• Fewer animal experiments thanks to nanosensors
  

  Countless mice, rats and rabbits die every year in the name of science – and the situation is getting worse. While German laboratories used some 2.41 million animals for scientific research in 2005, by 2009 this number had grown to 2.79 million. One third were destined for fundamental biology resear more

• Efficient Reverse Transfection of Both siRNA and Expression Plasmids on Transfected Cell Microarrays Using X-tremeGENE siRNA Transfection Reagent
  

  Transfected cell microarray is a versatile, efficient, and cost-reducing technology [1,3,4] that can contribute to further understanding of gene functions and regulatory mechanisms governing gene expression. We have optimized the protocol of transfected cell microarrays using X-tremeGENE siRNA Transfection Reagent to transfect both expression plasmids and siRNAs, and have shown that this technology can be used to reliably detect even quantitatively minor biological effects of gene perturbations by including several technical and experimental replicates and using linear regression (ANOVA) modeling to estimate the biological effects [2] more

• Structural and Chemical 3D Imaging with AFM and Raman.
  

  In the Life Sciences and Bio-medical Research, the characterization of chemical compounds within cells or tissues is one of the most important and difficult tasks for researchers to perform. The development of pharmaceuticals such as drug delivery coatings or capsules also requires as much information as possible about their chemical and structural compositions. For the fields of nanotechnology and materials science, a thorough knowledge of the samples' surface morphology on a sub-micron scale is essential more

• Confocal Detection of NBT/BCIP In Situ Hybridization
  

  Confocal laser scanning reflection microscopy (CLSM) in combination with whole-mount in situ hybridization (WMISH) is a novel method to visualize gene expression patterns in three dimensions in whole embryos. The method uses conventional NBT/BCIP precipitation by alkaline phosphatase in WMISH samples and confocal detection by reflection microscopy. WMISH protocols can also be combined with fluorescent counterstainings such as DAPI, antibodies, GFP lines, and fluorescent in situ probes. Such double and triple labeling combined with confocal microscopy allows expression profiling at a cellular resolution in cell types or embryological structures of interest. Whole-mount reflection CLSM will thus greatly facilitate large-scale, cellular resolution expression profiling in vertebrate and invertebrate model organisms. more

• Rare contacts between synapses and microglial processes containing high levels of Iba1 and actin – a postembedding immunogold study in the healthy rat brain

  Abstract Although microglia is recognised as the cell‐mediating innate immunity in the brain, emerging evidence suggests a role of microglia in synaptic communication and modulation. The ability of microglia to move in the neuropil and contact synapses is crucial for such a function. However, th more
