Atomic Force Microscopy to Study the Physical Properties of Epidermal Cells of Live Arabidopsis Roots

A method is described here to characterize the physical properties of the cell wall of epidermal cells of living Arabidopsis roots through ...

A novel protocol for the mechanical preparation of testicular cell suspensions from rodent material, avoiding enzymes and detergents, is described. The method is very simple, fast, reproducible, and renders good quality cell suspensions, which are suitable for flow sorting and RNA extraction.
