Fetal bovine serum (FBS) has been used in cell culture for decades. In journal articles, it is normally listed in the Materials and Methods section alongside other cell culture ingredients, such as sodium chloride (NaCl) or antibodies. However, unlike the chemically defined NaCl molecule or an antibody that is subjected to questions regarding the identity of the clone and its source, FBS surprisingly has not endured the same level of scrutiny even though it introduces the greatest variability…

Serum-free cell culture: the serum-free media interactive online database.

The second collection of commercially available serum-free media in an updated, freely accessible interactive online database is presented to create a platform for the interactive exchange of information and experience by experts in the field in order to continuously improve and extend the serum- free online database.

The effect of fibrinogen, collagen type I, and fibronectin on mesenchymal stem cell growth and differentiation into osteoblasts.

The results suggest that the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs is influenced by both culturing conditions and substrate and that together they have a synergistic effect.

Differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells from human embryonic stem cells on vitronectin-derived synthetic peptide acrylate surface.

It is demonstrated that synthetic VN-PAS can replace complex, animal-origin ECM to support OPC differentiation from hESCs.

The interplay between surfaces and soluble factors define the immunologic and angiogenic properties of myeloid dendritic cells

In order to design DC-based vaccines or treatments focused on changing the phenotype of DCs associated with diseases such as cancer or atherosclerosis, it becomes necessary to fully investigate the microenvironment in which these cells are present or will be delivered.

Adhesive substrates modulate the activation and stimulatory capacity of non-obese diabetic mouse-derived dendritic cells.

Serum lipids regulate dendritic cell CD1 expression and function

The findings indicate that the ability of human DCs to present lipid antigens to T cells through expression of CD1 molecules is sensitively regulated by lysophosphatidic acid and cardiolipin in serum, which are ligands that can activate PPAR transcription factors.

Ion concentrations in subcutaneous interstitial fluid: measured versus expected values.

On theoretical ground it was concluded: the Donnan distribution is valid, if the size of "free-fluid spaces" is relatively large compared with the rather short range of electrostatic interactions, and the influence of proteins on the distribution of small ions is negligible.

Masking epistasis between MYC and TGF-β pathways in antiangiogenesis-mediated colon cancer suppression.

In human CRC, gain- of-function alterations in Myc and loss-of- function alterations in TGF-β exhibit a masking epistatic interaction and are functionally redundant.

Interstitial fluid concentrations of glycerol, glucose, and amino acids in human quadricep muscle and adipose tissue. Evidence for significant lipolysis in skeletal muscle.

The data suggest unexpectedly high rates of intramuscular lipolysis in humans that may play an important role in fuel metabolism and this disparity is most pronounced for glycerol which is raised in muscle as well as adipose tissue.

Proteomic Analysis for the Assessment of Different Lots of Fetal Bovine Serum as a Raw Material for Cell Culture. Part IV. Application of Proteomics to the Manufacture of Biological Drugs

This study grew three batches of adult retinal pigment epithelial cells using three different lots of fetal bovine serum and found that the growth rate of the culture was significantly and consistently higher in the FBS‐II lot, to determine why the other lots promoted different growth properties.
