Establishment of a Stable Organoid Culture System: Customization and Standardization
Prefix Organoids are miniature organs created in vitro from adult stem cells (ASCs) or pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). They form three-dimensional (3D) tissue-like structures through the self-organization, self-renewal, and differentiation capabilities of stem cells. Compared to traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures or spheroids, organoids closely resemble living organs in terms of ...

Intraoperative Identification and Monitoring of the Somatic Nerves Critical to Potency Preservation during da Vinci Prostatectomy
Background Since Walsh and Donker first introduced the anatomic nerve-sparing technique for retropubic radical prostatectomy1 (RRP) in the treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer, the importance of minimizing damage to the neurovascular bundle (NVB) has been recognized as a critical element for the preservation of potency and urinary continence post-prostatectomy. Although originally ...
