Cell culture contamination is a major concern for biological and biomedical research, as well as for biologics therapeutics production. Although some contaminants are relatively evident, such as ...

In cell culture, mycoplasma inhibit protein biosynthesis and cell growth and alter RNA and DNA synthesis, thus they can affect research results. In cell-based therapeutics and in advanced therapy ...

Mycoplasma is a prokaryotic organism that is a frequent and occult contaminant of cell cultures. This organism can modify many aspects of cell physiology, rendering experiments that are conducted ...

Cell lines. All mycoplasma-infected cell lines are continuous human LL cell lines growing in suspension. 4 Cultures were grown either in 24-well-plates or 50 ml plastic flasks (Nunc, Wiesbaden ...

The Global Mycoplasma Testing Market is expected to witness a high growth rate of 11% from 2022 to 2027. Growing R&D ...

Mycoplasma can have a drastic effect on cells and cell cultures, to the point where a contaminated culture may not work the way that it is supposed to, as it may not metabolize things correctly or ...

An immunocompromised woman’s cat stirred up a lot more trouble than usual (for a cat). In a recent case report, doctors ...

In cell laboratories, the majority of mycoplasma infections in continuous cell lines are caused by only a few species, originating from bovine, swine and humans. These microbial agents easily ...

Mycoplasma is a common bacterial contaminator in cell culture laboratories. Mycoplasma contamination has been shown to induce cellular changes, e.g. susceptibility to drugs, which could render any ...

Several methods for detecting mycoplasma in cell cultures are available, which together provide researchers with a toolkit of options to effectively identify mycoplasma and take the necessary steps to ...

One of the most prominent structures when one looks at a cryo-ET image of a Mycoplasma cell are tiny dark blobs -- these are the ribosomes. "The ribosome is one of the most ancient macromolecular ...
