HUVECs have been used in the cultivation of cardiovascular grafts to study fibrinolytic parameters. The versatility of<br />

HUVECs is evident in their application in various fields such as medicine, biology, and endothelial dysfunction research.<br />

HUVECs have also been employed in the investigation of signaling pathways, including the lactate/NFkB/IL-8 pathway,<br />

which plays a crucial role in tumor metabolism and angiogenesis. HUVECs have been utilized to study the interaction<br />

between TRPV4 and KCa2.3 in the context of hypertension treatment.<br />

The significance of HUVECs in research is further emphasized by their use in the study of autophagy, apoptosis, and<br />

oxidative stress, as well as their role in modeling atherosclerosis and investigating protective mechanisms against injury.<br />

GFP-tagged with liposomes and viruses HUVECs offer real-time visualization of subcellular structures, facilitating studies<br />

on cellular dynamics and interactions. Conditionally immortalized umbilical cord MSCs are valuable for regenerative<br />

medicine research, exploring their potential in tissue engineering and cell-based therapies.<br />

Breast<br />

We isolate epithelial cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, breast cancer cells from tumors, as well as patient-derived<br />

xenograft (PDX) cells, and breast cancer-associated fibroblasts from breast tissue. These samples are sourced from<br />

various species. The use of epithelial cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, breast cancer cells from tumors, patient-derived<br />

xenograft (PDX) cells, and breast cancer-associated fibroblasts from breast tissue are diverse and significant in various<br />

research and clinical applications. Epithelial cells have been utilized in the separation of breast cancer cells from peripherally<br />

circulating blood, particularly through the use of antibodies fixed in microchannels, which enables the isolation of breast<br />

cancer cells at an early stage of tumor growth and metastasis.<br />

Fibroblasts have been employed in regenerative medicine due to their potential to provide appropriate cross-talk and<br />

extracellular matrix (ECM) production to maintain tissue homeostasis and enable repair. Additionally, fibroblasts have<br />

been used in the treatment of skin disorders, such as recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, and have been applied<br />

as a biological dressing in wound beds. Furthermore, fibroblasts have been studied for their paracrine anti-fibrotic effects<br />

on young and senescent human dermal fibroblasts, indicating their potential in wound repair and regeneration.<br />

Breast cancer cells from tumors have been utilized in various studies, including the investigation of cancer-associated<br />

fibroblasts (CAFs) inducing epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) of breast cancer cells through paracrine TGF-β<br />

signaling, and the promotion of breast cancer cell malignancy via CXCL5 secretion in the tumor microenvironment.<br />

Additionally, patient-derived tumor cells, combined with three-dimensional culture technology, have been used to form<br />

breast cancer organoids that resemble the in vivo tumor structure. Furthermore, patient-derived xenograft (PDX) cells<br />

have been employed in studying the progression of breast cancer through the regulation of epithelial and stromal cell<br />

signaling in the TGF-β pathway. Breast cancer-associated fibroblasts from breast tissue have been studied for their role in<br />

promoting breast tumorigenesis through the secretion of hepatocyte growth factor and the expansion of cancer-stem like<br />

cells. Additionally, engineered human breast tissue models have been used to show that ATR-deficient breast stromal<br />

fibroblasts enhance the growth of breast cancer cells.<br />

Ovaries<br />

We isolate epithelial cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and ovarian cancer cells from tumors, in<br />

addition to patient-derived xenograft (PDX) cells and ovarian cancer-associated fibroblasts from ovarian tissue. These<br />

samples are sourced from various species. Epithelial cells are crucial for studying tissue development and differentiation,<br />

while fibroblasts play a pivotal role in extracellular matrix synthesis and tissue remodeling. Endothelial cells contribute to<br />

angiogenesis and vascular biology, and smooth muscle cells are integral in understanding vascular and muscular<br />

physiology. Isolating ovarian cancer cells from tumors facilitates studies on cancer progression and potential therapeutic<br />

targets. PDX cells, derived from patient tumors and engrafted into immunocompromised mice, serve as powerful models<br />

for preclinical drug testing, allowing researchers to assess treatment efficacy and tumor response in a more clinically<br />

relevant context. Ovarian cancer-associated fibroblasts derived from ovarian tissues contribute to the understanding of<br />

tumor microenvironment interactions.<br />

Testes and prostate<br />

We extract epithelial cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and prostate cancer cells from tumors, in<br />

addition to patient-derived xenograft (PDX) cells and prostate cancer-associated fibroblasts from prostate tissue. These<br />

samples are sourced from various species. Additionally, total RNA from the prostate and testes is also available. Epithelial<br />

cells are vital for studying tissue structure and function, often applied in investigations related to epithelial biology, wound<br />

healing, and drug response.<br />

Fibroblasts have been employed in the regulation of biomechanical properties of human microvascular endothelial cells,<br />

indicating their significance in cancer cell interactions and the tumor microenvironment. Fibroblasts have been studied for<br />

their potential role in the regulation of the immune and epithelial barrier responses in the prostate. Endothelial cells play<br />
