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…
Revealing Neuronal Migration’s Molecular Secrets
Different approaches can be used to investigate neuronal migration to their niche in the developing brain. In this webinar, experts from The University of Oxford present the microscopy tools and…
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…
