Submucosal Layer Exposure

Submucosal layer exposure is the deliberate visualization and access of the tissue plane beneath a mucosal lining, a key step in many gastrointestinal endoscopic and surgical procedures. Clinicians typically separate or open the mucosa to reveal the submucosa, using controlled dissection and, when appropriate, fluid injection to lift the target layer and improve tissue-plane distinction. This exposure can support lesion assessment, biopsy, local excision, and endoscopic submucosal dissection while helping define the boundary between mucosa, submucosa, and deeper muscle. Accurate identification of this layer improves procedural control and may contribute to more complete treatment with less disruption of surrounding tissue.

Here we demonstrate our protocol for isolation of basal and submucosal gland duct cells from mouse tracheas. We also demonstrate the method of injecting stem cells into the dorsal mouse fat pad to create an in vivo model of submucosal gland regeneration.

Layer-by-layer Collagen Deposition in Microfluidic Devices for Microtissue Stabilization

2015

The creation of functional microtissues within microfluidic devices requires the stabilization of cell phenotypes by adapting traditional cell culture techniques to the limited spatial dimensions in microdevices. Modification of collagen allows the layer-by-layer deposition of ultrathin collagen assemblies that can stabilize primary cells, such as hepatocytes, as microfluidic tissue models.

Chromatography Chromatography is a technique used in organic chemistry to separate compounds in a mixture based on their differences in solubility between two different phases. The concept is similar to liquid-liquid extraction, except in chromatography, the two phases consist of the stationary phase and the mobile phase. The stationary phase is a solid — typically a microscale hydrogel bead — while the mobile phase is a carrier solvent. In traditional chromatography, the stationary phase is...
