Intravital longitudinal imaging of hepatic lipid droplet accumulation in a murine model for nonalcoholic fatty liver diseaseIntroduction:In recent years, there has been a rapidly increasing interest in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with a high prevalence in the world. NAFLD has been attributed to central obesity, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance, which suggests NAFLD
Overview: Welcome to the final 4-part series of the IVIM Intravital Microscopy. Using available models, we walked attendees through the system’s workflow as a user and provide in-depth information on setting up an animal for imaging, acquiring microscopic images using the software, and applying some post-processing techniques to obtain quantifiable results. Participants had
Overview: After introducing intravital imaging in Webinar #1 and the IVM system and its capabilities in Webinar #2, we brought you real-world examples of IVM applications in collaboration with our reference sites. We presented specific examples of how to apply the IVM system to address various research questions during this webinar. After viewing
Overview: In this second session of the IVM webinar series, we took a deeper look at the IVM all-in-one intravital microscope. The IVM system is a carefully engineered state-of-the-art intravital fluorescence microscopy platform optimized to perform real-time imaging of dynamic phenomena in in vivo tissues at a cellular level. This technique can serve
Overview: This is the first of a 4-part series introducing Scintica’s newly formed relationship with IVIM Technology and their IntraVital Microscopy platform (IVM). In this session, we introduced the fundamentals of fluorescence microscopy, review some example images, and focus on this technique's intravital imaging applications. This webinar focused on formulating a basic understanding
