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.

Western blotting (WB) is a commonly used experimental method in molecular biology, biochemistry, and immunogenetics for identifying and quantifying target proteins. It combines gel electrophoresis with immunoassay, enabling researchers to analyze protein expression, post-translational modifications, and molecular weight.

Recombinant protein expression in Escherichia coli followed by purification of a His-tagged soluble protein by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC), with optional MBP fusion and TEV tag removal when the construct includes these elements. The biological readout is production of the encoded target protein, detected as an inducible band at the expected molecular mass by SDS-PAGE and quantified by total protein assay or chromatographic absorbance; the purification readout is enrichment of the target protein in elution fractions after selective binding of polyhistidine residues to immobilized Ni2+/metal-chelate resin and elution by imidazole-containing buffer. Expression is driven by an inducible bacterial expression system, commonly T7/lac-based, in which IPTG or lactose/auto-induction activates transcription and translation of the cloned gene; lower induction temperature, lower inducer concentration, induction timing, and solubility-enhancing fusion tags can influence the frac

Directly induced neuron culture converts somatic cells, most commonly fibroblasts, into induced neurons without passing through a pluripotent or neural progenitor stage; classic evidence shows that mouse fibroblasts can be converted by Ascl1, Brn2/Pou3f2, and Myt1l, human fibroblasts can be converted by defined neuronal transcription factors, and human fibroblasts can also be converted by miR-9/9-124 with neurogenic or subtype-specifying transcription factors. The readout is acquisition of neuronal identity and function, assessed by neuronal morphology, neuronal markers such as Tuj1/βIII-tubulin, MAP2, synapsin, and subtype markers when relevant, together with functional assays such as action-potential firing, synaptic activity, and electrophysiology.
