Bir Doku Dissosiyatör Kullanarak Stromal Vasküler Fraksiyonun Murin Beyaz Yağ Dokusundan Yarı Otomatik İzolasyonu

Overview

This study focuses on the semi-automated isolation of the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from murine adipose tissue, with the aim of obtaining preadipocytes and promoting adipocyte differentiation in vitro. A novel protocol utilizing a tissue dissociator for collagenase digestion is presented, which enhances reproducibility and reduces experimental variation.
