The study of drugs diffusion through different biological membranes constitutes an essential step in the development of new pharmaceuticals. In this study, the method based on the monolayer cell culture of CHO-K1 cells has been developed in order to emulate the epithelial cells barrier in permeability studies by laser interferometry. Laser interferometry was employed for the experimental analysis of nickel(II) and cobalt(II) complexes with 1-allylimidazole or their chlorides’ diffusion through eukaryotic cell monolayers. The amount (mol) of nickel(II) and cobalt(II) chlorides transported through the monolayer was greater than that of metals complexed with 1-allylimidazole by 4.34-fold and 1.45-fold, respectively, after 60 min. Thus, laser interferometry can be used for the quantitative analysis of the transport of compounds through eukaryotic cell monolayers, and the resulting parameters can be used to formulate a mathematical description of this process.

Biomimetic microenvironments are key components to successful cell culture and tissue engineering in vitro. One of the most accurate biomimetic microenvironments is that made by the cells themselves. Cell-made microenvironments are most similar to the in vivo state as they are cell-specific and produced by the actual cells which reside in that specific microenvironment. However, cell-made microenvironments have been challenging to re-create in vitro due to the lack of extracellular matrix composition, volume and complexity which are required. By applying macromolecular crowding to current cell culture protocols, cell-made microenvironments, or cell-derived matrices, can be generated at significant rates in vitro. In this review, we will examine the causes and effects of macromolecular crowding and how it has been applied in several in vitro systems including tissue engineering.
