The floor plate is a crucial structure of the developing spinal cord, providing diffusible signals to progenitors and differentiating neurons. We describe a method to produce floor-plate conditioned medium, to apply it to fresh spinal cord tissue, and to assess the consequences on proteins of interest by biochemistry.

Xenopus laevis provides an ideal model system for studying cell fate specification and physiological function of individual retinal cells in primary cell culture. Here we present a technique for dissecting retinal tissues and generating primary cell cultures that are imaged for calcium activity and analyzed by in situ hybridization.

Histotypic Tissue Culture

Although two-dimensional tissue culture has been common for some time, cells behave more realistically in a three-dimensional culture, and more closely mimics native tissue. This video introduces histotypic tissue culture, where the growth and propagation of one cell line is done in an engineered three-dimensional matrix to reach high cell density. Here, we show the harvesting of cells from donor tissue, followed by cell culture on an engineered construct.

Whole organs can be cultured ex vivo using specialized bioreactors with the goal of repairing or replacing entire organs. This method uses a donor organ that is stripped of all cells, leaving behind the three-dimensional structure, which is then repopulated with new cells. This video demonstrates the whole organ culture of lungs and shows how a dynamic culture that mimics the mechanical stimulation in the body is needed to induce native tissue properties.
FAQs
Each readout captures a different aspect of cell behavior. Metabolic, fluorescent, or colorimetric signals can indicate changes associated with viability or proliferation, while staining and microscopy can reveal cellular morphology. Using the readout that matches the experimental question helps distinguish altered survival, growth, or appearance after treatment rather than relying on a single measurement.
Researchers compare cellular measurements across defined drug concentrations to determine whether the response changes as exposure increases or decreases. A pattern in viability, proliferation, or other measured outcomes can show how strongly a treatment influences cultured cancer cells. These comparisons support identification of treatment effects and help evaluate conditions for further study.
Morphology provides visual information that numerical viability measurements may not capture. Microscopy or staining can show changes in cellular appearance between treated and untreated groups, while viability or proliferation assays quantify broader response patterns. Considering both types of evidence allows researchers to compare treatment-associated cellular behavior with measured survival or growth outcomes.
The approach supports comparisons among cancer cell models, treatment conditions, and drug concentrations when those variables are defined across wells. Researchers can examine whether groups differ in viability, proliferation, morphology, or treatment response. Such structured comparisons make it possible to evaluate how a compound or biological condition influences cell behavior under controlled experimental settings.
Cells are grown in multiwell plates, exposed to defined conditions or selected drug concentrations, and then evaluated with an appropriate assay or imaging method. Researchers may measure metabolic, fluorescent, or colorimetric signals, apply staining, or use microscopy. Results are compared across experimental groups to assess changes in survival, proliferation, morphology, or treatment response.
The measurement should correspond to the biological outcome under investigation. Viability-focused questions may use metabolic, fluorescent, or colorimetric signals, whereas morphology-focused questions may require staining or microscopy. When treatment effects include several possible changes, combining quantitative signals with visual assessment can provide a broader view of how cultured cells respond.
It is useful when researchers need to compare how cultured tumor or model cells respond to multiple treatment conditions or drug concentrations. Measurements can identify cytotoxic effects, reveal differences in cellular behavior, and generate dose-response data. These results support screening candidate compounds and refining conditions for subsequent cancer research experiments.
Using multiwell plates allows researchers to evaluate defined conditions across organized experimental groups and apply comparable measurements to each group. Quantitative signals, staining, or microscopy can document treatment-associated changes in a consistent format. This supports reproducible analysis of cancer cell survival, proliferation, morphology, and responses to compounds or biological conditions.
