Ex Vivo MicroangioCT: Advances in Microvascular Imaging

On Thursday, March 5, listen to Dr. Ruslan Hlushchuk from the Universität Bern Institute of Anatomy as he introduces a novel contrast agent that can be used to observe microvessels using microCT and distinguish them from the surrounding soft tissues.

This webinar is ideal for facility managers, contract research organizations and preclinical researchers who specialize in cardiovascular-, neurovascular-, implantology- and angiogenesis-related fields.

Live-cell imaging provides new insights into dynamic structure of mitochondria

As power plants and energy stores, mitochondria are essential components of almost all cells in plants, fungi and animals. Until now, it has been assumed that these functions underlie a static structure of mitochondrial membranes.

	Intratumoral heterogeneity linked to chemotherapy resistance in small-cell lung cancer Small cell lung cancer accounts for 14% of all lung cancers and is often rapidly resistant to chemotherapy, resulting in poor clinical outcomes.

	Multiplex Assay to Identify T-Cell Subsets and Measure Activation T cells play a critical role in adaptive immune responses, so being able to identify T cell subsets and measure activation is important.

	Using newly discovered immune cell type to fight pancreatic cancer Immunotherapy is showing great promise for treating cancer. But so far, this approach has been effective in only about 20% of all cancers. To advance those results, researchers are looking for new ways to mobilize the immune system to destroy tumors.

	Statistical modeling technique helps track tumor cell diversity Cancer cells are a wily adversary. One reason the disease outfoxes many potential treatments is because of the diversity of the cancer cell population. Researchers have found this population difficult to characterize and quantify.

	New Endothelial Cell Atlas can be used to improve treatments for many diseases New surprising knowledge on endothelial cells in a dozen different murine tissues is now available in an open access, user-friendly, database for professionals.
