In this protocol, the translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) method and the isolation of nuclei tagged in specific cell types (INTACT) method were optimized for the paired interrogation of the cell-specific ovarian transcriptome and epigenome using the NuTRAP mouse model crossed to a Cyp17a1-Cre mouse line.

This is a report on an experimental model of ligature-induced peri-implantitis in mice. We describe all surgical steps, from pre- and post-operative management of the animals, extractions, implant placement, and ligature-induced peri-implantitis.
