Cell Biology & Image Analysis, DRTC - Johns Hopkins University/University of Maryland

DRTC Baltimore Cell Biology Core :

The Cell Biology Core will serve as a resource for basic and clinical investigators to study the cellular and molecular pathogenesis of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus as related to changes in the endocrine pancreas, adipose, hepatic, and skeletal muscle tissue.

 

Cell Biology Core objectives:

 

• Maintain stocks of cultured pancreatic endocrine islet, adipocyte, muscle and hepatocyte cell lines and advice and training in their utility for diabetes research
• Provide users with training in preparation of primary islet, adipocytes, muscle and hepatocytes from human subjects and experimental models of diabetes and their use for analysis of insulin secretion, action and metabolism
• Provide access to and training in histological immuno-histochemical and microscopic methods for analysis of primary cells and cell lines relevant to diabetes research
