Studying the earliest events of preneoplastic cell progression and innate immune cell interaction is pivotal to understand and treat cancer. Here we describe a method to conditionally induce epithelial cell transformations and the subsequent live imaging of innate immune cell interaction with HRAS^G12V expressing skin cells in zebrafish larvae.

¹Dongzhimen Hospital affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, ²Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, Peking University People's Hospital

This study reveals the mechanism of Trichosanthes-Fritillaria thunbergii in treating lung adenocarcinoma based on network pharmacology and experimental verification. The study also demonstrates that the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway plays a vital role in the action of Trichosanthes-Fritillaria thunbergii in treating lung adenocarcinoma.

Stabilized Window for Intravital Imaging of the Murine Pancreas

Jakeb Petersen^*1,2,3, Wei Du^*4,5, Christian Adkisson^1,4, Claudia Gravekamp^6,7, Maja H. Oktay^2,3,4,7,8,9, John Condeelis^{1,3,4,7,8,9,10}, Nicole C. Panarelli^2,3,7, John C. McAuliffe^1,2,3,7,8, David Entenberg^2,3,4,7,8,9

We present a protocol for the surgical implantation of a stabilized indwelling optical window for subcellular-resolution imaging of the murine pancreas, allowing serial and longitudinal studies of the healthy and diseased pancreas.
