A protocol for the encapsulation in sodium alginate of granulosa cells in primary culture and co-culture of oocyte-cumulus complexes is reported. Sodium alginate forms strong gels when jellified with barium ions, allowing the self-organization of cells into a 3D structure. This method of encapsulation is simple and cheap, allowing the culture of cells in a 3-dimensional fashion.

Abstract

A protocol for the encapsulation in sodium alginate of granulosa cells in primary culture and co-culture of oocyte-cumulus complexes is reported. Sodium alginate forms strong gels when jellified with barium ions, allowing the self-organization of cells into a 3D structure. This method of encapsulation is simple and cheap, allowing the culture of cells in a 3-dimensional fashion.

Pharmacology & Toxicology includes all aspects of pharmacology, toxicology, and pharmaceutics. Of particular importance are cellular and molecular pharmacology, drug design and metabolism, mechanisms of drug action, drug delivery, natural products, xenobiotics, and clinical therapeutics. Toxicology coverage considers cellular and molecular effects of harmful substances, environmental toxicology, occupational exposure, and clinical toxicology. Drug bulletins, drug updates, and pharmaceutical newsletters are excluded as are resources on pharmaceutical engineering. Medicinal chemistry, or synthesis and chemical analysis of pharmaceuticals are placed in the Chemistry & Analysis category.
