Furthermore, the establishment of living biobanks comprising patient-derived xenografts, primary tumor tissue, normal
tissue, sera, and cancer cell lines has facilitated the study of tumor characteristics and mechanisms of atherosclerosis. The
expression of PDX-1, a key regulator of beta cell maturation and differentiation, has been investigated in pancreatic
cancer, shedding light on its significance in the disease. Moreover, the potential of stem cells in the treatment of skeletal
muscle injury and disease has been explored, highlighting the therapeutic implications of multipotent stem cells derived
from adult bone marrow, fat, skin, periosteum, and muscle. These studies collectively demonstrate the wide-ranging
applications of these cell types in advancing our understanding of various diseases and in the development of novel
therapeutic strategies.
Kidney
We offer a range of fibroblasts, endothelial cells, epithelial
cells, mesangial cells, and podocytes from various regions of
the kidney, sourced from different species. Fibroblasts play a
crucial role in renal fibrosis, and their origin in renal fibrosis has
been a subject of controversy, highlighting the importance of
understanding their role in kidney pathology. Endothelial cells
have been studied for their involvement in angiogenesis and
their response to various factors in the context of kidney
diseases, providing insights into their role in kidney function and
pathology. Epithelial cells have been investigated for their
protective role against oxidative cell injury, shedding light on
their significance in acute kidney injury and chronic kidney
diseases.
Mesangial cells have been shown to participate in immune function in the kidney and have been studied for their role in
maintaining the structure and function of the glomerulus and in the pathogenesis of glomerular diseases. Podocytes have
been studied for their involvement in renal fibrosis and their response to growth factors, providing insights into their role
in kidney fibrosis and compensatory hypertrophy. The study of bone marrow-derived cells carrying a polycystic kidney
disease mutation in the genetically normal kidney has provided valuable insights into the fate of these cells in the kidney,
particularly following renal injury, contributing to our understanding of kidney regeneration and disease progression.
Additionally, the expression of a novel mesangium-predominant gene, Megsin, in the renal tissues of various glomerular
diseases has been investigated, shedding light on its potential role in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases. Moreover, the
use of laser ablation of the zebrafish pronephros to study renal epithelial regeneration has provided a novel tool for the
study of epithelial injury in zebrafish, offering insights into kidney regeneration and repair. These studies collectively
contribute to a comprehensive understanding of kidney biology and pathology, providing a basis for the development of
novel therapeutic strategies for kidney diseases.
Intestine
Smooth muscle cells have been investigated for their
involvement in intestinal motility, peristalsis, and the
pathogenesis of intestinal fibrosis. Studies have shown that
smooth muscle cells play a crucial role in the regulation of
intestinal motility and peristalsis, and their phenotypic
plasticity has been implicated in mechanical obstruction of the
small intestine. Smooth muscle cells have been used in tissue
engineering for intestinal reconstruction, exhibiting
spontaneous rhythmic contraction in vitro and showing
potential for functional smooth muscle bioengineering.
Fibroblasts have been studied for their involvement in
intestinal fibrosis, inflammation, and the regulation of
intestinal epithelial cells. Studies have shown that fibroblasts
play a role in the pathogenesis of intestinal strictures in Crohn's
disease and have been implicated in the secretion of inflammatory mediators from LPS-induced rat intestinal microvascular
endothelial cells. Additionally, fibroblasts have been shown to modulate colonocytes in co-culture and contribute to the
development of intestinal fibrosis. Endothelial cells have been extensively studied for their involvement in intestinal
microvascular development, angiogenesis, and the regulation of intestinal fibrosis. Studies have shown that endothelial
cells express Toll-like receptor 5 and are involved in the secretion of inflammatory mediators from LPS-induced rat
intestinal microvascular endothelial cells.
