DIE-RNA: A Reproducible Strategy for the Digestion of Normal and Injured Pancreas, Isolation of Pancreatic Cells from Genetically Engineered Mouse Models and Extraction of High Quality RNA

The isolation of ribonucleic acid (RNA) suitable for gene expression studies is challenging in the pancreas, due to its high ribonuclease activity. This is even more complicated during pancreatitis, a condition associated with inflammation and fibrosis. Our aim was to implement a time-effective and...
