Detection of DNA damage by alkaline comet assay in mouse colonic mucosa
Summary: We recently characterized the association between DNA damage and immunoresponse in vivo in colonic mucosa of mice infected with a Salmonella Typhimurium strain expressing a genotoxin, known as typhoid toxin.

The Effects of Statistical Multiplicity of Infection on Virus Quantification and Infectivity Assays
Many biological assays are employed in virology to quantify parameters of interest. Two such classes of assays, virus quantification assays (VQA) and infectivity assays (IA), aim to estimate the number of viruses present in a solution, and the ability of

Protocol to measure inter-centrosome distance in adherent cells using epifluorescence microscopy
Summary: We present here a protocol to assay the centrosome separation events at late-G2 phase of the cell cycle by immunofluorescence microscopy. We describe the steps required for imaging and measurement of inter-centrosome distance.

Measuring SERCA-mediated calcium uptake in mouse muscle homogenates
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 ...

Engineered basement membranes: from in vivo considerations to cell-based assays.
Improvements in the physiological relevance of cell-based assays have been enabled by the development of various interdisciplinary methods. However, due to their complexity, in vivo structures such as basement membranes (BMs), which regulate the ...

A pilot study evaluating concordance between blood-based and patient-matched tumor molecular testing within pancreatic cancer patients participating in the Know Your Tumor (KYT) initiative [PDF]
Recent improvements in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology have enabled detection of biomarkers in cell-free DNA in blood and may ultimately replace invasive tissue biopsies.

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since
