The NCI-H226 cell line, often abbreviated as H226, is a human cancer cell line derived from a patient with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer that develops in the pleura, the thin layer of tissue that covers the lungs and lines the chest cavity. This type of…
The H1155 cell line, also known as NCI-H1155, is a human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line derived from a patient with lung adenocarcinoma. It is widely used in cancer research, particularly in the study of lung cancer biology, drug resistance, and the development of novel therapeutic strategies. The H1155 cell line has been…
The H460 cell line is a human cancer cell line derived from a patient with large-cell lung carcinoma. It is also known as NCI-H460 or simply H460. This cell line is widely used in cancer research, particularly in studying lung cancer, drug resistance, and the development of novel therapeutics. The H460 cell line exhibits characteristics…
Tumors, also known as neoplasms, are abnormal growths of cells within the body. They can be broadly classified into two main categories: benign and malignant. a. Lipoma – a fatty tumor that develops in the adipose tissue. b. Hemangioma – a noncancerous growth of blood vessels. c. Fibroma – a tumor composed of fibrous or…
A clinical study is a research study in which people volunteer to participate. The purpose of a clinical study is to answer specific questions about new therapies or new ways of using known treatments. Clinical studies are the main way that doctors find out if a new medical approach is safe and effective. The main…
What is the Huh7 cell line? Huh-7 is an immortal cell line composed of epithelial-like, tumorigenic cells. The majority of Huh-7 cells show a chromosome number between 55 and 63 (mode 60) and are highly heterogeneous. These cells are adherent to the surface of flasks or plates and typically grow as 2D monolayers. Although containing…
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. It is caused by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the lungs. The most common type of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer, which accounts for about 80% of all lung cancer cases. What is lung cancer? Lung cancer is a…
Calu-3 is a human lung cancer cell line commonly used in cancer research and drug development. Calu-3 cells are epithelial and can act as respiratory models in preclinical applications. Calu-3 cells were first derived in 1975 by Germain Trempe and Jorgen Fogh of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The cells were isolated from the pleural effusion of a 25-year-old Caucasian male with lung…
Cancer research is an area of scientific research that seeks to identify the causes of cancer, find new treatments and develop strategies to prevent the disease. One type of cancer that is particularly difficult to treat is lung cancer. Lung oncology is one of the leading causes of cancer-associated deaths worldwide, and researchers are constantly…
