“…7 However, the impact of released compounds from denture soft lining polymers on the physiological processes of local cells and tissues is rarely reported in the literature, with studies often limited to cytotoxicity tests, that is, whether the cells ‘live or die’. 1–6,8 Thus, in this study, the effect of soft reliners was evaluated not only on cell survival, using the alamarBlue cell metabolism assay, but also on two molecules that act as key regulators in wound repair, namely, Integrin α 5 β 1 and TGF-β 1 , using ELISA 96-well assays. Unlike many other cell metabolism/survival assays commonly used, such as 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), 1–6,8 alamarBlue is a non-destructive method 9 that allows continuous monitoring of the same cell population throughout the entire study period.…”
