High-throughput screening of large collections of plants, whether in the context of gene function analysis, quality trait selection, or metabolic engineering requires robust and rapid methodologies that provide maximum information with minimum sample pre-fractionation. Here, we present a protocol for high-throughput plant metabolomic analysis developed for Arabidopsis and generally applicable to plant green tissue, including other Brassicaceae. The methodology uses combined, flow injection electrospray mass spectrometry (FI-ESI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy analysis. The protocol covers all steps of the process including sample extraction, data acquisition, data processing, and multivariate statistical analysis.

mRNA delivered using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) has become an important subunit vaccine modality, but mechanisms of action for mRNA vaccines remain incompletely understood. Here, we synthesized a metal chelator-lipid conjugate enabling positron emission tomography (PET) tracer labeling of LNP/mRNA vaccines for quantitative visualization of vaccine trafficking in live mice and non-human primates (NHPs).

Background: Sepsis is defined as multi-organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host response to infection. This dysregulated host response includes enhanced inflammatory responses and suppressed adaptive immunity, but the molecular mechanisms behind it have not yet been elucidated. CD72, a type II transmembrane protein that is primarily expressed in B cells, was found to play an immunomodulatory role in the immune system and was associated with mortality in patients with sepsis.

Background: Sepsis is characterized by an excessive immune response. Modulation of the immune response, particularly macrophage polarization, may provide therapeutic benefit. The effects of Caerulomycin A (caeA), a known STAT1 phosphorylation inhibitor, on macrophage polarization and inflammatory markers were explored using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis mouse model.

Collective migration of cancer cells is often interpreted using concepts derived from the physics of active matter, but the experimental evidence is mostly restricted to observations made in vitro. Here, we study collective invasion of metastatic cancer cells injected into the mouse deep dermis using intravital multiphoton microscopy combined with a skin window technique and three-dimensional quantitative image analysis. We observe a multicellular but low-cohesive migration mode characterized by rotational patterns which self-organize into antiparallel persistent tracks with orientational nematic order.

Background: Neuroinflammation is one of the essential pathogeneses of cognitive damage suffering from sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). Lots of evidences showed the microglia presented mitochondrial fragmentation during SAE. This study investigated the protective effects and novel mechanisms of inhibiting microglia mitochondrial fragmentation via mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1) on cognitive damage in SAE.
