One necessary step is to identify the antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) within a microbial population, referred to as the resistome, as well as the mobile genetic elements (MGEs) harboring ARGs. Although shotgun metagenomics has been successful in detecting ARGs and MGEs within a microbiome, it is limited by low sensitivity. Enrichment using cRNA biotinylated probes has been applied to address this limitation, enhancing the detection of rare ARGs and MGEs, especially when combined with long-read sequencing. Here, we present the TELCoMB protocol, a Snakemake workflow that elucidates resistome and mobilome composition and diversity and uncovers ARG-MGE colocalizations. The protocol supports both short- and long-read sequencing and does not require enrichment, making it versatile for various genomic data types. TELCoMB generates publication-ready figures and CSV files for comprehensive analysis, improving our understanding of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and spread. © 2024 The Author(s).

Over the past few decades, calcium signaling in cardiomyocytes has been extensively studied in cardiovascular sciences. However, a standard methodology is needed not only to trace the calcium within cells but also to remove signal processing biases and to accurately interpret the features of calcium transient signals in relation to cardiomyocyte electrophysiology. This article outlines the use of genetically encoded calcium indicator (GCaMP) human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) to record calcium transients. These cells express a green fluorescent signal when calcium binds to intracellular calmodulin, a key regulator of calcium signaling. The extraction and processing of calcium transient waveforms are performed using ImageJ and MATLAB software. Key features of these waveforms are then identified and categorized based on their physiological relevance to cardiomyocyte function. Additionally, this work includes a Support Protocol for the successful replating of cardiomyocytes onto non-traditional culture platforms, such as metallic sensors and polymer-based substrates, to facilitate data multiplexing. The three Basic Protocols outlined here provide a comprehensive approach for maintaining, expanding, and differentiating the GCaMP hiPSCs, video recording of calcium transients, and the subsequent signal extraction, preprocessing, analysis, and data visualization. © 2024 The Author(s).

These models exhibit distinctive features whereby sub-threshold stimuli instigate the initial induction of brief focal seizures. Over time, the severity and duration of these seizures progressively increase, leading to a fully epileptic state, which is marked by consistent development of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Kindling involves focal stimulation via implanted depth electrodes or repeated administration of chemoconvulsants such as pentylenetetrazol. Comparative analysis of preclinical and clinical findings has confirmed a high predictive validity of fully kindled animals for testing novel antiseizure medications. Thus, kindling models remain an essential component of anticonvulsant drug development programs. This article provides a comprehensive guide to working protocols, testing of therapeutic drugs, outcome parameters, troubleshooting, and data analysis for various electrical and chemical kindling epileptogenesis models for new therapeutic development and optimization. The use of pharmacological agents or genetically modified mice in kindling experiments is valuable, offering insights into the impact of a specific target on various aspects of seizures, including thresholds, initiation, spread, termination, and the generation of a hyperexcitable network.

Since the first recorded mouse experiment in 1664, the mouse has become the most used animal model in biomedical research. Mice are ideally suited as a model organism because of their small size, short gestation period, large litter size, and genetic similarity to humans. This article provides a broad overview of the laboratory mouse as a model organism and is intended for undergraduates and those new to working with mice. We delve into the history of the laboratory mouse and outline important terminology to accurately describe research mice. The types of laboratory mice available to researchers are reviewed, including outbred stocks, inbred strains, immunocompromised mice, and genetically engineered mice. The critical role mice have played in advancing knowledge in the areas of oncology, immunology, and pharmacology is highlighted by examining the significant contribution of mice to Nobel Prize winning research. International mouse mutagenesis programs and accurate phenotyping of mouse models are outlined. We also explain important considerations for working with mice, including animal ethics; the welfare principles of replacement, refinement, and reduction; and the choice of mouse model in experimental design. Finally, we present practical advice for maintaining a mouse colony, which involves adequate training of staff, the logistics of mouse housing, monitoring colony health, and breeding strategies. Useful resources for working with mice are also listed. The aim of this overview is to equip the reader with a broad appreciation of the enormous potential and some of the complexities of working with the laboratory mouse in a quest to improve human health. © 2024 The Author(s).

A major challenge in establishing epithelial cancer cell lines is the removal of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). CAFs are abundant within the tumor microenvironment.

Among all cancer types, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by an abundant desmoplastic stroma. Here, we describe protocols for establishing epithelial cancer cell lines from mouse models of PDAC and verifying that they are not CAFs.

While several flow cytometry panels have been developed to study cancer immunity in mice, most are limited in their capacity to address the complexity of anti-cancer immune responses. For example, many of the panels developed to date focus on a restricted number of leukocyte populations (T cells or antigen-presenting cells), failing to include the multitude of other subsets that participate in anti-cancer immunity. In addition, these panels were developed using blood or splenic leukocytes. While the immune composition of the blood or spleen can provide information on systemic immune responses to cancer, it is in the tumor microenvironment (TME) that local immunity takes place. Therefore, we optimized this spectral flow cytometry panel to identify the chief cell types that take part in cancer immunity using immune cells from cancer tissue. We used pancreatic tumors implanted both orthotopically and subcutaneously to demonstrate the panel's flexibility and suitability in diverse mouse models. The panel was also validated in peripheral immune districts (the blood, spleen, and liver of tumor-bearing mice) to allow comparisons between local and systemic anti-tumor immunity. © 2024 The Author(s).

Cloning and sequencing guided selection of error-free sequence overcome the problems of substitution, deletion, and addition errors that cannot be addressed using any other methods, including CBP.
