Measuring SERCA-mediated calcium uptake in mouse muscle homogenates
STAR Protocols, 2023 Summary: This protocol employs the indo-1 Ca2+ fluorophore to quantify Ca2+ uptake by the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase pump in murine muscle homogenates and allows for real-time kinetic measurement of Ca2+ mobilization within the muscle ...

New cationic nanovesicular systems containing lysine-based surfactants for topical administration: Toxicity assessment using representative skin cell lines [PDF]
, 2013 Many strategies for treating diseases require the delivery of drugs into the cell cytoplasm following internalization within endosomal vesicles. Thus, compounds triggered by low pH to disrupt membranes and release endosomal contents into the cytosol are ...

Measurement of autophagy via LC3 western blotting following DNA-damage-induced senescence
STAR Protocols, 2022 Summary: Senescent cells accumulation is associated with aging and age-related diseases, and recent findings suggest that autophagy, the activity of the intracellular degradation system, decreases during senescence.
