Figure Lengend Snippet: PT-PLATMC@PDA scaffold supports the survival, proliferation and spreading of cholangiocytes to form a monolayer. Cell viability (A) and density (B) of cholangiocytes seeded on PT-PLATMC@PDA films in culture for 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days (n = 3). Fluorescence microscope images of mouse liver derived cholangiocyte organoid seeded on the PT-PLATMC@PDA film in culture for 7 days (C), 14 days (D), 21 days (E) and 35 days (F) stained with DAPI, ZO-1, and CK19. DAPI and ECAD staining of the 21-day cultured mouse cholangiocytes (G) and 37-day cultured human cholangiocytes (H) seeded SMP PT-PLATMC@PDA planar films.

Article Snippet: The samples were washed with PBS, mounted with 100 μl of anti-fade mounting medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories Inc, USA), and analyzed under a confocal laser scanning microscope (Zeiss LSM880 with Ariyscan, Germany).

Article Title: Sex-specific differences in endocannabinoid regulation of cocaine-evoked dopamine in the medial nucleus accumbens shell

doi: 10.64898/2026.03.27.714857

Figure Lengend Snippet: Experimental design for in vivo fiber photometry recordings with pharmacological testing. (A) Viral approach and implantation targeting for the NAc ms . (B) Representative histology of viral expression and fiber optic cannula targeting. DAPI signal is blue and dLight 1.3b is green. (C) dLight 1.3b expression in the NAc ms . Viral expression is prominent around the fiber optic cannula tip, which is situated in the more dorsal aspect of the NAc ms . (D) Fiber optic cannula tip placement for all rats included in the study (anterior/posterior distance from bregma ) (E) Visual representation of behavioral design for fiber photometry experiments. Rats can be pretreated with endocannabinoid-modulating drugs or their corresponding vehicle and tested for photometry signal changes after an experimenter-delivered intravenous infusion of cocaine or saline. (F) Overview of experimental testing regimen. Rats generally completed two or more experimental schedules. For pharmacological testing, vehicle pretreatment always preceded Rimonabant or MJN-110 pretreatment, and the cocaine dose remained consistent for each test day. For cocaine dose response testing, rats received escalating doses of cocaine, starting with a saline control.

Article Snippet: The next day, slices were washed with PBS at room temperature and then mounted on microscope slides and coverslipped with Vectashield anti-fade mounting medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories, Plain City, OH).
