- Genome-wide profiling of histone modifications in Plasmodium falciparum using CUT&RUN
We present a detailed step-wise protocol for reliable genome-wide profiling of histone modifications using CUT&RUN that requires only low numbers of Plasmodium falciparum blood stages.
- A high-content endogenous GLUT4 trafficking assay reveals new aspects of adipocyte biology
The authors describe a high-throughput method for measuring endogenous GLUT4 and transferrin receptor translocation in adipocytes. They reveal that this method has advantages over studying GLUT4 trafficking using overexpressed GLUT4 reporters, which are commonly used in the field.
- Measuring cystic fibrosis drug responses in organoids derived from 2D differentiated nasal epithelia
This work describes an optimized assay to determine CFTR drug responses in people with cystic fibrosis, using nasal-airway organoids that are generated from 2D differentiated epithelial monolayers.
- Workflow for high-dimensional flow cytometry analysis of T cells from tumor metastases
We describe an improved method for the high-dimensional flow cytometry analysis of conventional and rare unconventional T cells infiltrating tumor liver metastases.
- Evaluation of the correctable decoding sequencing as a new powerful strategy for DNA sequencing
This article proposed the correctable decoding sequencing technology with conservative theoretical error rate of 0.0009%, and evaluated its robustness by simulation. This technology can provide a powerful new protocol for NGS platforms, enabling accurate identification of rare mutations in medicine.
- Tracking connectivity maps in human stem cell–derived neuronal networks by holographic optogenetics
Holographic optogenetic stimulation of human iPSC–derived neuronal networks was exploited to map precise functional connectivity motifs and their long-term dynamics during network development.
- A FIJI macro for quantifying pattern in extracellular matrix
This work provides a quantitative tool for the analysis of fibrillar patterns in biology. We demonstrates its utility on in vitro generated extracellular matrices, mouse tissues, and patient samples. The tool is already publicly available to the research community.
- Quantification of cristae architecture reveals time-dependent characteristics of individual mitochondria
A novel, machine-learning approach to quantify cristae density and architecture in live-cell super-resolution imaging characterizes the ultrastructural parameters of individual mitochondria over time.
- Robust production of uniform human cerebral organoids from pluripotent stem cells
By leveraging advances in 3D stem cell culture techniques, the authors describe, characterize and validate a novel platform to efficiently generate morphologically consistent human forebrain cerebral organoids.
- Simultaneous multiple allelic replacement in the malaria parasite enables dissection of PKG function
This work combines the use of an inducible Cre recombinase and different lox sites to simultaneously create multiple allelic replacements. We show that an essential malarial cGMP-dependent protein kinase functions exclusively during the release of the parasite from its host cell.
