CORE--MORPHOLOGY FACILITY

马萨诸塞大学医学中心的大量糖尿病相关研究人员依靠形态学技术来分析他们的实验模型。形态学核心设施通过提供这一领域的服务来满足研究人员的需求。该核心利用免疫荧光和免疫过氧化物酶技术提供常规组织学和组织和细胞抗原鉴定。核心主任和研究助理积极就实验设计与调查人员协商，并将培训个人在自己的实验室采用这些技术。核心主任为各个实验室提供解释性咨询。这一核心通过a)提供个别实验室无法提供的服务，b)允许研究人员专注于他们自己的项目，而不需要开发他们自己的组织学和免疫过氧化物酶，从而提高了糖尿病研究的生产率 3)鼓励共享这一核心设施资源的调查人员之间的互动。

A large number of diabetes-related research investigators at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center depend upon morphologic techniques to analyze their experimental models. The Morphology Core Facility satisfies the need of investigators by providing service in this area. The core provides routine histology and identification of tissue and cellular antigens utilizing immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase techniques. The Core Director and research associate actively consult with investigators on experimental design and will train individuals in adopting these techniques in their own laboratories. The Core Director provides interpretative consultation to individual laboratories. This core enhances the productivity of Diabetes research by a) providing services not available in individual laboratories, b) allowing investigators to focus on their own projects without the need to develop their own histology and immunoperoxidase functions and 3) by encouraging interactions between investigators who share the resources of this core facility.
