Human fetal whole body post-mortem microfocus computed tomographic imaging
Pregnancy loss is a devastating event and whilst conventional autopsy techniques can provide parents with answers as to the cause of their loss, many decline due to its invasive nature. We describe micro-CT as an alternative to conventional autopsy and why this is more acceptable to parents.
Screening Host Defense Peptide Libraries for Antibiofilm and/or Immunomodulatory Activities
Systematic assays suitable for use with peptide arrays are described in this protocol to evaluate biological activities associated with host defense peptides (HDPs), such as biofilm inhibition and/or immunomodulatory properties.
Equip your microscope with a mechanical imaging module
An optical Brillouin microscope can quantify the mechanical properties of biological materials in 3D.
