This important study characterizes and validates a new activity marker - fast labelling of engram neurons (FLEN) - which is transiently active and driven by cFos, allowing the monitoring of intrinsic ...

Confocal microscopy is an optical imaging technique that scans a focused point of light around a sample to reconstruct an image in a point-by-point manner. A pinhole is used in the detection path ...

In the fall of 2014, a new Leica SP8 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope came on line which was funded by a NSF-MRI grant to Larissa Williams, Matt Cote, Nancy Kleckner, and Travis Gould. As part of a ...

Today will see patchy cloud and bright interludes throughout the day. Remaining largely dry, settled and chilly. Tonight Tonight, thicker cloud will gradually move in from the west. It will remain ...

The cells were stained with 500 nM MitoTracker Green (MTG) (Invitrogen) for 45 min at 37°C. Images were captured using the Leica TCS SP8 confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems). Astrocytes were ...

Plants mobilize the endomembrane system for restoring homeostasis when stimulated by stresses. Though the function of ufmylation in ER stress and autophagy has been described in mammals, their ...

WKU has acquired a suite of advanced microscopes like the Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscope (SEM), Large Chamber – Scanning Electron Microscope (LC-SEM), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and ...

Electrical synaptic transmission relies on neuronal gap junctions containing channels constructed by Connexins. While at chemical synapses neurotransmitter-gated ion channels are critically supported ...

Approximately 50 cells in meta-phase in each treatment were analyzed with a Leica SP8 confocal microscope, and the percentages (%) of fragile telomeres (signal of telomeres on chromosomes that break ...
