Here, we describe a protocol to establish a systematic and comprehensive co-fermentation system to produce biotransformation products rich in pungent saponins by using Marsdenia tenacissima (Roxb.) Wight et Arn. (MT) as a fermentation medium for Ganoderma lucidum. This will serve as a methodological reference for the development of other ethnic drugs.

Co-Fermentation of Marsdenia tenacissima with Ganoderma lucidum and Anti-Lung Cancer Effect of the Fermentation Products

Marsdenia tenacissima (Roxb.) Wight et Arn. (MT), as a traditional Chinese and Dai herbal medicine, has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antitumor ...

Here, we present a protocol for immunofluorescence staining to observe the endothelial cells of the mouse aorta directly. This technique is useful when studying the cellular and molecular phenotype of endothelial cells in different flow patterns and in the development of atherosclerosis.

Using En Face Immunofluorescence Staining to Observe Vascular Endothelial Cells Directly

Aberrant changes in endothelial phenotype and morphology are considered to be initial events in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Direct observation of ...

Evaluated in syngeneic immunocompetent hosts, cancer stem cell (CSC) based dendritic cell (DC) vaccine demonstrated significantly higher antitumor immunity than traditional DC vaccines pulsed with heterogeneous bulk tumor cells.

Generation of a Novel Dendritic-cell Vaccine Using Melanoma and Squamous Cancer Stem Cells

We identified cancer stem cell (CSC)-enriched populations from murine melanoma D5 syngeneic to C57BL/6 mice and the squamous cancer SCC7 syngeneic to C3H ...
