A) Organ culture
B) Tissue culture
C) Bacterial culture
D) Genetic culture
D) Genetic culture
What is the significance of the term ‘aseptic technique’ in cell culture?
It refers to procedures used to prevent contamination of cell cultures.
What is the role of trypsin in cell culture?
To detach adherent cells from the culture surface.
True or False: Cell cultures can be used for drug testing.
True
What does the term ‘subculturing’ refer to in cell culture?
The process of transferring cells from one culture vessel to another.
What are stem cells, in the context of cell culture?
Cells that have the ability to differentiate into various cell types.
Why is it interesting to have 3D cell culture systems?
To better mimic the in vivo environment for more accurate biological responses.
What is one ethical concern associated with cell culture?
The use of human embryonic stem cells.
Fill in the blank: __________ culture involves growing cells in a three-dimensional environment.
3D
What is the purpose of using a CO2 incubator in cell culture?
To maintain the appropriate temperature and CO2 levels for cell growth.
Name a technique used to visualize cells in culture.
Microscopy
What is the primary challenge faced in maintaining cell cultures over time?
Contamination
La principal ventaja de realizar estudios en cultivo es que el experimentador puede controlar las condiciones experimentales, evitando las interacciones e interferencias que se dan con el organismo.
V
*Realmente siempre hay variables o imprevistos, pero la capacidad de control es muy elevada.
Los cultivos tienen la ventaja de ser muy sencillos, en contra partida, su versatilidad está bastante limitada por la delicadeza de las células
F
También son muy versátiles en el sentido de que a las células en cultivo les puedes “putear” mucho –> hacer muchos subcultivos tratar con cualquier cosa y cualquier dosis…
Sydney Ringer desarrolló a finales del siglo XX una solución salina, (solución de Ringer), que contiene NaCl, K+, Ca2+ y Mg2+. En esta solución, consiguió mantener latiendo el corazón de un pollo.
F
Finales del sXIX
Wilhem Roux, a finales del sXIX, descubrió la importancia de la temperatura para mantener un cultivo.
V
En 1885, Wilhelm Roux mantuvo células de embrión de pollo en solución salina tibia durante unos días, estableciendo el principio de los cultivos tisulares → el organismo tiene una Tº de unos 37ºC y es i! para la supervivencia de las cél.
