by University of Calgary Live, 3-dimensional calcium (Ca2+) recordings were made in intact segments of the jejunum, proximal and distal colon in mice expressing a genetically encoded Ca2+ indicator (GCaMP6) in the enteric nervous system (ENS). In the undistended region of the colon (as well other segments), intracellular Ca2+ is low and neurons respond simultaneously to a...
by University of Minnesota A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led team has developed a new technique for imaging mRNA molecules in the brains of living mice. By genetically modifying a mouse so that it produced mRNA labeled with green fluorescent proteins (shown above), the researchers were able to see when and where the mouse’s brain...
by Ashley J. Wennersherron, Pennsylvania State University Penn State researchers developed particles that target blood clots and visualize their structures well compared to traditional ultrasound imaging. These images show blood flowing from left to right: The top image does not have the particles, while the bottom one does.
