hi, I would like to plan an experiment about apoptosis and autophagy on THP-1, but I am not so sure what positive control is suitable for use as a positive control and its suitable concentration for apoptosis and autophagy.

Starve your cells for a suitable time (cause this varies according to the cell type). Starvation is gonna induce autophagy.

thanks for suggestion
I heard that as the value of "num_iter(tag in wannier 90)" is higher, spread of Wannier function(=WF) is gradually lower in wannier 90. If so, is this procedure that minimize the spread of WF...

It has been documented that apoptotic cells themselves can induce phosphorylation of serine 139 on H2AX (γH2AX) due to DNA fragmentation during apoptosis (doi: 10.1074/jbc.275.13.9390). As γH2AX...
