Insulin-producing organoids engineered from islet and amniotic epithelial cells to treat diabetes
Islet transplantation is a feasible approach to treat type I diabetes, however inflammation and poor vascularisation impair long-term engraftment. Here the authors show that incorporating human amniotic epithelial cells into islet organoids improves ...

Measures of viability in isolated cells [PDF]
Abstract Various methods were compared for estimation of cell viability. Cell count, uptake of trypan blue, release of cellular LDH, as well as cell contents of K+ and Na+ were determined in leukocytes, spleen cells, and Ehrlich cells exposed to adverse conditions. After incubation of these cells with NaF, the cell count remained essentially constant;

Isolation of Circulating Melanoma Cells [PDF]
Circulating melanoma cells (CMCs) represent critical mediators of metastatic melanoma progression. However, isolation and characterization of CMCs has been challenging due to the low frequency of these cells and the paucity of melanoma-specific cell surface markers.

Early revascularization of pancreatic islet cells after transplantation is crucial for engraftment, and it has been suggested that vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) plays a significant role in this process.

Isolation of Microvascular Endothelial Cells
The vascular endothelium is essential to normal vascular homeostasis. Its dysfunction participates in various cardiovascular disorders. Murine endothelial cell culture is an important tool for cardiovascular disease research. This protocol demonstrates a quick, efficient method for the isolation of microvascular endothelial cells from murine tissues ...

Isolation of circulating tumor cells
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) enter the vasculature from solid tumors and disseminate widely to initiate metastases. Mining the metastatic-enriched molecular signatures of CTCs before, during, and after treatment holds unique potential in personalized oncology.

Ex vivo labeling of islets with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles allows posttransplant MRI imaging of the graft. In the present study, we compare two clinical grade SPIOs (ferucarbotran and ferumoxide) in terms of toxicity, islet ...
