Microcells Development and Endocytosis Ability Morphological and Quantitative Characterization in HeLa Cancer Cells
Determination of endocytotic ability of cancer cells could improve tumor treatment results. The aim of this study was to investigate morphological aspects of development in HeLa (Henrietta Lacks cervical cancer cells) microcells and to quantitatively estimate the endocytotic capability of these cells.
<title>Influence of strong static magnetic field on human cancer HT 1080 cells</title>
The aim of this study was to investigate strong uniform magnetic field influence on the human cancer cells HT 1080. The cells were treated with magnetic field of intensity 1,16 Tesla and with anticancer agent - cis-platinum 0.025 mg/ml or vincristinum 2-3 ng/ml. The intact and the treated cell samples were incubated in a medium with acridine orange (AO). The magnetic field after 15 minutes of influence significantly increased cytoplasmic red fluorescence. Increased AO accumulation in lysosomes suggested to cancer cell metabolic activity stimulation.© (2001) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
