Magnet-assisted Flow Cytometry of in vivo Tumors to Quantitate Cell-specific Responses to Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

Authors: Preethi Korangath and Robert Ivkov, date: 11/20/2020, view: 392, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] A clear understanding of nanoparticle interactions with living systems at the cellular level is necessary for developing nanoparticle-based therapeutics. Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles provide unique opportunities to study these interactions because of their responsiveness to magnetic fields. This enables sorting of cells containing ...

Dissecting the Rat Mammary Gland: Isolation, Characterization, and Culture of Purified Mammary Epithelial Cells and Fibroblasts

[Abstract]

With the advent of CRISPR-Cas and the ability to easily modify the genome of diverse organisms, rat models are being increasingly developed to interrogate the genetic events underlying mammary development and tumorigenesis. Protocols for the isolation and characterization of mammary epithelial cell subpopulations have been thoroughly developed for

Advances in Proximity Ligation in situ Hybridization (PLISH)

Authors: Monica Nagendran, Adam M Andruska, Pehr B Harbury and Tushar J Desai, date: 11/05/2020, view: 683, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] Understanding tissues in the context of development, maintenance and disease requires determining the molecular profiles of individual cells within their native in vivo spatial context. We developed a Proximity Ligation in situ Hybridization technology (PLISH) that enables quantitative measurement of single cell gene expression ...

Real-time Three-dimensional Tracking of Endocytic Vesicles

Authors: Stephanie Duhamel and Kossay Zaoui, date: 10/20/2020, view: 533, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] Endocytic trafficking and recycling are fundamental cellular processes that control essential functions such as signaling protein complexes transport and membrane identity. The small GTPase Rabs are indispensable component of the endosomal recycling machinery. The Rabs bind to effectors to mediate their functions, such as protein sorting and ...

Quantification of Salivary Charged Metabolites Using Capillary Electrophoresis Time-of-flight-mass Spectrometry

Authors: Masahiro Sugimoto, Sana Ota, Miku Kaneko, Ayame Enomoto and Tomoyoshi Soga, date: 10/20/2020, view: 414, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] Salivary metabolomics have provided the potentials to detect both oral and systemic diseases. Capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (CE-TOFMS) enables the identification and quantification of various charged metabolites. This method has been employed to biomarker discoveries using human saliva samples, especially for various ...

A Novel and Robust Single-cell Trapping Method on Digital Microfluidics

Authors: Jiao Zhai, Haoran Li, Ada Hang-Heng Wong, Cheng Dong, Shuhong Yi, Yanwei Jia, Pui-In Mak, Chuxia Deng and Rui Martins, date: 10/05/2020, view: 365, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] Due to cell heterogeneity, the differences among individual cells are averaged out in bulk analysis methods, especially in the analysis of primary tumor biopsy samples from patients. To deeply understand the cell-to-cell variation in a primary tumor, single-cell culture and analysis with limited amount of cells are in high demand. Microfluidics ...

Measuring Cell Growth and Junction Development in Epithelial Cells Using Electric Cell-Substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS)

Authors: Shaista Anwer and Katalin Szaszi, date: 08/20/2020, view: 1278, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] Electric Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS) is an automated method that can be used to quantify processes such as cell attachment, growth, migration and barrier functions (i.e., the properties of tight junctions). The method provides simultaneous information on cell number and tight junction function by detecting electric parameters ...

SMART (Single Molecule Analysis of Resection Tracks) Technique for Assessing DNA end-Resection in Response to DNA Damage

Authors: Angela Altieri, Milena Dell’Aquila, Francesca Pentimalli, Antonio Giordano and Alfano Luigi, date: 08/05/2020, view: 1139, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are among the most toxic lesions affecting genome integrity. DSBs are mainly repaired through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR). A crucial step of the HR process is the generation, through DNA end-resection, of a long 3′ single-strand DNA stretch, necessary to prime DNA synthesis ...

A CRISPR Competition Assay to Identify Cancer Genetic Dependencies

Authors: Vishruth Girish and Jason M. Sheltzer, date: 07/20/2020, view: 1717, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] The CRISPR/Cas9 system is a powerful tool for genome editing, wherein the RNA-guided nuclease Cas9 can be directed to introduce double-stranded breaks (DSBs) at a targeted locus. In mammalian cells, these DSBs are typically repaired through error-prone processes, resulting in insertions or deletions (indels) at the targeted locus. Researchers can ...

Immunofluorescent Staining of Claudin-2 in Cultured Kidney Tubular Cells

Authors: Shaista Anwer and Katalin Szaszi, date: 07/20/2020, view: 728, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] Members of the claudin family of tight junction proteins regulate paracellular permeability and modulate cell signaling. During junction remodeling, these proteins are selectively inserted into or retrieved from the tight junctions, but the control and coordination of these processes remain incompletely understood. Visualization of claudins allows ...
