Application

D-(−)-Ribose has been used for microtissue fabrication and in cell culture.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ribose is an aldopentose monosaccharide that is phosphorylated into D-ribose 5-phosphate by ribokinase. Ribose-5-phosphate supports the biosynthesis of tryptophan and histidine and is a component of the pentose phosphate pathway.

Suitability

This D-ribose has been qualified for use as a supplement in cell culture.

When stretched, cells cultured on 2D substrates share a universal softening and fluidization response that arises from poorly understood remodeling of well-conserved cytoskeletal elements. It is known, however, that the structure and distribution of the cytoskeleton is profoundly influenced by
