Fibrin matrices containing growth factors were used to retain grafted neural stem cells into sites of complete spinal cord transection. Grafted cells completely filled the lesion cavity and differentiated into multiple neural cell types, including neurons that extended axons into host spinal cord over long distances.

¹Biophysics Core Facility, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health

We describe a single-molecule approach to antigen-antibody affinity measurements using mass photometry (MP). The MP-based protocol is fast, accurate, uses a very small amount of material, and does not require protein modification.

¹Department of Psychology, School of Social Sciences, Tsinghua University, ²Department of Computer Science, Beijing Normal University, ³Haier Innovation Design Center, Haier Company

The presented protocol integrates various evaluation methods and demonstrates a method to evaluate the keyboard design on smartphones. Pairs matched by English characters are proposed as the input material, and the transition time between two keys is used as the dependent variable.

Purification of Ubiquitinated p53 Proteins from Mammalian Cells

Di Wu¹, Mengfan He¹, Dawei Li¹

¹Center for Translational Medicine, The Affiliated Zhangjiagang Hospital of Soochow University

The protocol describes a step-by-step method to purify ubiquitinated proteins from mammalian cells using the p53 tumor suppressor protein as an example. Ubiquitinated p53 proteins were purified from cells under stringent nondenaturing and denaturing conditions.
