스트레스 과립 (SGS는) 실속 리보 입자 (RNP들), 각종 스트레스에 대한 세포 반응에 중요한 포함하는 세포질 RNA 과립이다. SG를 역학 스트레스 후 형질 일차 전지에있는 SG를의 태그 구성 요소의 현지화를 시각화하여 살아있는 세포에 따라 할 수있다.

다음 실험의 전반적인 목표는 일차 세포에서 리보핵단백질 과립의 역학, 특히 스트레스 과립의 형성을 연구하는 것입니다. 이는 먼저 관심 동물의 마우스, 배아, 섬유아세포 또는 해마 뉴런과 같은 세포를 배양함으로써 달성됩니다. 두 번째 단계로, 응력 과립의 태그가 지정된 구성 요소를 transfection하여 시각화할 수 있도록 합니다.

다음으로, 세포는 스트레스를 유발하고 타임 랩스 컨포칼 현미경으로 모니터링합니다. 얻은 결과는 G, 3, BP, 1, 신화 또는 거울의 스트레스 과립을 포함하는 BP와 해마 뉴런의 역학을 직접 시각화를 기반으로 보여줍니다. 이러한 방법은 뉴런과 같은 세포의 스트레스 반응에 대한 주요 질문에 답하는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다.
