Izolacja komórek glejowych jelitowych z błony podśluzowej i blaszki właściwej dorosłej myszy

Overview

This article describes a rapid, non-enzymatic method for isolating enteric-glial cells from the intestinal submucosa. The technique utilizes sequential EDTA incubations to chelate divalent cations, followed by incubation in a non-enzymatic cell recovery solution, resulting in a highly enriched culture for functional analysis.
