Nanoscope’s 3D Superresolution Could Help Reveal Source of Alzheimer’s WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 17, 2018 — A superresolution nanoscope could enable 3D imaging of amyloid plaques — a characteristic feature of Alzheimer’s disease — with up to 10 times greater detail than conventional microscopes. Researchers at Purdue University combined active shaping of point spread functions and adaptive optics to enable robust 3D single-molecule switching nanoscopy (SMSN) imaging within tissues. They used the technology to image through 30-µm-thick brain sections in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. They were...
Fluorescent Fish Genes Could Help Uncover Source of a Pediatric Cancer HOUSTON, July 17, 2018 — A transgenic zebrafish that produces fluorescent tags in migratory embryonic nerve precursor cells could help lead researchers to the origins of neuroblastoma, a pediatric cancer in which malignant cells form in immature nerve tissue. Undergraduate...
