A Guide to C. elegans Research – Working with Nematodes
Efficient microscopy techniques for C. elegans research are outlined in this guide. As a widely used model organism with about 70% gene homology to humans, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (also…
How a Breakthrough in Spatial Proteomics Saved Lives
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare but devastating reaction to common medications like antibiotics or gout treatments. It begins innocuously, often as a rash, but can escalate rapidly into…
A Novel Laser-Based Method for Studying Optic Nerve Regeneration
Optic nerve regeneration is a major challenge in neurobiology due to the limited self-repair capacity of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and the inconsistency of traditional injury models.…
How to Image Axon Regeneration in Deep Muscle Tissue
This study highlights Dr. Aaron Lee’s research on mapping nerve regeneration in muscle grafts post-amputation. Limb loss often leads to reduced quality of life, not only from tissue loss but also due…
Capturing Developmental Dynamics in 3D
This application note showcases how the Viventis Deep dual-view light sheet microscope was successfully used by researchers for exploring high-resolution, long-term imaging of 3D multicellular models…
A Guide to Using Microscopy for Drosophila (Fruit Fly) Research
The fruit fly, typically Drosophila melanogaster, has been used as a model organism for over a century. One reason is that many disease-related genes are shared between Drosophila and humans. It is…
Development and Derisking of CRISPR Therapies for Rare Diseases
This on-demand presentation by Dr. Fyodor Urnov and Dr. Sadik Kassim, originally delivered at ASGCT 2025, focused on a critical challenge in genetic medicine: how to scale CRISPR therapies from…
Integrated Serial Sectioning and Cryo-EM Workflows for 3D Biological Imaging
This on-demand webinar explores how integrated tools can support electron microscopy workflows from sample preparation to image analysis. Experts Andreia Pinto, Adrian Boey, and Hoyin Lai present the…
Multiplexed Imaging Reveals Tumor Immune Landscape in Colon Cancer
Cancer immunotherapy benefits few due to resistance and relapse, and combinatorial therapeutic strategies that target multiple steps of the cancer-immunity cycle may improve outcomes. This study shows…
