Technical Note: High-content imaging of brain-on-chip microfluidic devices using PreciScan intelligent acquisition.
Brain-on-chips (BoC) are innovative tools that simulate complex brain environments, enhancing our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). While a range of BoC platforms have been developed to model diverse NDD pathophysiologies, the various channel architectures of these microfluidic devices present challenges in image acquisition and analysis. High-content imaging protocols must be adaptable to these differing designs. This Technical Note, developed by Revvity in collaboration with ETAP-Lab, demonstrates an automated image acquisition protocol for BoC microfluidic devices. The protocol utilizes the Operetta
Exciting research publication from our cardiology lab SYNCROSOME as co-author
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global mortality. That's why we are proud to share a groundbreaking study titled "Urolithin A provides cardioprotection and mitochondrial quality enhancement preclinically and improves human cardiovascular health biomarkers". Liu, Sophia et al. iScience, Volume 28, Issue 2, 111814 This study highlights the potential of Urolithin A (UA), a post-biotic and mitophagy activator, to improve heart health by addressing mitochondrial dysfunctions. Preclinical model results show reduced cardiac dysfunction, while human trials indicate significant reductions
A signifiant milestone for our publication on Nutrients journal
We wanted to highlight on our recent article on our psychopharmacology research "The Anxiolytic-like Properties of a Tryptic Hydrolysate of Bovine αs1 Casein Containing α-Casozepine Rely on GABAA Receptor Benzodiazepine Binding Sites but Not the Vagus Nerve" that has reached over 3000 views in MDPI Nutrients journal! The published data on the anxiolytic-like properties of bovine αs1-casein (CH) support that: α-casozepine is responsive for the anxiolytic-like effects of the alpha-s1-casein tryptic hydrolysate (CH). CH anxiolytic-like effects are not mediated by the

Improving Stroke Outcomes in Hyperglycemic Mice by Modulating tPA/NMDAR Signaling to Reduce Inflammation and Hemorrhages
The pharmacological intervention for ischemic stroke hinges on intravenous administration of the recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA, Alteplase/Actilyse®) either as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with thrombectomy. However, despite its clinical significance, broader employment of rtPA is constrained due to the risk of hemorrhagic transformations (HTs). Furthermore, the presence of diabetes or chronic hyperglycemia is associated with an elevated risk of HT subsequent to thrombolysis. This detrimental impact of tPA on the neurovascular unit in hyperglycemic patients has been
