BioTechniques latest issue features a range of topics including quality control mechanisms in mitochondrial transplantation, RNA extraction methods from formaldehyde-fixed neuromusculoskeletal tissue, and protocols for utilizing a HeLa cell extract-derived cell-free protein synthesis system to study protein complexes and RNA viruses.
The Technology News section explores emerging technologies for recording the brain in vivo, with a focus on their potential applications for mental health research. Meanwhile, the Editorial section discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with developing individualized mitochondrial transplantation techniques for use in medicine.
In the Reports section, we find an industry perspective approach to implementing ready-to-use cells in bioassays, along with a multiparameter screen that optimizes immunoprecipitation. Additionally, there’s a report on extracting high-quality RNA from formaldehyde-fixed naturally aged neuromusculoskeletal tissues. Finally, a protocol is presented for high-throughput screening for a SARS-CoV-2 frameshifting inhibitor using a cell-free protein synthesis system.
