The Effect of Aspirin and Ibuprofen on the Phagocytic Ability of Macrophages

Source:Adepemi O. Ogundeji1, Nozethu Mjokane1, Maphori Maliehe1, Olihile M. Sebolai11Department of Microbiology and Biochemistry, University of the Free State.This video showcases a method to assess the impact of aspirin and ibuprofen, at their minimum inhibitory concentrations, on macrophage phagocytosis using pH-sensitive fluorescent dye-stained fungal cells. The drugs inhibit cyclooxygenase-2, decreasing prostaglandin formation and boosting macrophage phagocytosis, as observed through...

Identification and Quantification of Deranged Metabolites in Critically Ill Patients Using NMR-Based Metabolomics

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is used to identify dysregulation in the metabolites in patients with various diseases. This technique allows the quantification of the deranged metabolites, unraveling the pathophysiological insights. Here, we describe the step-by-step procedure of the NMR-based approach for the metabolic characterization of the patients.

Analysis of SEC-SAXS data via EFA deconvolution and Scatter

SEC-BioSAXS measurements of biological macromolecules are a standard approach for determining solution structure of macromolecules and their complexes. Here, we analyze SEC-BioSAXS data from two types of commonly encountered SEC traces—chromatograms with fully resolved and partially resolved peaks. We demonstrate the analysis and deconvolution using scatter and BioXTAS...

Purification of Transcripts and Metabolites from Drosophila Heads

We describe here the procedures for the extraction and purification of mRNA and metabolites from Drosophila heads. We are applying these techniques to better understand the cellular perturbations underlying neuronal degeneration. These methodologies can be easily scaled and adapted for other "omic"...
