An organ culture system to model early degenerative changes of the intervertebral disc
INTRODUCTION Back pain, a significant source of morbidity in our society, is related to the degenerative changes of the intervertebral disc. At present, the treatment of disc disease consists of therapies that are aimed at symptomatic relief. This shortcoming stems in large part from our lack of understanding of the biochemical and molecular events that drive the disease process. The goal of th...
متن کاملORGAN FUNCTION Organ function is assessed by measuring how
Organ function is assessed by measuring how well an organ is doing what it is supposed to be doing. For example, the pump function of the heart is studied by measuring the cardiac output and the blood pressure; the cognitive function of the brain is investigated using intelligence tests. The functional status of synthetic organs, organs of cell generation (such as the marrow), organs of elimina...
متن کاملAn organ culture system to model early degenerative changes of the intervertebral disc II: profiling global gene expression changes
INTRODUCTION Despite many advances in our understanding of the molecular basis of disc degeneration, there remains a paucity of preclinical models which can be used to study the biochemical and molecular events that drive disc degeneration, and the effects of potential therapeutic interventions. The goal of this study is to characterize global gene expression changes in a disc organ culture sys...
متن کاملAdministration of sodium hydrosulfide reduces remote organ injury by an anti-oxidant mechanism in a rat model of varicocele
Objective(s): Infertility in varicocele may have an adverse outcome on the future life of an infertile male. This study was designed to investigate whether varicocele affects remote organs, including the kidney, liver, and brain. We have also evaluated the protective effects of NaHS administration on the structure and function of these organs.Material...
متن کاملRetroviral transduction in fetal thymic organ culture.
T-cell development requires cytokines and intimate contact with stromal cells provided exclusively by the thymus. Consequently, an in vitro model of thymocyte differentiation, fetal thymic organ culture (FTOC), has been developed. FTOC recapitulates the normal development of T-cells derived from both mouse and human progenitor populations, providing a more rapid means to study T-cell developmen...
