Minimum Essential Medium Eagle (MEM) is a synthetic cell culture media, developed by Harry Eagle. It has high concentrations of amino acids, so the medium closely approximates the protein concentration of cultured mammalian cells. Optional supplementation of non-essential amino acids to the formulations that incorporate either Hanks′ or Earle′s salts has increased the applicability of this medium. This medium lacks calcium that permits the growth of cells in suspension. Modification of the original MEM formulation. Earle′s salts have been replaced with Hanks′ salts. Since the bicarbonate concentration is substantially lower, this medium has a substantially reduced buffering capacity.
Application
Minimum Essential Medium Eagle (MEM) has been used:
as a component of the Hank′s MEM (HMEM)-Pipes buffer to induce anaphylatoxin induced-ear swelling in mice[1]
as a component of the slice culture medium (SCM) for the incubation of mouse hippocampal slice cultures[2]

Synaptic plasticity, with its two most studied forms, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), is the cellular mechanism underlying learning and memory. Although it has been known for two decades that bidirectional synaptic plasticity necessitates a corresponding bidirectional regulation
Viral genetic tools that target specific brain cell types could transform basic neuroscience and targeted gene therapy. Here, we use comparative open chromatin analysis to identify thousands of human-neocortical-subclass-specific putative enhancers from across the genome to control gene expression in

The signaling cascade initiated in response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) has been extensively investigated in interphase cells. Here, we show that mitotic cells treated with DSB-inducing agents activate a "primary" DNA damage response (DDR) comprised of early signaling events
