The Cell Biology Core project at the University of Chicago supports diabetes research by providing cell-based systems, improving experimental methods, and promoting collaboration among investigators. It focuses on pancreatic islets, beta cells, adipocytes, hepatocytes, and immune cells from humans, mice, and zebrafish.
Description
Cell Biology has been a component of the DRTC since 1977, focusing on pancreatic islets, beta cells, adipocytes, hepatocytes, and immune cells. It provides services to elucidate their roles in health and disease, using primary cells from humans and mice, and models in zebrafish. The Core offers study design advice, hands-on support, and training, fostering collaboration and advancing diabetes research.
