Introduction The BALB/C mouse is a widely used inbred strain in biomedical research, particularly in the fields of immunology, cancer research, and genetics. Among the various tissues studied, the kidney holds significant importance due to its complex structure and multifaceted role in physiological functions. A formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) block of the BALB/C mouse kidney serves as an ...
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) are two powerful techniques widely used in biological and medical research. While each has its strengths, the combination of these methods—ImmunoFISH—offers a unique and comprehensive approach to investigation at the cellular and tissue levels. Understanding the Techniques FISH is primarily utilized for detecting ...
Research in the field of pulmonary biology often requires detailed analysis of lung tissues. One of the optimal methods for studying lung structures and functions in mice is the use of C57 mouse models, specifically through the preparation of frozen sections. This technique is vital for a variety of applications, including histological studies, immunohistochemistry, and molecular analysis. Why ...
Discover how matched tumor-normal sequencing can help clinical researchers detect the somatic origin of variants with certainty. In the era of precision oncology, it has become increasingly common for patients diagnosed with cancer to undergo tumor sequencing. Identifying the mutations that make up a tumor’s genomic landscape can help guide selection of targeted therapies and inform ...
The T cell antigen receptor (TCR) is a characteristic marker of T cells, playing a crucial role in the immune system. Each T cell typically expresses a specific TCR, which has a unique structure and sequence that can recognize different antigens, including bacteria, viruses, tumor cells, and other pathogens. Once the TCR binds to the antigen, the T cell initiates an immune response, generating ...
Protein Ubiquitination is a crucial cellular biological process. It involves the binding of Ubiquitin protein to the target protein, thereby regulating the degradation, positioning, activation, etc., of the target protein. To detect protein ubiquitination, methods such as Immunoprecipitation (IP) combined with Western blot, mass spectrometry analysis, etc., are commonly used. Here are the typical ...
Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) is an experimental technique used to detect the interaction between a protein and other proteins. When it comes to detecting protein ubiquitination, Co-IP can be used to determine whether the target protein is ubiquitinated, and its interaction with ubiquitin protein.Analysis Workflow1. Sample PreparationCollect cellular or tissue samples, and lyse the cells with ...
Collagen is a primary structural protein in various tissues, especially in the skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments. The detection of collagen content can assist in evaluating the progression or treatment effectiveness of certain diseases, as well as assessing the quality of cosmetics and food. Methods for Detecting Collagen Content 1. Hydroxyproline Assay (1) Collagen is one of the few proteins ...
Metabolomics is developing rapidly. In medical science research, it is hoped that analysis to identify abnormal metabolic pathways and characteristic biomarkers closely related to diseases will provide a basis for further elucidation of disease pathogenesis. Metabolomics Research Methods Metabolomics collects samples through established metabolomics research methods, and subsequently uses ...
An article on the rapid identification of pediatric brain tumors using DMS was published in Frontiers in Oncology, section Neuro-Oncology and Neurosurgical Oncology! The results show that most common pediatric brain tumor samples can be differentiated with DMS. DMS shows promise in becoming and additional instrument for real-time diagnosis of brain tumors. (The header image for this post ...
Rare diseases are characterized by their low prevalence, affecting a small number of people across the world. These diseases often come with significant challenges, including accurate diagnosis, availability of effective treatments, and limited resources for research and development. However, recent advancements in diagnostics technology hold promise for speeding up the field of rare disease ...
Native Porcine Pancreatin, an enzymatic mixture derived from the porcine pancreas, has emerged as a fundamental component in various industries due to its unique enzymatic composition. Comprising amylase, lipase, and protease enzymes, this preparation is celebrated for its multifaceted applications and plays an indispensable role in the pharmaceutical, food, and biotechnology sectors. In this ...
Pathology as it is practiced today in labs around the world is not all that different from the pathology of the 19th century. The microscope has changed relatively little since then, and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained slides remain the bread and butter of the pathologist. Yet it is not for lack of technological development; in recent years, digital pathology whole slide scanners, digital ...
Since the 19th century, the practice of tissue processing has remained largely unchanged, resulting in solidified, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks for sectioning. As staining procedures have advanced and immunohistochemistry is becoming more widely used, high-quality tissue sections are paramount for accurate interpretation of disease ...
Abstract Lung cancer mortality remains high even after successful resection. Adjuvant treatment benefits stage II and III patients, but not stage I patients, and most studies fail to predict recurrence in stage I patients. Our study included 211 lung adenocarcinoma patients (stages I–IIIA; 81% stage I) who received curative resections at Taipei Veterans General Hospital between January ...
Abstract Cellular function in tissue is dependent on the local environment, requiring new methods for spatial mapping of biomolecules and cells in the tissue context1. The emergence of spatial transcriptomics has enabled genome-scale gene expression mapping2,3,4,5, but the ability to capture spatial epigenetic information of tissue at the cellular level and genome scale is lacking. Here we ...
Data from 144 tissue samples in the feasibility study demonstrated that SubB2M immunohistochemistry detected melanoma with 91% sensitivity and discriminated between malignant melanoma and benign skin lesions. SubB2M-based immunohistochemistry applications represent a new product opportunity for SubB2M in the $1.9b immunohistochemistry market. INOVIQ Ltd (ASX:IIQ) has successfully completed ...
Welcome to Edinburgh Instruments newest blog celebrating our work in Raman, Photoluminescence, and Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging. Every month we will highlight our pick for Map of the Month to show how our spectrometers can be used to reveal all the hidden secrets in your samples. April Studying animal tissue is an important tool for scientists to learn more about the effects of treatments for ...
Pathologists conduct a biopsy on a tissue when a carcinoma case for a patient is suspected. They stain the cells on that tissue using some biochemical materials that react with a certain cell element. They put stained cells onto a slide and examine the cells by using an optical microscope device. In our case, we will focus on H&E stained breast tissue samples. Pathologists keep track of a ...
