Live-Cell Imaging Techniques
The understanding of complex and/or fast cellular dynamics is an important step for exploring biological processes. Therefore, today’s life science research is increasingly focused on dynamic…Read article
Brain-Tumor-Microenvironment Study in Motion
In the present study, we show, in an in vivo longitudinal study, that the Slit-Robo pathway is critical for immunosuppressive myeloid cell accumulation in Glioblastoma. Genetic Slit2 depletion in…Read 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…Read article
Following Ca²⁺ Changes in Acutely Stimulated Spheroids
Spheroids are easy and cost-effective 3D cell cultures, useful for fundamental and applied research. They can bridge the gap between 2D and in vivo experiments and can be used for high-throughput…Read article
Improvement of Imaging Techniques to Understand Organelle Membrane Cell Dynamics
Understanding cell functions in normal and tumorous tissue is a key factor in advancing research of potential treatment strategies and understanding why some treatments might fail. Single-cell…Read article
How to prepare samples for Stimulated Raman Scattering
Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) is an emerging microscopy technique that images the vibrations of chemical bonds within a specimen. It allows researchers to probe the endogenous chemistry or…Read article
Step by Step Guide to the Molecular Basics of CARS Microscopy
CARS (Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering) microscopy is a dye-free method which images structures by displaying the characteristic intrinsic vibrational contrast of their molecules. The crucial…Read article
New Light Shed on the Nanodomain Organization of the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a continuous membrane organelle in charge of protein synthesis, lipid synthesis and detoxification. The ER structure is described in terms of smooth peripheral…Read article
Imaging Intracellular Temperature using Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM)
This video shows the presentation of Dr. Kohki Okabe given at the 9th Congress of the Federation of Asian and Oceanian Physiological Society (FAOPS) held in Kobe, Japan on 30 March 2019. Dr. Okabe…Read article
Development of fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) and its relevance for functional imaging
Prof. Ammasi Periasamy, Director, Keck Center for Cellular Imaging, University of Virginia, was interviewed by Dr. Giulia Ossato, Product Manager functional imaging, during Leica Microsystems Meets…Read article
Extending Nanoscopy Possibilities with STED and exchangeable fluorophores
When it comes to STED Nanoscopy, keeping high signal-to-noise is key to achieve the best possible resolution in fixed and living cells. This can be challenging in the case of experiments in 3D and/or…Read article
Kaggle Competition for Multi-label Classification of Cell Organelles in Proteome Scale Human Protein Atlas Data
The Cell Atlas, a part of the Human Protein Atlas, was created by the group of Prof. Emma Lundberg at the SciLifeLab, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, in Stockholm, Sweden. Currently, she is a…Read article
Live Cell Isolation by Laser Microdissection
Laser microdissection is a tool for the isolation of homogenous cell populations from their native niches in tissues to downstream molecular assays. Beside its routine use for fixed tissue sections,…Read article
Solvent immersion imprint lithography
We expand upon our recent, fundamental report on solvent immersion imprint lithography (SIIL) and describe a semi-automated and high-performance procedure for prototyping polymer microfluidics and…Read article
Introduction to Mammalian Cell Culture
Mammalian cell culture is one of the basic pillars of life sciences. Without the ability to grow cells in the lab, the fast progress in disciplines like cell biology, immunology, or cancer research…Read article
Chronic Inflammation Under the Microscope
In the course of chronic inflammation certain body areas are recurrently inflamed. This goes along with many human diseases. With the help of widefield light microscopy, the underlying processes can…Read article
Super-Resolution Optical Microscopy of Lipid Plasma Membrane Dynamics
Plasma membrane dynamics are an important ruler of cellular activity, particularly through the interaction and diffusion dynamics of membrane-embedded proteins and lipids. FCS (fluorescence…Read article
Adeno-associated Viral Vectors do not Efficiently Target Muscle Satellite Cells
Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are becoming an important tool for gene therapy of numerous genetic and other disorders. Several recombinant AAV vectors (rAAV) have the ability to transduce…Read article
