Fluorescence-based protocol for revealing cellular arrangement in biofilms
STAR Protocols, 2023 Summary: Standardized assays have greatly advanced the understanding of multicellular bacterial biofilms, but they lack cell-scale detail. Here, we present a fluorescence-based protocol that builds on past assays to reveal the cellular-scale arrangement ...

A–C Estrogens as Potent and Selective Estrogen Receptor-Beta Agonists (SERBAs) to Enhance Memory Consolidation under Low-Estrogen Conditions [PDF]
, 2018 Estrogen receptor-beta (ERβ) is a drug target for memory consolidation in postmenopausal women. Herein is reported a series of potent and selective ERβ agonists (SERBAs) with in vivo efficacy that are A–C estrogens, lacking the B and D estrogen rings ...

Diagnostic assays for leprosy based on T-cell epitopes. [PDF]
, 2000 To date, only a limited number of antigens have been described as specific for Mycobacterium leprae, and in many cases, homologues have subsequently been shown to exist in mycobacteria such as M. avium and M. intracellulare.

Live-cell metabolic analysis of oligodendroglia isolated from postnatal mouse brain and spinal cord
STAR Protocols, 2022 Summary: This protocol describes isolation and live-cell metabolic analysis of O4+ oligodendroglia from brain and spinal cord of postnatal mice. We have optimized existing protocols for O4+ isolation from neonatal brain and expanded the protocol to ...

Microfluidics for cell-based assays
Materials Today, 2005 Microfluidic systems are powerful tools in chemistry, physics, and biology. The behavior of confined fluids differs from macroscopic systems and allows precise control of the chemical composition of fluids, as well as the temporal and spatial patterns of microscopic fluid elements.

Cell-Based Assays for Screening Androgen Receptor Ligands [PDF]
Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2015 The androgen receptor (AR, NR3C4) mediates the majority of androgen effects on target cells. The AR is activated following ligand binding that result is enhanced of target gene transcription. Several cell-based model systems have been developed that allow sensitive detection and monitoring of steroids or other compounds with AR bioactivity.
