Microflow system for the formation, culture and fluorescence imaging of three-dimensional aggregates of pancreatic islet cells

As the incidence of type 2 diabetes increases, so does the number of studies on pancreatic islets, those responsible for insulin secretion. These pancreatic islands, also called islets of Langerhans, have a well-defined size, shape content, and distribution of pancreatic cell subtypes. Differences in pancreatic islet morphology may result in differences in insulin secretion. The representation of normal island morphology in a research model is the most important point in diabetes-related ...

Device for imaging transparent objects

Tissue optical clearing is a method that renders it transparent, thus allows for the unobstructed penetration of the laser light through the entire specimen. In practice, it opens new avenue for ...
