Extracts of conidia of the td3 mutant strain of Neurospora crassa did not develop pseudo-tryptophan synthase enzyme activity under conditions leading to formation of the activity by equivalent extracts of the wild type strain. The defect in extracts of the td3 mutant appears to be located in the microsome fraction. The latter is unable to interact effectively with a component of the td3 mutant "post-microsome" fraction which will support in vitro development of the enzymic activity when supplemented with microsomes from other strains of N. crassa.

The development of sensory structures in organ cultures of the twelfth and thirteenth gestation day mouse otocysts has been quantified and the expected “in vitro” development may be predicted. The scoring system may be applied to the “in vitro” analysis of congenitally malformed ears in mutant strains of mice.

Pre-weaned porcine islets (PPIs) represent an unlimited source for islet transplantation but are functionally immature. We previously showed that necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) immediately after islet isolation enhanced the in vitro development of PPIs. Here, we examined the impact of Nec-1 on the in vivo function of PPIs after transplantation in diabetic mice. PPIs were isolated from pancreata of 8–15-day-old, pre-weaned pigs and cultured in media alone, or supplemented with Nec-1 (100 µM) on day 0 or on day 3 of culture (n = 5 for each group). On day 7, islet recovery, viability, oxygen consumption rate, insulin content, cellular composition, insulin secretion capacity, and transplant outcomes were evaluated. While islet viability and oxygen consumption rate remained high throughout 7-day tissue culture, Nec-1 supplementation on day 3 significantly improved islet recovery, insulin content, endocrine composition, GLUT2 expression, differentiation potential, proliferation capacity of endocrine cells, and insulin secretion. Adding Nec-1 on day 3 of tissue culture enhanced the islet recovery, proportion of delta cells, beta-cell differentiation and proliferation, and stimulation index. In vivo, this leads to shorter times to normoglycemia, better glycemic control, and higher circulating insulin. Our findings identify the novel time-dependent effects of Nec-1 supplementation on porcine islet quantity and quality prior to transplantation.
