New in Vitro Strategy of Astrocytoma (Astrocytes-like) Cells Treated with Pioglitazone ( PPAR gamma agoinst) Offers Neuroprotection Against Nanoparticle-Induced Cytotoxity

Wong Y.Y.W., Jaiswal A., Dukhande V.V., Bhushan A., Leung S.W., Lai J.C.K., Idaho State University, US

Recently, we and others have developed several cell models for the investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying the cytotoxicity of nanoparticles of several metallic and non-metallic oxides. These important findings have raised the awareness for [...]

Elucidation of Neuroprotective Properties of Astrocytoma (Astrocytes-like) Cells in Neural Cell Culture Models In Vitro: Applications in Tissue Engineering and Nanotoxicology

Wong Y.Y.W., Jaiswal A., Dukhande V.V., Bhushan A., Leung S.W., Lai J.C.K., Idaho State University, US

Evidence is accumulating that cell culture models in vitro facilitate high throughput and mechanistic studies in tissue engineering. We have developed several cell models for the systematic investigation of molecular mechanisms underlying the putative cytotoxicity [...]

A Non-contact Co-Culture Model of Peripheral Neural Cells for Nanotoxicity, Tissue Engineering and Pathophysiological Studies

Jaiswal A., Wong Y.Y.W., Bhushan A., Daniels C., Lai J.C.K., Idaho State University, US

Cell culture models in vitro have long served as tools for the elucidation of pathophysioligcal cellular and molecular mechanisms of diseases. Recently these versatile model systems have permeated into toxicology and tissue engineering research. Although [...]

Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring (QCM-D): Real-Time Characterization of Nano-Scale Interactions at the surfaces

Jaiswal A., Smoukov S., Poggi M., Grzybowski B., Q-Sense, Inc., US

There has been an increasing demand for analytical tools that can quantify the interaction and/or reaction of nano-scale particles, polymers as well as bio-molecules, with various surfaces. In-situ monitoring of structural and dynamic changes of [...]
