Deep Visual Proteomics Provides Precise Spatial Proteomic Information
Despite the availability of imaging methods and mass spectroscopy for spatial proteomics, a key challenge that remains is correlating images with single-cell resolution to protein-abundance…
Spatial Analysis of Neuroimmune Interactions in Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by neurofibrillary tangles, β-amyloid plaques, and neuroinflammation. These dysfunctions trigger or are exacerbated by…
Probing Human Alzheimer's Cortical Section using Spatial Multiplexing
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease and is characterized by the progressive decline of cognitive function. Spatial profiling of AD brain may reveal cellular…
Neuron Isolation in Spatial Context with Laser Microdissection (LMD)
After Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disease. Before the first symptoms manifest, up to 70% of dopamine-releasing neurons in the mid-brain…
How did Laser Microdissection enable Pioneering Neuroscience Research?
Dr. Marta Paterlini, a Senior Scientist at the Karolinska Institute, shares her experience of using laser microdissection (LMD) in groundbreaking research into adult human neurogenesis and offers…
Rapid Check of Live Stem Cells in Cell-Culture Inserts set in Multi-Well Plates
See how efficient imaging of live iPSC stem cells within cell-culture inserts set in a multi-well plate can be done to evaluate the cells using a THUNDER Imager. Just read this article.
Coherent Raman Scattering Microscopy Publication List
CRS (Coherent Raman Scattering) microscopy is an umbrella term for label-free methods that image biological structures by exploiting the characteristic, intrinsic vibrational contrast of their…
What are the Challenges in Neuroscience Microscopy?
eBook outlining the visualization of the nervous system using different types of microscopy techniques and methods to address questions in neuroscience.
AI Microscopy Enables the Efficient Detection of Rare Events
Localization and selective imaging of rare events is key for the investigation of many processes in biological samples. Yet, due to time constraints and complexity, some experiments are not feasible…
