Caught on Camera

We, like all complex animals, begin to take shape in a hive of cellular industry called the embryo. As development progresses, cells in different regions of the embryo take on special roles and eventually become our tissues, organs and limbs. The video shows the embryo of a fruit fly (Drosophila) developing into a larva. Taken with Multi-View Selective-Plane Illumination Microscopy (MuVi-SPIM), this new technique involves shining a thin sheet of light on the embryo and quickly taking four images of the embryo from different angles. Combining the images to give one 3D view shows every cell’s movements within the embryo, helping scientists better understand exactly how organisms develop.

Going Digital: A New Approach to Disease Research

Droplet digital PCR technology has emerged as a leader in offering precision, sensitivity and accuracy for rare target DNA detection.

Basic research and clinical microbiology labs rely on real-time PCR (qPCR) for its speed, sensitivity, specificity and ease-of-use. Common applications include gene expression analysis, mutation detection and identification of copy number variation to better understand inherited disorders, cancer and infectious disease.

What Processed Food Looks Like During Digestion … Oh YUCK.

If a Happy Meal can sit out for six months and not go bad, then it’s not surprising that processed foods can look pretty bad going through your digestive tract. Using a pill-sized remote comera, Stefani Bardin tracked processed versus perishable food through the caverns of digestion.

Enjoy. Just not while you’re eating.
