Separation technology of proteins from a complex mixture by two-dimensional gel (2D gel) was invented more than 40 years ago. With a good laboratory practice, the 2D gels are likely to be dried and stored at ambient temperature as archived record. Up until the beginning of this century, it had been difficult to identify the protein spots isolated on 2D gels. However, the advent of mass spectrometry-based proteomics protocols combined with genome information enabled us to determine the identity of a protein separated on 2D gels archived decades ago. The protocol will assist researchers to decipher molecular mechanisms involved in the system by identifying and quantifying the protein of interest from archived 2D gels.

Hydrogel-based tissue expansion combined with mass spectrometry (MS) offers an emerging spatial proteomics approach. Here, we present a filter-aided expansion proteomics (FAXP) strategy for spatial proteomics analysis of archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens. Compared to our previous ProteomEx method, FAXP employed a customized tip device to enhance both the stability and throughput of sample preparation, thus guaranteeing the reproducibility and robustness of the workflow.

Cellular organization and functions encompass multiple scales in vivo. Emerging high-plex imaging technologies are limited in resolving subcellular biomolecular features. Expansion Microscopy (ExM) and related techniques physically expand samples for enhanced spatial resolution, but are challenging to be combined with high-plex imaging technologies to enable integrative multiscaled tissue biology insights.

Globally, the emergence of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has had a significant impact on life. The need for ongoing SARS-CoV-2 screening employing inexpensive and quick diagnostic approaches is undeniable, given the ongoing pandemic and variations in vaccine administration in resource-constrained regions. This study presents results as proof of concept to use hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas12a complex for detecting SARS-CoV-2.
