The Influence of Micronutrients in Cell Culture: A Reflection on Viability and Genomic Stability
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Micronutrients, including minerals and vitamins, are indispensable to DNA metabolic pathways and thus are as important for life as macronutrients. Without the proper nutrients, genomic instability compromises homeostasis, leading to chronic diseases and certain types of cancer. Cell-culture media try to mimic the in vivo environment, providing in vitro models used to infer cells' responses to different stimuli....
