Macroautophagy or autophagy is a cellular conserved process involved in the regulation of host innate immune responses against microbial infection. Here, we describe a robust method for evaluation of T2R14-dependent autophagy flux in GECs.

Isolated chondrocytes with bioink additives provide a tissue-specific microenvironment. Herein, we discuss a standardized protocol with multiple applications in the area of organ-on-a-chip model development, spheroid formation, microfluidics platform, bioprinting, and tissue engineering.

Previously, it was demonstrated that OM and osteoblasts contained within neonatal calvarial cells are critical to maintain hematopoietic function. Additionally, interactions between neonatal calvarial cells and megakaryocytes further enhance this hematopoietic activity. In this chapter, we explore one such interaction involving OM and osteoblasts in the hematopoietic niche.

In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the simple GSC system has served as an important model for understanding stem cell biology and underlying genetic architecture. GSC niche activity in C. elegans is highly sensitive to subtle environmental and genetic variation. Quantifying variation in the C. elegans GSC niche is therefore essential; however, most methods to do so remain labor-intensive and time-consuming when screening large numbers of individuals. Here, we present a simple and efficient method to estimate the size of the C. elegans GSC niche progenitor pool.
