Synthetic Condensates and Cell-Like Architectures from Amphiphilic DNA Nanostructures

1.4K
We present a protocol for preparing synthetic biomolecular condensates consisting of amphiphilic DNA nanostars starting from their constituent DNA oligonucleotides. Condensates are produced from either a single nanostar component or two components and are modified to sustain in vitro transcription of RNA from an embedded DNA template.

Culturing of Human Nasal Epithelial Cells at the Air Liquid Interface

38.1K
Nasal epithelial cells, obtained through superficial scrape biopsy of human volunteers, are expanded and transferred onto tissue culture inserts. Upon reaching confluency, cells are grown at air liquid interface, yielding cultures of ciliated and non-ciliated cells. Differentiated nasal epithelial cell cultures provide viable experimental models for studying the respiratory...
