Crosstalk between the vasculature and the heart cells regulates homeostasis in health and disease. To model heart development and disease <i>in vitro</i> it is important that essential features of this crosstalk are captured. Cardiac organoid and microtissue models often integrate endothelial cells (ECs) to form microvascular networks inside the 3D structure. However, in static culture without perfusion, these networks may fail to show essential functionality. Here, we describe a protocol to generate an <i>in vitro</i> model of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived vascularized cardiac microtissues on a microfluidic organ-on-chip platform (VMToC) in which the blood vessels are perfusable. First, prevascularized cardiac microtissues (MT) are formed by combining hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, ECs, and cardiac fibroblasts in a pre-defined ratio. Next, these prevascularized MTs are integrated in the chips in a fibrin hydrogel containing additional vascular cells, which self-organize into tubular structures. The MTs become vascularized through anastomosis between the pre-existing microvasculature in the MT and the external vascular network. The VMToCs are then ready for downstream structural and functional assays and basic characterization. Using this protocol, cardiac MTs can be efficiently and robustly vascularized and perfused within 7 days. <i>In vitro</i> vascularized organoid and MT models have the potential to transition current 3D cardiac models to more physiologically relevant organ models that allow the role of the endothelial barrier in drug and inflammatory response to be investigated. © 2024 The Author(s).

Bioharmonophores are optical imaging nanoprobes composed of biodegradable polymer–encapsulated, self-assembling triphenylalanine peptides. They produce a strong second harmonic generation (SHG) signal, a non-linear optical process in which two photons directed at a non-centrosymmetric medium combine to form a new photon with twice the energy. Bioharmonophores demonstrate superior optical properties compared to fluorescent probes and, unlike previously developed inorganic SHG nanoprobes, are both biocompatible and biodegradable. Here, we present a protocol providing five detailed procedures that describe (1) synthesis of bioharmonophores; (2) embedding and imaging of the synthesized SHG nanoprobes in polyacrylamide gel; (3) functionalization of bioharmonophores with thiol-containing polyethyleneglycol; (4) subsequent click chemistry to target cancer cells; and (5) imaging of functionalized bioharmonophores endocytosed by cancer cells using two-photon microscopy. Bioharmonophores hold great potential as clinical contrast agents due to their optical features and could be used in the future as an innovative approach to cancer treatment using targeted high-resolution optical imaging. © 2024 The Author(s).

Yet, the idiosyncratic technical intricacies across tools and the integration complexities associated with handling structure annotation data present significant barriers to seamless interoperability and steep learning curves for many users. The necessity for reproducible data visualizations is at the forefront of the current challenges. Recently, we introduced MolViewSpec (homepage: https://molstar.org/mol-view-spec/, GitHub project: https://github.com/molstar/mol-view-spec), a specification approach that defines molecular visualizations, decoupling them from the varying implementation details of different molecular viewers. Through the protocols presented herein, we demonstrate how to use MolViewSpec and its 3D view–building Python library for creating sophisticated, customized 3D views covering all standard molecular visualizations. MolViewSpec supports representations like cartoon and ball-and-stick with coloring, labeling, and applying complex transformations such as superposition to any macromolecular structure file in mmCIF, BinaryCIF, and PDB formats. These examples showcase progress towards reusability and interoperability of molecular 3D visualization in an era when handling molecular structures at scale is a timely and pressing matter in structural bioinformatics as well as research and education across the life sciences. © 2024 The Authors.

In research, aggregometry provides insights into platelet aggregation dynamics and aids in understanding the underlying mechanisms of hemostasis, thrombosis, and related disorders. Light transmission aggregometry (LTA) and lumi-aggregometry, as well as whole blood aggregometry, are commonly employed methods. While LTA and lumi-aggregometry allow for specific platelet function assessment under controlled conditions, whole blood aggregometry provides a more physiologically relevant approach by evaluating platelet aggregation within the context of whole blood.</p><p>Although both methodologies offer unique advantages, whole blood aggregometry allows for preservation of the native cellular environment, simplicity, and potential for better clinical correlation. In a clinical setting, with human blood samples, protocols are established for both LTA and whole blood aggregometry as they are frequently used diagnostic tools. A protocol for LTA and lumi-aggregometry in murine models has been described; however, to date, there is no standardized protocol for whole blood aggregometry in murine models accessible to hematology researchers. This article aims to outline a simple, basic protocol for murine whole blood aggregometry, offering an alternative method to the commonly used LTA aggregometry in research settings. Standardizing whole blood aggregometry protocols in murine models could enhance experimental reliability and facilitate translational research efforts in hematology. © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 1</b>: Whole blood aggregometry in mice</p><p><b>Support Protocol</b>: Phenylhydrazine-induced anemia in wild-type mice</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 2</b>: Hematocrit percentage in mice</p>","PeriodicalId":93970,"journal":{"name":"Current protocols","volume":"4 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141629586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These impacts are dependent on the properties of MPs, including size, morphology, and chemistry, as well as the dose and route of exposure. This overview offers a perspective on the current methods used to assess the bioactivity of MPs. First, we discuss methods associated with MP bioactivity research with an emphasis on the variety of assays, exposure conditions, and reference MP particles that have been used. Next, we review the challenges presented by common instrumentation and laboratory materials, the lack of standardized reference materials, and the limited understanding of MP dosimetry. Finally, we propose solutions that can help increase the applicability and impact of future studies while reducing redundancy in the field.

As such, it provides a useful tool for studying mucosal immune regulation as it relates to the pathogenesis and treatment of IBD in humans.

Considerable advances guided by knowledge of fundamental renal developmental signaling pathways have been made with the use of exogenous morphogens to generate more robust kidney-like tissues <i>in vitro</i>. However, both biochemical and biophysical microenvironmental cues are major influences on tissue development and self-organization. In the context of engineering the biophysical aspects of the microenvironment, the use of hydrogel extracellular scaffolds for organoid studies has been gaining interest. Two families of hydrogels have recently been the subject of significant attention: self-assembling peptide hydrogels (SAPHs), which are fully synthetic and chemically defined, and gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels, which are semi-synthetic. Both can be used as support matrices for growing kidney organoids. Based on our recently published work, we highlight methods describing the generation of human iPSC (hiPSC)-derived kidney organoids and their maturation within SAPHs and GelMA hydrogels. We also detail protocols required for the characterization of such organoids using immunofluorescence imaging. Together, these protocols should enable the user to grow hiPSC-derived kidney organoids within hydrogels of this kind and evaluate the effects that the biophysical microenvironment provided by the hydrogels has on kidney organoid maturation. © 2024 The Authors.
