Many mouse models of neoplasia and pre-neoplasia require the examination of whole mounts of the gastrointestinal tract. A simple device has been produced to facilitate the rapid preparation of mouse intestines for subsequent quantification of tumours and pre-neoplastic lesions such as aberrant crypt foci. The device greatly speeds up the production of whole mounts and also provides far more consistent and better-quality preparations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
