HEK293T cells were a gift from Dr. Dasaradhi Palakodeti, InStem. HEK293T cells were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (#21,331-020 Thermo) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (#F2442 Sigma) at 37 °C and 5% CO 2 . Cells were passaged with 0.25% trypsin solution (#15,090,046 Thermo) for 2 min and neutralized using the same culture medium. Primary neuronal cultures were obtained from E18 rat embryos. Primary cultures 1 3 were processed as previously described [10] . Briefly, cortices from both the hemispheres were dissected out from E18 embryos in ice cold Hank's balanced salt solution (#H6648-1L Sigma). The tissue was incubated with 0.25% trypsin solution for 5 min at 37 °C to enzymatically dissociate the cells and finally manually triturated in Minimum Eagles Medium (#11,095,080 Thermo) containing 10% FBS (#F2442 Sigma) to generate a single cell suspension. Cells were plated at a density of 6 × 10 4 cells/cm 2 on glass coverslips coated with 0.2 mg/ml poly-L-lysine (#P2636-100MG Sigma) made in Borate buffer pH 8.5. Neurons were cultured in MEM medium for 4 h after plating following which they were cultured in neurobasal medium (#21,103-049 Thermo) containing B27 supplement (#17,504-044 Thermo) and 1 × Glutamax (#35,050,061 Thermo) for 11 days at 37 °C and 5% CO 2.

Back skin was excised and adipose tissue was removed. The skin was placed on a layer of trypsin solution (0.25%, Life Technologies Germany) with the epidermal side facing upwards. After incubation for 2 hours, the epidermis was separated from the dermis using blunt forceps. The epidermis was minced with scalpels and digested in 10 ml trypsin solution (0.25%, Life Technologies) for another hour. The digest was stopped by adding an equal volume of medium (DMEM (2/3) + HAM`s F12 (1/3)) supplemented with 10% calcium free FBS and the cells were strained through a 40 μm nylon mesh. Cells were then centrifuged for 8 min at 500 g at RT and the pellet was resuspended in 2 ml FACS buffer. Epidermal stem cell populations were stained according to Jensen et al. [35 (link)]. For flow cytometry, cells were stained using the following antibodies: anti-CD45-FITC (1:400, eBioscience), anti-CD49f-PE (1:200, eBioscience), anti-CD34-eF660 (1:50, eBioscience), anti-Sca1-PerCP-Cy5.5 (1:200, eBioscience), anti-CD117-APC-Cy7 (1:800, Biolegend).

Microglia were prepared from neonatal rat or mouse pups at postnatal day (P) 2–3. The cortices were separated from meninges and minced with a sterile razor blade. Tissue pieces were transferred into 2.5% Trypsin solution (Life Technologies/Gibco) containing DNAse (SIGMA). After incubation at 37 °C for 25 min the Trypsin solution was removed, cortices were washed with 30% FBS in DPBS and serially triturated with 30% FBS in Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (DPBS) (Life Technologies/Gibco) containing DNAse. The cell suspension was gently spun at 200g for 15 min and the pellet resuspended in DMEM (Life Technologies/Gibco), containing 10% FBS (Life Technologies/Gibco), 100 units per millilitre penicillin and 100 mg ml−1 streptomycin (Life Technologies/Gibco). Cells were plated into poly-D-lysine pre-coated T-75 flasks at a density of 2–3 cortices per flask. On day 3 in vitro, fresh medium was added and cells were grown for 1 more day. On day 4 in vitro, flasks were placed onto a shaker platform, preheated to 37 °C and microglia cells were shaken off the cortical cell layer at 200 r.p.m. for 2 h. The medium containing mostly microglia cells was removed from the flasks and cells were spun at 200g for 15 min. The cell pellets were gently resuspended in culture medium and the microglia density was adjusted to 5000 cells per microlitre.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total collagen production by pre-osteoblasts growing on functionalized 3D scaffolds was detected by the Sirius red staining method.61 (link)–62 (link) Briefly, MC3T3 cells after 1 week of growth on 3D scaffolds were fixed by 4% PFA solution and stained by Sirius red stain solution (0.1% Direct Red 80 in saturated picric acid) for 16 hours. Stained 3D scaffolds were washed by DI water and dehydrated by 100% ethanol. After drying, the stain on 3D scaffolds was eluted by 0.2 M NaOH: methanol (v/v, 1: 1) solution for 15 min and absorbance was measured by UV-vis absorbance microplate reader at 490 nm. To normalize the collagen amount to cell numbers, another series of scaffolds were seeded with the same density of cells and cultured for 1 week under the same condition. Cells on the scaffolds were then trypsinized using 0.5% trypsin solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and counted under microscope. The relative collagen amount was calculated by normalizing the obtained OD value to the number of cells observed on each type of scaffold.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hydrophobic Dorzolamide and IMC were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). All solvents were used as received without further purification. The human dermal fibroblast cell line (HDFa) and the necessary supplies (antibiotic cocktail: penicillin and streptomycin; non-essential amino acids; trypsin solution; and foetal bovine serum—FBS) for the in vitro cytotoxicity assay were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA).
Two copolymer samples were investigated in the present study. The PCL-g-P(NVCL-co-NVP) copolymers were obtained by a grafting-from technique in three steps, as previously reported [24 (link)]. The backbone was synthesised by ring-opening copolymerisation of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) and α-chloro-ε-caprolactone (α-Cl-ε-CL). In the second step, a RAFT macroinitiator was prepared by the substitution of pendant chloro groups with a xanthate salt. Finally, RAFT-Madix copolymerisation of N-vinyl caprolactam (NVCL) with N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) was carried out. The obtained copolymers were analysed by 1H NMR (Bruker AC-400F, MA, USA) and size exclusion chromatography (Shimadzu LC-20AD liquid chromatograph, Japan), and the molecular characteristics of the two samples are provided in Table 4.
