The Origin of Cells: Enzymatic Disintegration of Tissue

From INTEGRA Biosciences AG
 

 

Our own cells Susi Pensa and Adi Herence have been living for quite some time happily alongside each other in the cell culture incubator. Up to now they have thought little about their own origins.

Susi's figure is somewhat rotund and she lives floating in cell culture medium as a so-called suspension cell. Before she was promoted to a cell line, she had lived in the blood of an animal organism and simply allowed herself to be taken wherever the blood stream took her.

Looking at her own reflection in the silver incubator wall, Susi started wondering about the way Adi looked. He had a much broader but flatter constitution. And he stood quite firmly on the floor of the cell culture bottle with his lamellipodian feet. He doesn't even fall over if the bottle is moved abruptly.
