General description

Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s medium (DME) is a modification of Basal Medium Eagle (BME), which has a four-fold higher concentration of amino acids and vitamins along with additional supplementary components. The first original DME formula was reported to culture embryonic mouse cells comprising 1,000 mg/L of glucose. An alteration with 4,500 mg/L glucose is optimal in cultivating certain cell types. DME has been shown to improve the stability of the medium.

Application

Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s medium-low glucose has been used to culture:
  • living colon cancer SW620 cells
  • human breast carcinoma cell lines MCF-7(13), KPL and MDA-MB-231
  • mammal and canine derived adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells

Reconstitution

Supplement with 0.584 g/L L-glutamine.

Other Notes

Investigators who work with stem cells or cell clones frequently prefer media without phenol red.

Cellular biomechanics play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of several diseases. Unfortunately, current methods to measure biomechanical properties are invasive and mostly limited to the surface of a cell. As a result, the mechanical behaviour of subcellular structures and

Photobiomodulation-based (LLLT) therapies show tantalizing promise for treatment of skin diseases. Confidence in this approach is blighted however by lamentable inconsistency in published experimental designs, and so complicates interpretation. Here we interrogate the appropriateness of a range of previously-reported treatment
