Cell cycle analysis with 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) and phospho-histone H3 (pH3) labeling is a multi-step procedure that may require extensive optimization. Here, we present a detailed protocol that describes all steps for this procedure including image analysis and quantification to distinguish cells in different cell cycle phases.
neuroHuMiX is an advanced gut-on-a-chip model to study the interactions of bacterial, epithelial, and neuronal cells under proximal and representative co-culture conditions. This model allows unravelling of the molecular mechanisms underlying the communication between the gut microbiome and the nervous system.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a physical parameter, often used in routine health checks and medical diagnosis. A theoretical model that allows to extract physically-meaningful parameters from the whole sedimentation curve, based on modern colloidal knowledge, has recently been developed. Here, we present a protocol to automatically collect the ESR over time, and extract the parameters of this recent model from this automated data collection. These refined parameters are also likely to improve the medical testimony.
