For industrial-scale culture of anchorage-dependent mammalian cell, such as vero cell, growth on the microcarriers offers certain advantages. As previous research reported, growth process can be illustrated by a growth curve - cell density versus time, which shows the change of cell density through whole growth process including: first adhesion stage; spreading and division stage; and last confluent stage. The growth curves are controlled by the culture condition (culture medium, temperature, pH value, inoculation concentration, etc.) and space condition (kind of microcarrier, microcarrier size, and surface property, etc.). Therefore, the cell growth curve is not only the important basis for studying growth kinetics, but also for designing biological reactors.Traditionally, total cell concentration for the microcarrier cultures were determined using the crystal violet method, and the cell nuclei were counted with a hemacytometer. in this method, the cells attached on each microcarrier were trypsinized and dyed by crystal violet dye, so that the number of nuclei counted was statistically representative. in this work, the cells and microcarriers were examined by using an environmental SEM - KYKY1500. As a result, the moist cells and microcarriers in SEM images show their natural characteristics, because this environmental SEM permits biological sample to be observed directly in an environmental specimen chamber without normal preparation for biological sample. As for the normal preparation, it needs a long duration, e.g. 2 days normally, to do fixing, desiccating and gold-coating. in contrast, the operation for observation of the biological samples in this SEM is much simpler. in view of this, a statistical counting method based on the SEM images for determining cell concentration during microcarrier culture was developed.

This study was to determine the growth pattern of Pseudomonas sp. by administering various concentration of D-glucose to the growth medium and to see its effect on various incubation times. Addition of D-Glucose in the growth medium as a source of bacterial carbon that can support the cell growth process. The results showed that, the use of D-glucose with various concentration in growth media of Pseudomonas sp. affect the formation of bacterial cell growth patterns. This study showed that Pseudomonas sp. using D-glucose substrate for it’s cell growth. While the longer incubation time didn’t had effect for the cell growth pattern due to the ability of bacteria in consuming substrates that are added to the growth medium.

Cortical microtubule arrays in elongating epidermal cells in both the root and stem of plants have the propensity of dynamic reorientations that are correlated with the activation or inhibition of growth. Factors regulating plant growth, among them the hormone auxin, have been recognized as regulators of microtubule array orientations. Some previous work in the field has aimed at elucidating the causal relationship between cell growth, the signaling of auxin or other growth-regulating factors, and microtubule array reorientations, with various conclusions. Here, we revisit this problem of causality with a comprehensive set of experiments in Arabidopsis thaliana, using the now available pharmacological and genetic tools. We use isolated, auxin-depleted hypocotyls, an experimental system allowing for full control of both growth and auxin signaling. We demonstrate that reorientation of microtubules is not directly triggered by an auxin signal during growth activation. Instead, reorientation is triggered by the activation of the growth process itself and is auxin-independent in its nature. We discuss these findings in the context of previous relevant work, including that on the mechanical regulation of microtubule array orientation.

It is well known that epithelial hyperplasia (benign hypertrophy) is common in the aging prostate of dogs and man. In contrast, little evidence is available for abnormal epithelial cell growth in seminal vesicles of aging animals. Recently, enlarged seminal vesicles were reported in senescent mice, however, that enlargement resulted from increased storage of secretion in the lumen and occurred concomitant to epithelial hypoplasia in that species.The present study is concerned with electron microscopic observations of changes occurring in the pseudostratified epithelium of the seminal vescles of aging rats. Special attention is given to certain non-epithelial cells which have entered the epithelial layer.

In the last decade and a half, thin film research, particularly research into problems associated with epitaxy, has developed from a simple empirical process of determining the conditions for epitaxy into a complex analytical and experimental study of the nucleation and growth process on the one hand and a technology of very great importance on the other. During this period the thin films group of the University of Chile has studied the epitaxy of metals on metal and insulating substrates. The development of the group, one of the first research groups in physics to be established in the country, has parallelled the increasing complexity of the field.The elaborate techniques and equipment now needed for research into thin films may be illustrated by considering the plant and facilities of this group as characteristic of a good system for the controlled deposition and study of thin films.

In situ preparation of cell cultures for ultrastructural investigations is a convenient method by which fixation, dehydration and embedment are carried out in the culture petri dish. The in situ method offers the advantage of preserving the native orientation of cell-cell interactions, junctional regions and overlapping configurations. In order to section after embedment, the petri dish is usually separated from the polymerized resin by either differential cryo-contraction or solvation in organic fluids. The remaining resin block must be re-embedded before sectioning. Although removal of the petri dish may not disrupt the native cellular geometry, it does sacrifice what is now recognized as an important characteristic of cell growth: cell-substratum molecular interactions. To preserve the topographic cell-substratum relationship, we developed a simple method of tapered rotary beveling to reduce the petri dish thickness to a dimension suitable for direct thin sectioning.

Recently, the growth process and relaxation process of crystalline structures were studied by observing a SI nano-pyramid which was built on a Si surface with a UHV-STM. A UHV-STM (JEOL JSTM-4000×V) was used for studying a heated specimen, and the specimen was kept at high temperature during observation. In this study, the nano-fabrication technique utilizing the electromigration effect between the STM tip and the specimen was applied. We observed Si atoms migrated towords the tip on a high temperature Si surface.Clean surfaces of Si(lll)7×7 and Si(001)2×l were prepared In the UHV-STM at a temperature of approximately 600 °C. A Si nano-pyramid was built on the Si surface at a tunneling current of l0nA and a specimen bias voltage of approximately 0V in both polarities. During the formation of the pyramid, Images could not be observed because the tip was stopped on the sample. After the formation was completed, the pyramid Image was observed with the same tip. After Imaging was started again, the relaxation process of the pyramid started due to thermal effect.
