Numerous protocols are available being adapted for different cell or tissue types allowing isolation of pure mitochondria trying to preserve their "structural and functional" integrity. In this chapter we intend to provide a more general framework introducing differential isopycnic density gradient centrifugation strategy with a special focus sensitizing for the specific challenges coming along with this method and how to obtain "functional," enriched, "intact" mitochondria. Due to the fact that in any study dealing with these organelles standardized processing is mandatory. Here we describe a strategy addressing quality control of prepared intact mitochondria. The quality control should be an integrated part of all isolation processes. The underlying protocol should be seen as starting point and has to be carefully adjusted to cover different sample types used for the diverse research questions.

Dust emissions from open-pit mining pose a significant threat to environmental safety and human health. Currently, the range of dust suppressants used in coal mining is limited, often failing to account for their suitability across various stockpiles. This oversight results in poor infiltration after application, leading to insufficient crust formation and reduced durability.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease causing myelin and axon damage through inflammatory and autoimmune processes. Despite affecting millions worldwide, understanding its genetic pathways remains limited. The choroid plexus (ChP) has been studied in neurodegenerative processes and diseases like MS due to its dysregulation, yet its role in MS pathophysiology remains unclear.
