Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neonatal CMs were transfected in vitro in the presence of Lipofectamine RNAiMAX transfection reagent (Life Technologies), used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were transfected with modRNA in vitro in sucrose citrate buffer consisting of 20 μL of a 0.3 g/mL solution of sucrose (15% sucrose) in nuclease-free water, 20 μL of 0.1 M citrate (pH 7; Sigma), and 20 μL of modRNA solution (various concentrations in saline), with the final volume made up to 60 μL with nuclease-free water (5% sucrose and 0.03 M citrate final concentration). The transfection mixture was injected directly (three individual injections, 20 μL each) into the myocardium at three different sites (two injections in the border zone and one at the heart apex).

Synthesis and Citrate Functionalization of Mn3O4 Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A template or surfactant-free sol-gel method was followed for the synthesis of bulk Mn3O4 NPs at room temperature and pressure21 (link). To functionalize the nanoparticles with ligand citrate, the as-prepared Mn3O4 NPs (~20 mg mL−1) were mixed extensively with citrate (Sigma, USA) solution (pH 7.0, 0.5 M) for 15 h in a cyclomixer. The time for mixing was carefully adjusted to have a nanomaterial in the size range of 4–6 nm. Non-functionalized larger NPs were removed using a syringe filter (0.22 μm).

Bacteria cells were prepared as described above and resuspended in LB media, adjusted OD600 to 0.5. Colistin (2 mg/L) or/and a metabolite (1.2, 2.5, 5, and 10 mM) were added and incubated at 37°C for 6 h or 12 h. After incubation, CFU were determined by the 10-fold serial broth microdilution method. The metabolites, including pyruvic acid, citrate, α-ketoglutaric acid, cis-aconitic acid, and (s)-malate and agmatine sulfate, were all purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and dissolved in water.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
