Cell growth at cavities created inside silica monoliths synthesized by sol-gel
A normal cell division and growth inside a mineral host has been achieved for the first time, overcoming the limits imposed by cell survival. The diffusion time of nutrients within the porous silica monolith is fast enough to allow growing rates almost indistinguishable from a traditional culture. F...

| Sumario: | A normal cell division and growth inside a mineral host has been achieved for the first time, overcoming the limits imposed by cell survival. The diffusion time of nutrients within the porous silica monolith is fast enough to allow growing rates almost indistinguishable from a traditional culture. Further controls were carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the silica barrier in avoiding contamination by biological agent's entrance. The inorganic matrix provides an effective mechanical barrier for the isolation of continuous growing cultures. |
