Abstract
Organoids are a type of three-dimensional cellular constructs comprising cells of various specializations (phenotypes). In contrast to simple cellular spheroids (aggregates), cells within organoids exhibit more complex differentiation and functional characteristics. This study describes a protocol for generating vascular organoids incorporating vascular endothelial cells. A step-by-step workflow is presented, detailing the necessary reagents and consumables. Additionally, a method for validating differentiation outcomes using immunofluorescence staining is described. Morphological differences are reported between organoids derived from stem cells of a healthy donor and those from patients with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
