See-Through Technology for Biological Tissue: 3-Dimensional Visualization of Macromolecules

چکیده
Tissue clearing technology is currently one of the fastest growing fields in biomedical sciences. Tissue clearing techniques have become a powerful approach to understand further the structural information of intact biological tissues. Moreover, technological improvements in tissue clearing and optics allowed the visualization of neural network in the whole brain tissue with subcellular resolution. Here, we described an overview of various tissue-clearing techniques, with focus on the tissue-hydrogel mediated clearing methods, and discussed the main advantages and limitations of transparent tissue for clinical diagnosis.

A Novel Toolbox for Generating Realistic Biological Cell Geometries for Electromagnetic Microdosimetry
Researchers in bioelectromagnetics often require realistic tissue, cellular and sub-cellular geometry models for their simulations. However, biological shapes are often extremely irregular, while conventional geometrical modeling tools on the market cannot meet the demand for fast and efficient construction of irregular geometries. We have designed a free, user-friendly tool in MATLAB that comb...

متن کاملVisualizing viral assemblies in a nanoscale biosphere 3
We present a novel microfluidic platform to examine biological assemblies at high-resolution. We have engineered a functionalized chamber that serves as a ‘‘nanoscale biosphere’’ to capture and maintain rotavirus double-layered particles (DLPs) in a liquid environment. The chamber can be inserted into the column of a transmission electron microscope while being completely isolated from the vacu...
متن کاملFabrication and Characterization of Polycaprolactone – Zeolite Y Nanocomposite for Bone Tissue Engineering
In recent years, nanoceramics have been used in scaffolds to emulate the nanocomposite with a three-dimensional structure of natural bone tissue. In this regard, polycaprolactone biopolymer is widely used as a scaffold in bone tissue engineering. The goal of this research is to produce porous scaffolds of polycaprolactone - zeolite biocomposite with suitable mechanical, bioactive and biological...
