Several modifications of Grace′s medium were developed in several laboratories in the late 1960′s and 1970′s. Many of these modifications were developed by Dr. W.F. Hink for the growth of cells derived from the cabbage looper, Tricoplusia ni. This formula represents the modification known as TNM-FH. The medium when properly supplemented has been found to support the growth of cells derived from a variety of lepidopteran species.
Application
TNM-FH insect medium has been used to culture Sf9 insect cells.[1][2][3]

The regulation of the two isoforms of phospholipase C-gamma, PLCgamma(1) and PLCgamma(2), by cell surface receptors involves protein tyrosine phosphorylation as well as interaction with adapter proteins and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdInsP(3)) generated by inositol phospholipid 3-kinases (PI3Ks). All three processes
A modification of a flow contraction device was used to subject shear-sensitive microalgae to well-defined hydrodynamic forces. The aim of the study was to elucidate if the inhibition of shear-induced growth commonly observed in dinoflagellate microalgae is in effect due
The ABCG2 membrane protein is a key xeno- and endobiotic transporter, modulating the absorption and metabolism of pharmacological agents and causing multidrug resistance in cancer. ABCG2 is also involved in uric acid elimination and its impaired function is causative in
