In search of an efficient injection technique for future clinical application of spermatogonial stem cell transplantation: infusion of contrast dyes in isolated cadaveric human testes Vrije Universiteit Brussel
To develop an efficient infusion technique for human spermatogonial stem cell transplantation.
DESIGN:
A mixture with ultrasonic contrast, computerized tomography (CT) contrast, and Chinese ink was injected into isolated human testes through different sites (the rete testis, the head of the epididymis, the deferent duct, and blind testicular infusion). Ultrasound transducer was used to visualize the ...

Improving Endothelial Explant Tissue Culture by Novel Thermoresponsive Cell Culture System Vrije Universiteit Brussel University of Antwerp
Aim: Studying cell migration of corneal endothelial cells in vitro is challenging because the capacity for cell migration needs to be maintained while at the same time the tissue must remain fixed on a rigid substrate. In this study, we report a thermoresponsive culture technique designed to maintain cellular viability, and to reduce tissue handling in order to analyze in vitro endothelial cell migration from corneal grafts. Materials and ...
Combination of group I mGlu receptors antagonist with dopaminergic agonists strengthens the synaptic transmission at corticostriatal synapses in culture Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Restoring synaptic plasticity in neurodegenerative diseases could prevent neuronal degeneration, as well as motor and cognitive disorders. In Parkinson's disease, synaptic plasticity at corticostriatal synapses is altered. Dendrites of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs) receive dopaminergic inputs from the substantia nigra and glutamatergic cortical afferents. Because both glutamate and dopamine are required to induce and sustain MSNs ...
