Isolating human dermal fibroblasts using serial explant culture. [PDF]
Background The purpose of this study was to introduce an applicable culture technique to isolate human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs); which could also contribute to research, clinical practices, as well as tissue engineering. Methods Samples from the human

Tyrosine Phosphorylation of p27Kip1 Correlates with Palbociclib Responsiveness in Breast Cancer Tumor Cells Grown in Explant Culture. [PDF]
Cdk4-targeting drugs, such as palbociclib, are approved for metastatic ER/PR+, Her2− breast cancer. However, other than loss of retinoblastoma, which is very rare in this subset, there are no biomarkers to predict response.

FluoroGold-Labeled Organotypic Retinal Explant Culture for Neurotoxicity Screening Studies. [PDF]
Preclinical toxicity screening of the new retinal compounds is an absolute requirement in the pathway of further drug development. Since retinal neuron cultivation and in vivo studies are relatively expensive and time consuming, we aimed to create a fast

Nucleus pulposus explant culture model [PDF]
AbstractMany of the therapeutic interventions for intervertebral disc degeneration attempt to repopulate the nucleus pulposus (NP) tissue; however, NP cells are heterogeneous and not well characterized. To address this, we have investigated the morphology, extracellular gene and protein expression, and apoptosis changes in NP explants cultured in vitro

Explant Culture of the Embryonic Mouse Spinal Cord and Gene Transfer by ex vivo Electroporation [PDF]
Developing axons change responsiveness to guidance cues during the journey to synapse with target cells. Axon crossing at the ventral midline serves as a model for studying how axons accomplish such a switch in their response.

Cellular senescence is a phenotypic state that contributes to age‐related diseases through the secretion of matrix‐degrading and inflammatory molecules. An emerging therapeutic strategy for osteoarthritis (OA) is to selectively eliminate senescent cells ...

Release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from muscle and bone causes tenocyte death in a novel rotator cuff in vitro explant culture model. [PDF]
Purpose: Tendinopathy is a significant clinical problem thought to be associated with altered mechanical loading. Explant culture models allow researchers to alter mechanical loading in a controlled in vitro environment while maintaining tenocytes in ...

A bovine nucleus pulposus explant culture model. [PDF]
AbstractLow back pain is a global health problem that is frequently caused by intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAGs) give the healthy nucleus pulposus (NP) a high fixed charge density (FCD), which creates an osmotic pressure that enables the disc to withstand high compressive forces.

Organotypic brain explant culture as a drug evaluation system for malignant brain tumors. [PDF]
Therapeutic options for malignant brain tumors are limited, with new drugs being continuously evaluated. Organotypic brain slice culture has been adopted for neuroscience studies as a system that preserves brain architecture, cellular function, and the ...
