--- _id: '6867' abstract: - lang: eng text: A novel magnetic scratch method achieves repeatability, reproducibility and geometric control greater than pipette scratch assays and closely approximating the precision of cell exclusion assays while inducing the cell injury inherently necessary for wound healing assays. The magnetic scratch is affordable, easily implemented and standardisable and thus may contribute toward better comparability of data generated in different studies and laboratories. article_number: '12625' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: M. full_name: Fenu, M. last_name: Fenu - first_name: T. full_name: Bettermann, T. last_name: Bettermann - first_name: C. full_name: Vogl, C. last_name: Vogl - first_name: Nasser full_name: Darwish-Miranda, Nasser id: 39CD9926-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Darwish-Miranda orcid: 0000-0002-8821-8236 - first_name: J. full_name: Schramel, J. last_name: Schramel - first_name: F. full_name: Jenner, F. last_name: Jenner - first_name: I. full_name: Ribitsch, I. last_name: Ribitsch citation: ama: Fenu M, Bettermann T, Vogl C, et al.

Isolated SVs from neurons that have been genetically engineered, e.g. to introduce genetically encoded indicators, are not readily available but would permit new insights into SV structure and function. Furthermore, it is unclear if cultured neurons can provide sufficient starting material for SV isolation procedures.\r\n\r\nNew method\r\nHere, we demonstrate an efficient ex vivo procedure to obtain functional SVs from cultured rat cortical neurons after genetic engineering with a lentivirus.\r\n\r\nResults\r\nWe show that ∼108 plated cortical neurons allow isolation of suitable SV amounts for functional analysis and imaging. We found that SVs isolated from cultured neurons have neurotransmitter uptake comparable to that of SVs isolated from intact cortex. Using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, we visualized an exogenous SV-targeted marker protein and demonstrated the high efficiency of SV modification.\r\n\r\nComparison with existing methods\r\nObtaining SVs from genetically engineered neurons currently generally requires the availability of transgenic animals, which is constrained by technical (e.g. cost and time) and biological (e.g. developmental defects and lethality) limitations.\r\n\r\nConclusions\r\nThese results demonstrate the modification and isolation of functional SVs using cultured neurons and viral transduction. The ability to readily obtain SVs from genetically engineered neurons will permit linking in situ studies to in vitro experiments in a variety of genetic contexts." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: EM-Fac article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Catherine full_name: Mckenzie, Catherine id: 3EEDE19A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Mckenzie - first_name: Miroslava full_name: Spanova, Miroslava id: 44A924DC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Spanova - first_name: Alexander J full_name: Johnson, Alexander J id: 46A62C3A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Johnson orcid: 0000-0002-2739-8843 - first_name: Stephanie full_name: Kainrath, Stephanie id: 32CFBA64-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kainrath - first_name: Vanessa full_name: Zheden, Vanessa id: 39C5A68A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Zheden orcid: 0000-0002-9438-4783 - first_name: Harald H. full_name: Sitte, Harald H. last_name: Sitte - first_name: Harald L full_name: Janovjak, Harald L id: 33BA6C30-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Janovjak orcid: 0000-0002-8023-9315 citation: ama: Mckenzie C, Spanova M, Johnson AJ, et al.

Here we investigate the flow of cytoplasm during bleb formation and the concurrent changes in cell volume using zebrafish primordial germ cells (PGCs) as an in vivo model. We show that bleb inflation occurs concomitantly with cytoplasmic inflow into it and that during this process the total cell volume does not change. We thus show that bleb formation in primordial germ cells results primarily from redistribution of material within the cell rather than being driven by flow of water from an external source. article_number: e0212699 article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Mohammad full_name: Goudarzi, Mohammad id: 3384113A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Goudarzi - first_name: Aleix full_name: Boquet-Pujadas, Aleix last_name: Boquet-Pujadas - first_name: Jean Christophe full_name: Olivo-Marin, Jean Christophe last_name: Olivo-Marin - first_name: Erez full_name: Raz, Erez last_name: Raz citation: ama: Goudarzi M, Boquet-Pujadas A, Olivo-Marin JC, Raz E.
