Protocols
-
RNA extraction experimental
By lysing cells, releasing RNA, and removing impurities such as proteins and DNA, high-purity RNA products are finally obtained. The commonly used traditional method is the guanidine isothiocyanate/phenol/chloroform method (Trizol), which is suitable for a variety of animal materials including animal tissues, microorganisms, cultured cells, etc., and most plant materials.
-
Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.
-
Cell migration
Cell migration is a method that plays an important role in wound healing, cell differentiation, embryonic development, etc.
-
Cell invasion
Cell invasion is the ability of cells to migrate from one area to another via the extracellular matrix. Cell invasion is the response of normal and cancer cells to chemical and mechanical stimuli. Before migrating to a new region, the extracellular matrix is degraded by proteases within the cell. Cell invasion often occurs during wound repair, vascularization and inflammation, abnormal tissue invasion, and tumor cell metastasis.
-
Soft Agar Colony Formation Assay
Soft agar colony formation assay measures anchorage-independent growth, in which transformed or tumorigenic cells proliferate as colonies in a semisolid agar matrix while many non-transformed adherent cells fail to proliferate without attachment; classic studies showed that growth in semisolid medium correlates with tumorigenicity in nude mice, and later protocol papers describe the method as a stringent in vitro assay for malignant transformation. The readout is the number, size, morphology, or signal intensity of colonies formed within agar after incubation; published formats include manual colony counting after staining, 96-well or 384-well quantitative formats, DNA-binding dye detection, MTT/tetrazolium-based detection, digital image analysis, and PCR-based marker detection from soft agar cultures.

Liver Cancer Modeling
Liver cancer can be classified into primary liver cancer and secondary liver cancer. Secondary liver cancer is the metastatic liver cancer. Primary liver cancer includes hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and fibrolamellar HCC, of which HCC is the most common form, accounting for approximately 90% of primary liver cancers[1]. HCC mouse models include chemical agent-induced models, transplanted tumor models, and genetic engineered models.
-
Colony Formation (Clonogenic) Assay
The clonogenic (colony formation) assay measures the ability of a single cell to retain reproductive viability and form a macroscopic colony, typically defined as a cluster derived from one progenitor cell after a defined growth period. This assay is widely used to evaluate cell survival after exposure to ionizing radiation or cytotoxic treatments and is considered a standard method in radiation biology for generating dose-response relationships of reproductive cell death. Colony formation reflects long-term proliferative capacity rather than short-term metabolic activity, and survival is quantified by comparing treated versus untreated conditions based on colony number and derived survival fractions.

Research Protocol for Cancer Immunology
Cancer immunology studies how the immune system recognizes, suppresses, edits, or fails to eliminate malignant cells through tumor antigen release, antigen presentation, T-cell priming, immune trafficking, tumor-cell killing, and feedback inhibition in the tumor microenvironment. The cancer-immunity cycle links tumor antigenicity, dendritic-cell priming, CD8+ T-cell infiltration, cytotoxic function, and immune-checkpoint regulation to tumor rejection or immune escape. Immune-checkpoint pathways such as PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 suppress antitumor T-cell activity and can be therapeutically blocked, but many tumors remain resistant because of poor antigen presentation, weak T-cell infiltration, suppressive myeloid cells, regulatory T cells, and tumor-intrinsic immune-exclusion programs. Unresolved questions include which immune-cell states predict response, how tumor-intrinsic pathways exclude immune cells, how myeloid suppression limits checkpoint blockade, and which combination strategies
