Description
The pancreas is an elongated, tapered organ located across the back of the belly, behind the stomach. It plays a crucial role in digestion by producing enzymes that help to break down the food. Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) are a multifunctional cell type found in endocrine and exocrine pancreatic tissue and comprising about 7% of parenchymal cells in the pancreas PSCs play a central role in pancreatic fibrosis.
Rat Pancreatic Stellate Cells (rPSCs) from Creative Bioarray are isolated from the rat pancreatic tissue. The method we use to isolate rPSCs was developed based on a combination of established and our proprietary methods. The rPSCs are characterized by immunofluorescence with antibodies specific to desmin or α-SMA. Each vial contains 0.5x10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.
