Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The rat proximal tubular epithelial cells (NRK-52E) and the renal interstitial fibroblast cells (NRK-49F) were planted on a petri dish and cultured at 37°C, 5% CO2 environment. The culture medium was DMEM/F12 (12400–024), containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; 16000-044) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (15140–122) (all from Life Technologies; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). When cells grew to 80% confluency, the culture medium was replaced with serum-free medium for 16 h. After 16 h, the serum-free medium was replaced again, and TGFβ1 (240B; R&D Systems, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) was added to stimulate the cells. Cells and supernatants were collected at different times. The control group was collected in the same way.

We obtained pancreatic tissues from non-diabetic patients who underwent pancreatic surgery for tumors [14 (link)]. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Seoul National University Hospital (IRB No. 0901-010-267 and 2110-151-1266). All eight participants (three men, five women) provided written informed consent. The mean±standard deviation of age was 54.5±16.0 years, body mass index 25.6±3.6 kg/m2, and glycosylated hemoglobin 5.7%±0.3% (Supplementary Table 1).
We isolated islets from 0.80 g (median range, 0.21 to 5.0) of pancreatic tissues that were grossly normal. In less than 1.5 hours stored in histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution, the tissues were chopped and digested with collagenase NB and neutral protease (SERVA Electrophoresis GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany). Subsequently islets were separated using Ficoll gradients (P04-69600, Pan-biotech, Aidenbach, Germany). After washing the islets with Hanks’ balanced salt solution (HBSS; LB 003-02, WELGENE, Gyeongsan, Korea) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; 16000-044, ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA, USA), we hand-picked islets and incubated overnight before experiments, as described before [9 (link)]. The isolation yield was about 700 islets/g pancreas (Supplementary Table 1).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
