General description

The Transwell® cell culture inserts feature a distinctive self-centered and hanging design that effectively prevents the unwanted wicking of medium between the insert and outer well. This in turn ensures the uninterrupted and intact co-culturing of cells in the lower compartment, allowing for undisturbed cell growth and maintenance.

Application

The Corning® Costar® Transwell® cell culture inserts are well-suited for cell staining applications and various chemotaxis assays, including fibroblast migration studies, tumor invasion and metastasis, trans-migrational studies, and invasion inhibition research. The inserts have been used in:
  • Transwell assay to study the role of TGF-β-MTA1-SMAD7-SMAD3-SOX4-EZH2 signaling axis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells
  • MTT Assay to study GAS5-mediated signaling in osteosarcoma cells
  • tri-cultured neuroinflammation model

Features and Benefits

  • 10 μm thick transparent polyester membrane
  • Treated for optimal cell attachment
  • Sterilized by gamma radiation Lids included TC-treated surface 0.33 cm2 cell growth area
  • Can be coated with a diverse range of extracellular matrices (ECM) and basement membrane extracts (BME)
  • Optical clarity enables clear visualization of cell outlines when observed under phase contrast microscopy
  • Offers compatibility with histochemical stains and fluorochromes for various cell staining applications

The abilities of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) to regulate immune responses in the context of radiotherapy remain largely unknown. This study was undertaken to determine whether ionizing radiation alters the CAF-mediated immunoregulatory effects on macrophages. CAFs were isolated from freshly-resected non-small

Elevated uptake of saturated fatty acid palmitate is associated with metastatic progression of cancer cells; however, the precise signaling mechanism behind the phenomenon is unclear. The loss of cell adhesion proteins, such as desmoplakin (DSP), is a key driving event

Growth Arrest Specific 5 (GAS5), a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), functions as a tumor suppressor in multiple cancers. However, its function, downstream targets and upstream regulatory mechanism are still obscure in osteosarcoma cells. Here, we discovered that GAS5 was downregulated
