Tissue Processing and Isolation of Primary Fibroblasts from the Human Vagina

143 Views.  Massachusetts General Hospital. Research into disorders that primarily affect people of female gender is understudied and underfunded. Pelvic organ prolapse is the disorder strongly associated with female gender. It occurs when muscles and ligaments weaken and cause pelvic organs to drop lower in the pelvis, creating a bulge in the vagina.Little is known about cellular interactions in the context of this pathophysiology, nor how tissue level factors impact success of surgical interventions. Isolation of primary fibro...
