What is the MTT assay?
The MTT assay is a colorimetric assay used to evaluate cell viability based on the reduction of MTT to formazan.
Why are MCF-7 cells used in this study?
MCF-7 cells are a widely used breast cancer cell line that provides a relevant model for cancer research.
What does a positive result in the MTT assay indicate?
A positive result indicates that the cells are viable and metabolically active, as they can reduce MTT to formazan.
How does nanogenomedicine affect cell viability?
Nanogenomedicine can alter cell viability by targeting specific cellular pathways, which may lead to cell death or survival.
What are the advantages of using the MTT assay?
The MTT assay is easy to perform, reproducible, and provides quantitative results regarding cell viability.
