A novel physiological culture system that mimics luteal angiogenesis.
Luteal inadequacy is a major cause of poor embryo development and infertility. Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is an essential process underpinning corpus luteum (CL) development and progesterone production. Thus, understanding the factors that regulate angiogenesis during this critical time is essential for the development of novel strategies to alleviate luteal inadequacy an...
متن کاملA novel three-dimensional culture system allows prolonged culture of functional human granulosa cells and mimics the ovarian environment.
The development of techniques allowing the growth of primordial follicles to mature follicles in vitro has much potential for both reproductive medicine and developmental research. However, human primordial and preantral follicles fail to grow after isolation from the surrounding ovarian stroma. Granulosa cells, which normally undergo apoptosis after ovulation, contain a subpopulation of ovaria...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Novel, Anti-idiotypic Monoclonal Anti-prolactin Antibody That Mimics the Physiological Functions of Prolactin.
In this work, we prepared a panel of monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies to ovine prolactin (oPRL) by the hybridoma technique. Among these antibodies, one anti-idotypic antibody (designated B7) was chosen for further characterization by a series of experiments. We first demonstrated that B7 behaved as a typical Ab2β based on a series of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Subsequently, the res...
متن کاملModeling human tumor angiogenesis in a three-dimensional culture system.
The intrinsic complexity of the process of vessel formation limits the efficacy of cellular assays for elucidation of its molecular and pharmacologic mechanisms. We developed an ex vivo three-dimensional (3D) assay of sprouting angiogenesis with arterial explants from human umbilical cords. In this assay, human arterial rings were embedded in basement membrane extract gel, leading to a network ...
متن کاملA physiological sign that mimics lung point in critical care ultrasonography
Figure 1 Real-time mode ultrasonography and computed tomography. (a) Real-time mode showed intermittent eradication of cardiac pulse (CP) by the moving lung with respiration cycle. (b) Subsequent computed tomography ruled out pneumothorax. Ultrasound has been widely used in the critical care setting for timely and accurate diagnosis of life-threatening conditions. Pneumothorax is one such condi...
