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.

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.
