Pre-clinical Imaging Core Highlight

Congratulations to Drs. Ran Liu, Shaohua Yang, and Bibek Thapa for publishing a paper using Pre-clinical Imaging Core resources and expertise.

The paper "Experimental Ischemic Stroke Induces Secondary Bihemispheric White Matter Degeneration and Long-Term Cognitive Impairment," published in "Translational Stroke Research," mirrors clinical observations of post-stroke cognitive deficits and bilateral white matter degeneration. These findings provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying secondary damage and cognitive decline following ischemic stroke. More about the paper here.

Microscopy Core upgrades Keyence BZ-X800 with a new Cy3 filter cube for enhanced imaging capabilities

Microscopy Core has updated its Keyence BZ-X800 microscope with a new Cy3/TRITC filter cube, adding to its existing options of DAPI, EGFP (FITC/Cy2), mCherry/TX-Red, and Cy5. This upgrade will provide researchers with greater flexibility in their imaging capabilities and allow for more precise and accurate visualization of samples labeled with the Cy3/TRITC fluorophore. With five filter cube options, the Keyence microscope is now even more versatile and capable of meeting a wider range of research needs.
