Establishment of a Stable Organoid Culture System: Customization and Standardization
Prefix Organoids are miniature organs created in vitro from adult stem cells (ASCs) or pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). They form three-dimensional (3D) tissue-like structures through the self-organization, self-renewal, and differentiation capabilities of stem cells. Compared to traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures or spheroids, organoids closely resemble living organs in terms of ...

Label-based Protein Quantification Technology: iTRAQ, TMT, SILAC
Changes in the number of proteomes in a cell have a big effect on many aspects of life. For example, the occurrence and development of many diseases are often accompanied by abnormal expression of certain proteins. Quantitative proteomics is the accurate quantification and identification of all proteins expressed in a genome or all proteins in a complex mixed system. At present, quantitative ...

The Relationship Between Enzyme Function and Health
In the early 20th century, humans discovered vitamins, and then trace elements and minerals. It was only in the mid-1980s that humans realized the importance of enzymes. Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine Arthur Kornberg said: "For our lives, we can no longer find other substances as important as enzymes in nature." Enzymes control the entire body, and when enzymes function abnormally is ...

Top-Down Proteomics vs. Bottom-Up Proteomics
Protein research is one of the most challenging topics in analytical chemistry. Initial protein research focused on developing techniques capable of isolating and identifying major sequences (or portions) of proteins. The Edman degradation of peptides is a revolutionary method to identify the main amino acid sequence of a peptide. In addition, the whole sequence of proteins can be determined by ...

Introduction to Protein Digestion—In-Gel or In-Solution
The most common endoprotease used for protein digestion is serine protease trypsin, which produces peptides that are highly amenable to MS/MS analysis. Depending on the preceding workflow, the enzymatic digestion of proteins is performed either in-gel or in-solution. Generally, the in-gel digestion methodology has become routine for proteins separated by 2-D electrophoresis while in-solution ...
