Primary hepatocytes are a vital tool in various biomedical research disciplines, serving as an ex vivo model for liver physiology. Obtaining high yields of viable primary mouse hepatocytes is technically challenging, limiting their use. Here, we present an improved protocol based on the classic two-step collagenase perfusion technique. The liver is washed by perfusion, hepatocytes…

The assessment of macrophage function has been a topic of intense discussion due to multiple subtypes. This protocol describes the collection of bone marrow cells from the femur and tibia of mice, differentiation into bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM cells), and sampling from cultures. This protocol focuses on the efficient preparation of BMDM cells, providing a…
Mitochondria play pivotal roles in cellular energy metabolism. Most of the intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is generated by mitochondrial respiration. The Cell Mito Stress Test is a common method to measure the key parameters of mitochondrial respiration. Here, we use the human cell line HK-2 as an example to present the procedures to quantify the…
In Caenorhabditis elegans, targeted genome editing techniques are now routinely used to generate germline edits. The remarkable ease of C. elegans germline editing is attributed to the syncytial nature of the pachytene ovary which is easily accessed by microinjection. This protocol describes the step-by-step details and troubleshooting tips for the entire CRISPR-Cas genome editing procedure,…
This protocol describes the isolation, handling, culture of, and experiments with human colon stem cell organoids in the context of cystic fibrosis (CF). In human colon organoids, the function of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein and its rescue by CFTR modulators can be quantified using the forskolin-induced swelling assay. Implementation procedures and validation…
