The main objective of this study was to analyze the changes in osteoblast behaviors by two
different methods, a simple digital image analysis method and conventional assays …

Misidentification and contamination of biobank samples (eg cell lines) have plagued
biomedical research. Short tandem repeat (STR) and single-nucleotide polymorphism …

Emerging evidence has unraveled the important implications of microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs)
in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The aim of the present study was to assess the possible …

In recent years, cell culture has become an important tool not only in research laboratories,
but also in diagnostic and biotechnological development laboratories. Mycoplasma …

Contaminated eukaryotic cell cultures are frequently responsible for unreliable results.
Regulatory entities request that cell cultures must be mycoplasma-free. Mycoplasma …

Introduction Long-term administration of bisphosphonates (BPs) may cause osteonecrosis of
the jaw (BRONJ). After administration, 50% of BPs in the circulation rapidly binds to calcium …

Background Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare, aggressive and highly lethal tumor. The
disease is very difficult to diagnose and multi-modality treatments are ineffective. To improve …

Background Breast tumor stiffness, which can be objectively and noninvasively evaluated by
ultrasound elastography (UE), has been useful for the differentiation of benign and …

Mycoplasma, Acholeplasma, and Ureaplasma sp. are atypical bacteria responsible for in
vitro cell culture contaminations that can warp the results. These bacteria also cause human …

Objective Mycoplasmas are major contaminants of cell culture and affect in vitro biological
and diagnostic tests. Mycoplasma detection is conducted using culture and molecular …
