Calcium (Ca2+) imaging is a method for visualizing the local concentration of calcium in cells or tissues. It relies on fluorescent indicators, including small chemical indicators and genetically ...

However, it has been difficult to use this strategy to record from many cells simultaneously. Scientists have also used fluorescent calcium imaging to measure neural activity. Here, calcium probes, ...

Using high-resolution imaging, the researchers discovered that dendrites also contain a form of junctophilin that controls contact sites between their ER and plasma membrane. Further, the team found ...

We also use sophisticated mouse genetic models, in vivo whole-cell recordings, two-photon calcium imaging, and behavioral assays to dissect the functional roles of each cell type in the information ...

To test this, the researchers combined calcium recordings with optogenetic tools that allowed them to stimulate changes in membrane potential by shining blue light on the cells. 3 “Live imaging and ...

Functional subpopulations of β-cells emerge to control pulsative insulin secretion in the pancreatic islets of mice through calcium oscillations.

New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...

CT imaging of patients entering lung cancer treatment identified a high prevalence of atherosclerosis, according to data ...

AJ Hospital & Research Centre, Mangaluru, has successfully completed a rare and advanced PET-CT scan (Gallium-68 Trivehexin) ...
