(December 7, 2022) Webinar: Low-Dose Lithium Supplementation Promotes Adipose Tissue Browning and Sarco(endo)plasmic Reticulum Ca2+ ATPase Uncoupling in Muscle

(December 7, 2022) Webinar: Low-Dose Lithium Supplementation Promotes Adipose Tissue Browning and Sarco(endo)plasmic Reticulum Ca2+ ATPase Uncoupling in Muscle

Key Points: Lithium inhibits GSK3 and lowers SERCA’s transport efficiency in C2C2 cells Lithium inhibits GSK3 and increases UCP1 content in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes Lithium supplementation does not alter body mass despite increased food intake in chow and HFD-fed mice Lithium supplementation promotes SERCA uncoupling in chow-fed and high-fat-fed mice Overview: Sarco(endo)plasmic

(November 30, 2022) Webinar: Molecular Mechanisms Behind Lameness in Meat Chickens – Alterations to Bone Homeostasis and Bacterial Immune Responses

(November 30, 2022) Webinar: Molecular Mechanisms Behind Lameness in Meat Chickens – Alterations to Bone Homeostasis and Bacterial Immune Responses

Key Points: Bone health in meat-type birds is essential and consequential for poultry welfare and production Bacterial infections of the long bones that lead to lameness in meat-type birds derive from dysregulation of molecular pathways at the cellular level Impaired bone health results in a systemic, pro-inflammatory state that is detectable via non-invasive

(December 7, 2022) Seminar: Real-time Intravital Microscopy (IVM) – In Vivo Cellular-level Imaging of Live Tissues and Organs

(December 7, 2022) Seminar: Real-time Intravital Microscopy (IVM) – In Vivo Cellular-level Imaging of Live Tissues and Organs

Overview: Intravital microscopy is a unique imaging technique to visualize various in vivo cellular-level dynamics such as cell trafficking, cell-to-cell or cell-to-microenvironment interactions in a live animal. Intravital imaging of cellular dynamics in a natural physiological microenvironment can provide unprecedented insights into the dynamic pathophysiology of human diseases that were impossible to obtain

Preclinical Imaging of Conscious Unrestrained Animals

Preclinical Imaging of Conscious Unrestrained Animals

Preclinical Imaging of Conscious Animals Download PDF Here Introduction Molecular imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), intravital microscopy (IVM), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are valuable tools for studying brain function in preclinical animal models. To accomplish this, animals are typically anesthetized to reduce unwanted artifacts
