In the skillslab, dummy models and simulators are used for teaching various clinical skills. The veterinarians in training need to learn how to administer intravenous fluids and medication by the use of infusion systems. An important part of this training process can be performed on dummy models and

We aim to differentiate ovarian cells isolated from postmenopausal ovaries into steroidogenic theca interna cells. For this purpose, cryopreserved ovarian cortex fragments are used to isolate ovarian cells. These cells are cultured on collagen and supplemented with growth factors defined to promote
