Spleen may be source of versatile stem cells
A year ago, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers discovered that the spleen might be a source of adult stem cells that could regenerate the insulin-producing islets of thepancreas. In a follow-up to that unexpected finding, members of thesame team now report that these potential adult stem cells produce aprotein previously believed to be present only during the embryonicdevelopmen...Infused spleen cells found not to impact islet recovery and reversal of type 1 diabetes in mice
Researchers at the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine at Johns Hopkins have invented a cost-effective and highly efficient way of analyzing what many have termed "junk" DNA and identified regions critical for controlling gene function. And they have found that these control regions from different species don't have to look alike to work alike. The study will be published online...Rapid-Screen Arrayed cDNA Library Panels Master Plates -Human Spleen from OriGene Technologies
Description:The Rapid-Screen cDNA Library Panels were designed for full-length gene cloning and require just three sets of PCRs to identify the desired cDNA clone. The first PCR analysis is performed in a 96-well "Master Plate," where each well contains plasmid DNA from 5,000 clones. Having identified the positive well(s) by gel electrophoresis of the reaction products, the second PCR analysis is carried out...Interspecies Trial Array 3: N Pancreas, N Skin, N Spleen, N Ovary from CHEMICON
Description:Chemicon Select Tissue Arrays are intended for laboratory research use only. The individual tissues were fixed in neutral buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin. Tissue identification and diagnosis was performed by certified pathologists. Tissue cores were removed from their paraffin blocks and relocated into a new recipient paraffin block, in an array pattern, using Chemicons Advanced Tis...Pokeweed Mitogen Spleen Cell Conditioned Medium, 25 mL from StemCell Technologies, Inc.
Description:Source of colony stimulating factors for assays of mouse hematopoietic progenitors from bone marrow, spleen, blood and fetal liver. Suitable for the growth of mouse BFU-E, CFU-M, CFU-G and CFU-GEMM when added to methylcellulose at a final concentration of 2-5%, with addition of erythropoietin. Will also support growth of mouse IL-3 dependent cell lines at a final concentration of 2-5%....Using Contrast Enhanced Sonography Improves Diagnosis of Liver and Spleen Injuries
Contrast-enhanced sonography shows liver and spleen injuries better than non-contrast enhanced sonography, according to a study conducted // at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine department of radiology in Sacramento, CA. This study included 22 liver, spleen or renal injuries. Contrast-enhanced sonography depicted 20 (91%) of the 22 injuries while non-contrast-enha...
