Improved islet yield and function by use of a chloride channel blocker during collagenase digestion.
Abstract
We examined the effects of the chloride channel blocker, 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid disodium salt (DIDS) and extracellular Cl(-)-free conditions on islet isolation outcomes.
Experimental groups were created based on the collagenase solutions used for Wistar ra...

Abstract
Organ shortage has prompted many transplant centers to extend their criteria for organ acceptance including the history of a variety of co-morbidities in donors. The use of organs from donors with a past medical history of malignancy in order to reduce the waiting list mortalities remains a dilemma....

Abstract
Expedited healing of skin wounds is essential regardless of surgical specialty. Any skin deficiency will thwart this basic intent, and an alternative must be sought. The autogenous skin graft or local flap has long had a major role in satisfying this objective. Various forms of autogenous skin graft...

Abstract
These results suggest that cells from different tissues have different potentials for differentiation. Furthermore, cells derived from rabbits with craniosynostosis were different from cells from wild-type rabbits. Interestingly, cells derived from the craniosynostotic rabbits were not uniformly mor...

Abstract
Second toe-to-thumb transfer is a good alternative to using the great toe for reconstruction of the thumb. It achieves excellent function and reduces morbidity to the donor foot. However, cosmesis is often poor. The second toe has three unattractive features, a narrow "neck," a bulbous tip, and a sh...
