Protocols

Protocol for Shuttle Box Test (TDPA)
The Shuttle Box Test for TDPA, or temporally dissociated passive avoidance, measures hippocampus-dependent associative learning by testing whether a rodent avoids entering a dark compartment that was previously paired with foot shock after a temporal delay between dark-compartment entry and shock delivery. The main behavioral readout is crossover or step-through latency from the light chamber into the dark chamber; increased latency across training or retention trials reflects learned avoidance memory rather than motor performance alone.
-
Protocol for Elevated Plus Maze Test
The Elevated Plus Maze is a rodent anxiety-like behavior assay based on the conflict between spontaneous exploration and avoidance of open, elevated, exposed spaces. The apparatus contains two open arms and two closed arms arranged in a plus shape, and rodents normally spend more time in closed arms than open arms. The assay readout is generated by recording arm entries, time spent in open and closed arms, and related exploratory behaviors. Increased open-arm time or open-arm entries is commonly interpreted as reduced anxiety-like behavior, whereas reduced open-arm exploration is interpreted as increased anxiety-like behavior.

Protocol for Water Maze
The Morris Water Maze is a rodent spatial learning and memory assay in which a mouse or rat swims in opaque water to find an escape platform; in the hidden-platform version, the animal cannot see the platform and must use distal extra-maze cues to learn its fixed spatial location. The assay primarily measures hippocampus-dependent spatial learning during acquisition trials and spatial reference memory during probe trials after platform removal; readouts include escape latency, swim path length, swim speed, quadrant occupancy, platform-site crossings, and proximity to the former platform location.

Research Protocol for Inflammation-related Diseases
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic innate immune signaling platform that integrates priming signals and danger-signal activation to promote caspase-1 activation, maturation of IL-1β and IL-18, and gasdermin D-mediated pyroptotic cell death. The core experimental logic is to determine whether inflammatory disease phenotypes are driven by increased NLRP3 expression, ASC-containing inflammasome assembly, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, and extracellular release of IL-1β/IL-18 rather than by nonspecific cell injury alone. The pathway is strongly linked to inflammation-related disease phenotypes because monosodium urate crystals activate NALP3/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in gout-like crystal inflammation, cholesterol crystals activate NLRP3 inflammasomes in atherogenesis models, and DSS-induced intestinal inflammation has been reported to involve NLRP3 inflammasome activity. However, experimental colitis studies also show context-dependent protective effects of NLRP3 inflammasome co
