized in drug screening, development, and dosage determination.
Virology
Primary cell cultures detect, mimic, and isolate viruses to learn about their cycles of growth and development. In virology, they also study infection – its mode and mechanism.
Replacement Organ or Tissue
Primary cells are key in research regarding stem cell culture. Additionally, the potential for self-replication and differentiation of these cells into various cell lineages for tissue and organ regeneration.
Primary cells are an invaluable component of modern biomedical research.
