Protocols

Fibrosis/Collagen Morphometry
Fibrosis and collagen morphometry is based on the quantitative visualization of fibrillar collagen deposition in tissue sections using histochemical stains such as Sirius Red (Picrosirius Red) or Masson's trichrome, followed by image-based or polarization-enhanced analysis to estimate collagen proportional area as a surrogate of extracellular matrix accumulation during fibrotic remodeling. Sirius Red combined with polarized light microscopy enhances detection of collagen fibers due to birefringence properties, enabling more specific visualization of collagen type I and III fibrils compared to conventional bright-field histology, while whole-section or region-restricted digital morphometry reduces field-selection bias in fibrosis assessment. Alternative quantitative approaches include second harmonic generation (SHG) and two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy, which enable label-free detection of fibrillar collagen and have been validated against histological staining and biochemica

Invadopodia/Fluorescent Gelatin Degradation Assay
Invadopodia/fluorescent gelatin degradation assay detects proteolytic extracellular matrix degradation by cancer-cell invadopodia, which are actin-rich protrusive structures associated with matrix remodeling, invasion, and metastasis. The readout is generated by culturing cells on fluorescent gelatin and measuring dark degraded areas where fluorescent substrate has been locally removed, often together with immunofluorescent detection of invadopodia markers such as F-actin, cortactin, and TKS5.
-
Collagen: Sirius Red Staining
Sirius Red or picrosirius red staining is a histochemical method for visualizing collagen-rich extracellular matrix in tissue sections, and collagen fibers are detected as red-stained structures under bright-field microscopy with enhanced birefringence under polarized light. Picrosirius red is useful for assessing total collagen organization, distribution, and fibrosis burden, but polarized color should not be interpreted as a definitive collagen type I versus type III readout because color is affected by fiber orientation, thickness, and packing.

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.

ECM-Embedded Organoid (Matrigel/Dome) Culture
ECM-embedded organoid dome culture embeds epithelial stem cells, crypts, organoid fragments, or tumor-derived epithelial cells in a basement-membrane-like hydrogel such as Matrigel, allowing 3D growth, self-organization, lumen formation, budding or cystic morphogenesis, and lineage maintenance under defined niche-factor-containing medium. The primary readouts are organoid establishment efficiency, growth, morphology, passaging capacity, lineage-marker expression, and, when fluorescently labeled lines are used, microscopy- or flow-cytometry-based quantification of population behavior in 3D culture.
-
Matrigel/ECM Transwell Invasion Assay
The Matrigel/ECM Transwell invasion assay measures the ability of cells to move toward a chemoattractant while crossing an extracellular-matrix barrier placed on a porous membrane; therefore, the readout reflects both chemotactic motility and matrix invasion rather than migration alone. Matrigel is a basement-membrane-rich matrix derived from Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm mouse sarcoma and has been used as a reconstituted basement membrane barrier in chemoinvasion assays. The assay readout is generated by quantifying cells that reach the underside of the insert membrane or lower compartment after incubation, commonly by staining and counting invaded cells or by fluorescence-based quantification.

Research Protocol for Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular disease can be modeled as maladaptive cardiac remodeling, where ischemic injury or pressure overload activates inflammatory signaling, fibroblast activation, extracellular-matrix deposition, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, vascular remodeling, and progressive ventricular dysfunction. The TGF-β/SMAD axis is a central profibrotic pathway after myocardial injury and pressure overload, while innate immune and cytokine pathways regulate leukocyte recruitment, scar formation, and adverse remodeling. Key unresolved questions include which inflammatory signals are reparative versus harmful, when fibrosis is protective versus maladaptive, and whether pathway inhibition improves function without weakening necessary infarct healing or compensatory remodeling.

Pyroptosis Solutions
Pyroptosis is a lytic inflammatory cell-death pathway executed by gasdermin pores, most classically through inflammasome-mediated activation of caspase-1, cleavage of gasdermin D, membrane pore formation, LDH release, and secretion of IL-1β and IL-18. The canonical pathway is commonly modeled by priming cells with an inflammatory signal such as LPS to induce pro-IL-1β and inflammasome components, followed by an activation signal such as ATP or nigericin to activate NLRP3, ASC speck formation, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, cytokine release, and pyroptotic membrane rupture. The non-canonical pathway is triggered when cytosolic LPS activates mouse caspase-11 or human caspase-4/5, leading to GSDMD cleavage and pyroptosis, and this can secondarily activate NLRP3-dependent IL-1β release. Pyroptosis is linked to inflammatory injury, infection, cancer, liver disease, ocular disease, placental inflammation, and other disease phenotypes, but unresolved questions include which gasdermin fam

Matrigel Transwell/Boyden Chamber Invasion Assay
Matrigel Transwell/Boyden chamber invasion assay measures the ability of cells to degrade or traverse an extracellular matrix-coated porous membrane and move from an upper chamber toward a chemoattractant in a lower chamber. Invasion is distinguished from migration by coating the membrane with Matrigel or basement membrane matrix; uncoated inserts measure migration, while coated inserts require cells to cross an ECM barrier before reaching the underside of the membrane.
