Prayagraj: State-of-the-art cell culture facility has become operational in the center of Prayagraj. Biotechnology Of Allahabad University,
It is set up in the laboratory of the specialized cell culture facility Prof. Awadh Bihari Yadav of the center. This facility is designed for the growth and maintenance of cells in-vitro. It provides a controlled environment where animal and human cells can be cultured and manipulated for a variety of purposes, including research, drug development, biotechnology and medical applications.
Major components of an animal cell culture facility include biosafety cabinets, CO2 incubators, single-cell counter, a centrifugation machine and a phase contrast inverted microscope. in the past, different animalsFor example, rats and rabbits were used in laboratories to test the effects and harmful effects of drugs, which unfortunately often led to the death of the animals.
“Additionally, due to strict regulations regarding the use of animals in research, scientists face many challenges in developing new tests, and cell culture-based tests have proven to be the most reliable in overcoming this limitation.” This facility will accelerate cell culture-based research at the university and promote collaboration with researchers both within and outside the university”, Yadav said while talking to TOI.
An animal cell culture facility has many applications in various fields. Initially, this facility will enable us to study the effects of drugs, plant extracts and nanomaterials on the A549 lung cancer cell line. The harmful effects of drugs, therapeutic molecules and nanomaterials will be assessed after exposure to the A549 lung cancer cell line.
The applications of this feature are not limited to the above uses. “It can be further expanded in the near future as per the requirements in various fields such as biomedical research, drug discovery and development, biotechnology, vaccine development, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine,” he added.
Overall, cell culture facilities play an important role in advancing scientific knowledge, developing new treatments and therapies, and facilitating discoveries in various fields of biology, medicine, and biotechnology. He emphasized that the Animal Cell Culture facility would enable accurate testing of drugs and herbal medicines in the laboratory.
