The use of a suitable biological material, represented by the normal cell culture cell line RM, consisting of monkey kidney cells or of suitable experimental models allow the investigation of the reactivity of the cell protein synthesis process (illustrated by the total protein content of the cell cultures aged 72 hours, after a 48-hour treatment), cell proliferation (expressed by the evolution of the total cell number during cell culture development), cell viability (characterized by the dynamics of the dead / living cells ratio), cell apoptosis and cell culture development. Alteration of these processes reflects the cytotoxic impact of some products on protein synthesis, mitosis, cell apoptosis and cell viability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
