The objectives of the introductory exercise are to: (1) Review parts and function of a compound microscope; (2) Review calculation of magnification and (3) Identify uninfected erythrocytes, Plasmodium infected erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets. A differential count of the leukocytes will be ...

The range of embryo radii in pixels was provided according to the microscope acquisition parameters for each experiment independently. As output, a set of JSON files containing the information about the bounding boxes of individual embryos was generated. The Hough transform-based embryo detector can ...
From here, the ions pass through the electrolyte to the graphitic carbon negative electrode creating a lithium-carbon compound (LixC6). During fabrication the SOFC anode is deposited as a metal-oxide, typically nickel oxide, with the addition of zirconia- or ceria-based ceramic electrolyte ...
Embryonic stem (ES) cells have been proposed to be a powerful tool in the study of pancreatic disease, as well as a potential source for cell replacement therapy in the treatment of diabetes. However, data demonstrating the feasibility of using pancreatic islet-like cells differentiated from ES ...
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a mechanism that limits the exchange of substances between blood vessels and cells in the brain, and is responsible for maintaining the optimal environment for…
a closed container at 37 ± 0.5 °C for 1 h or 2 h. The sclera was then washed three times in fresh PBS to remove MN array residue. The tissue was fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin for 2 h, and was then immersed in the optimal cutting temperature (OCT) compound cryo-embedding...
Lab-on-a-chip platforms facilitate the manipulation of minute quantities of fluids, the application of precise stimuli, and the real-time observation of biological events, such as neuronal activity and behaviors, within a single, compact system, all while preserving the viability and functionality ...
%viability=A−BA×100 where A and B are the OD540 of untreated and of treated cells, respectively. The 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) was defined as the compound’s concentration (μg/mL) required for the reduction of cell viability by 50%. ...
Another embodiment of the invention is a method of screening a compound for an effect on cardiomyocytes. This involves combining the compound with the cell population of the invention, and then determining any modulatory effect resulting from the compound. This may include examination of the cells ...
