In this publication, we describe a rapid and convenient procedure for isolating and culturing primary pancreatic acinar cells from the murine pancreas. This method constitutes a valuable approach to study the physiology of fresh primary normal/untransformed exocrine pancreatic cells.

Here, we present an ablate-and-resect prospective study to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and accuracy of intraoperative high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation in patients undergoing hepatectomy for liver metastases.

Here, we describe an easy-to-implement, standardized, microphysiological system that reflects the complexity of the human bone marrow's in vivo structure, providing a pertinent model to finely study a broad range of normal and pathological events.
