Systematic assays suitable for use with peptide arrays are described in this protocol to evaluate biological activities associated with host defense peptides (HDPs), such as biofilm inhibition and/or immunomodulatory properties.

Our group is interested in understanding how environmental and cell-autonomous factors drive macrophage function throughout development and adulthood. Here, we present a nuclei isolation protocol for the epigenomic interrogation of multiple cell type populations in the human and rodent brain.

An optical Brillouin microscope can quantify the mechanical properties of biological materials in 3D.
