Comparison of Airway Responses in Sheep of Different Age in Precision-Cut Lung Slices (PCLS)
BACKGROUND Animal models should display important characteristics of the human disease. Sheep have been considered particularly useful to study allergic airway responses to common natural antigens causing human asthma. A rationale of this study was to establish a model of ovine precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) for the in vitro measurement of airway responses in newborn and adult animals. We hyp...
متن کاملPrecision cut tissue slices of the liver as morphological tool for investigation of apoptosis.
BACKGROUND Apoptosis, programmed cell death, is involved in a broad range of pathological processes. Dysregulation of apoptosis plays a key role in the pathogenesis of hepatitis, toxic liver disease and also liver tumor development. For the study of apoptosis in liver diseases, different in vivo models and different in vitro approaches have been developed. They include cell culture models based...
متن کاملLiver fibrosis in vitro: cell culture models and precision-cut liver slices.
Chronic liver injury of various etiologies can cause liver fibrosis, which is characterized by the progressive accumulation of connective tissue in the liver. As no effective treatment for liver fibrosis is available yet, extensive research is ongoing to further study the mechanisms underlying the development of disease- or toxicity-induced liver fibrosis and to identify potential pro- or anti-...
متن کاملMurine Precision-Cut Kidney Slices as an ex vivo Model to Evaluate the Role of Transforming Growth Factor-β1 Signaling in the Onset of Renal Fibrosis
Renal fibrosis is characterized by progressive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, resulting in loss of organ function and eventually requiring renal replacement therapy. Unfortunately, no efficacious treatment options are available to halt renal fibrosis and translational models to test pharmacological agents are not always representative. Here, we evaluated murine precision-c...
متن کاملHuman precision-cut liver tumor slices as a tumor patient-individual predictive test system for oncolytic measles vaccine viruses.
Availability of an individualized preselection of oncolytic viruses to be used for virotherapy of tumor patients would be of great help. Using primary liver tumor resection specimens we evaluated the precision-cut liver slice (PCLS) technology as a novel in vitro test system for characterization of paramount tumor infection parameters of individual patients. PCLS slices from resection specimens...
