Genetically Engineered Pigs as Efficient Salivary Gland Bioreactors for Production of Therapeutically Valuable Human Nerve Growth Factor

Cells, 2022
Farm animal salivary glands hold great potential as efficient bioreactors for production of human therapeutic proteins. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is naturally expressed in animal salivary glands and has been approved for human clinical treatment.

Differential gene expression and clonal selection during cellular transformation induced by adhesion deprivation

BMC Cell Biology, 2010
Background Anchorage independent growth is an important hallmark of oncogenic transformation. Previous studies have shown that when adhesion dependent fibroblasts were prevented from adhering to a substrate they underwent anoikis. In the present study we

Rat epididymal epithelial cells and 17beta-estradiol synthesis under hCG stimulation in vitro.

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2007
Epithelial cells of human and animal epididymis display features of steroidogenic cells. Rat epididymal epithelial cells in vitro produce androgens which are converted to 17beta-estradiol, and released into the medium.
