Amphibian organ culture.
TL;DR: Les auteurs passent en revue les problèmes étudiés and the méthodes utilisées jusqu'à ce jour pour la préparation des tissus des amphibiens en culture organotypiques and envisagent en outre les possibilités qui s'offrent aux recherches futures.
39
The relationship between cell sizes, respiration rates and survival of amphibian tissues in long-term organ cultures
TL;DR: The success of long-term organ cultures of amphibian tissues may be due to their low respiration rates and large cell sizes.
38
The long-term organ culture of tissues from adult Amphiuma, the Congo eel.
TL;DR: Organ cultures from Amphiuma means, the Congo eel, were maintained in organ culture for up to 35 days in a modified Leibovitz L 15 medium, and while there were no significant increases in liver, spleen and lung fragments in vitro, there were large increases in kidney and pancreas fragments.
17
Hormonal control of glucose production by Amphiuma means liver in organ culture.
TL;DR: It is concluded that cultured A. means liver responds to glucagon, insulin, and adrenalin in ways that are compatible with the known effects of these hormones in mammals.
15
Cell proliferation in vivo and in vitro in visceral organs of the adult newt, Triturus cristatus carnifex.
TL;DR: In culture, intestine mitotic and labelling incidences fell significantly within the first four hours, and maintained these low levels for the next five days, and no such relationship could be shown for liver, spleen or pancreas.
