Human chondrocytes accumulate an ECM-rich matrix by secreting matrix macromolecules during monolayer culture, which makes them difficult to transfect efficiently. Here we report a non-viral based protocol to transfect the primary human chondrocytes…
Studies of gene expression from bone, cartilage, and other tissues are complicated by the fact that their RNA, collected and pooled for analysis, often represents a wide variety of composite cells distinct in individual phenotype, age, and state of…
Cellular availability of acetyl-CoA, a central intermediate of metabolism, regulates histone acetylation. The impact of a high-fat diet (HFD) on the turnover rates of acetyl-CoA and acetylated histones is unknown. We developed a method for …
