Dental Loupes vs Microscopes: Exploring Visualization Options in Dentistry

Dental professionals often ask: “Should I use dental loupes or invest in a microscope?” This article explores the key differences between dental microscopes and dental loupes, focusing on…
Low-input spatial proteomics workflow for megakaryocyte isolation from bone marrow.

Spatial Proteomics Workflow in Blood Cancer (MPNs)

Megakaryocytes play a central role in the biology of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), yet their in vivo proteomic characterization remains a major challenge due to low abundance and disrupted…

Sechs wichtige Faktoren für die Auswahl eines Dentalmikroskops

Was ist FRET mit FLIM (FLIM-FRET)?

Der Beitrag erläutert die FLIM-FRET-Methode, die Resonanzenergietransfer und Fluoreszenz-Lebensdauer-Imaging zur Untersuchung von Protein-Protein Wechselwirkungen kombiniert.
Time-lapse imaging of calcium in cells using the ratiometric calcium indicator Fura-2.

Ratiometric Imaging and Analysis of Ion Concentration in Cells

Many cellular functions depend on the dynamic balance of ions, electric potentials, and pH between the cytosol and surrounding extracellular space. Changes in these values affect cellular function.…
