Is it possible to subject normal human cells to an experimental starvation?
Yes, it is possible to perform an experimental starvation phase with ScienCll’s normal human cells. Cells can be kept for some time in basal medium without supplements, but the cells must be in a good condition. After this period, the experiment should be terminated because prolonged periods lead to cell death. It is advisable to test prior to the experiment how long cells will survive a starvation period; this duration will depend on many factors.
