The electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) is a biochemical procedure used to elucidate binding between proteins and nucleic acids. In this assay a radiolabeled nucleic acid and test protein are mixed. Binding is determined via gel electrophoresis which separates components based on mass, charge, and conformation. This video shows the concepts of EMSA and a general procedure, including gel and protein preparation, binding, electrophoresis, and detection. Applications covered in this video...

Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is an interesting complement to mass spectrometry for the characterization of biomolecules, notably because it is sensitive to isomerism. This protocol describes a tandem IMS (IMS/IMS) experiment, which allows the isolation of a molecule and the generation of the mobility profiles of its fragments.

Neural Activity Propagation in an Unfolded Hippocampal Preparation with a Penetrating Micro-electrode Array

We have developed an in vitro unfolded hippocampus which preserves CA1-CA3 array of neurons. Combined with the penetrating micro-electrode array, neural activity can be monitored in both the longitudinal and transverse orientations. This method provides advantages over hippocampal slice preparations as the propagation in the entire hippocampus can be recorded simultaneously.
FAQs
Nerve glides and tensioners represent different ways of loading neural tissues. Glides use sequenced spine and limb movements to encourage relative neural movement, whereas tensioners apply more controlled neural loading. Clinicians select between them according to the intended mechanical effect, the patient’s symptoms, and how the tissues respond during treatment.
Mechanosensitivity describes how readily neural tissues respond to mechanical movement or loading. Assessing it helps clinicians determine whether symptoms are associated with movement-related neural or surrounding tissue dysfunction. This information guides the choice and intensity of a technique, allowing treatment to remain responsive rather than applying the same movement sequence to every patient.
Range, movement speed, and loading all influence how neural mobilization is experienced. These variables can be adjusted while the clinician observes symptoms and tissue response. Careful modification helps keep the technique within an appropriate level of mechanical challenge and supports more precise assessment of whether restricted mobility or movement-related pain changes during the session.
Neural mobilization coordinates movements of the spine and limbs rather than treating each region in isolation. The sequence determines whether the technique emphasizes neural gliding or controlled tension. Precise sequencing is therefore important for producing the intended mechanical effect and for interpreting a patient’s response when assessing peripheral nerve function.
A typical approach begins with assessing symptoms, movement-related responses, and possible mechanosensitivity. The clinician then selects a nerve glide or tensioner and performs a carefully sequenced spine and limb movement. Range, speed, and loading are adjusted continuously according to symptoms and tissue response, with ongoing monitoring guiding progression or modification.
The technique is relevant when musculoskeletal symptoms include movement-related pain, restricted mobility, or suspected dysfunction involving neural and surrounding tissues. In musculoskeletal medicine and rehabilitation, it can contribute both to clinical assessment and to treatment planning. Its use is most appropriate when patient selection, technical precision, and symptom monitoring support the intended goal.
Changes observed during a carefully controlled movement sequence can help clinicians evaluate mechanosensitivity and the mechanical behavior of peripheral nerves and nearby tissues. The response may also clarify whether movement-related symptoms or restricted mobility change with neural loading. This information supports clinical reasoning, but interpretation depends on technique accuracy and continued symptom monitoring.
