Imaging scientists have a critical educational role in improving rigor and reproducibility by sharing their technical expertise and providing intellectual contributions in all aspects of image-based science.

They participate in creating, developing, and disseminating guidelines, resources, and tools to improve image-based research.

In this episode, learn what impacts reproducibility in microscopy, discover resources and initiatives for improving education, rigor, and reproducibility, and see how collaboration drives innovation.

Immunoassays play an indispensable role in scientific research. They facilitate the detection and quantification of specific analytes, enabling in-depth investigations into disease mechanisms, biomarker discovery, and evaluation of the potential of therapeutic interventions.

Sample selection and preparation are of utmost importance, as they have a direct impact on the accuracy, reliability, and integrity of the obtained results.

Properly selecting and preparing samples ensures that they are representative of the population under study and that the analytes of interest are preserved in their native state.

In addition, controlling and mitigating matrix interference is crucial in immunoassays to minimize the influence of sample components that may hinder the accuracy of measurements.

In this episode, hear from immunoassay experts as they guide you through all these areas.

The brain is an immune-privileged organ, meaning it is protected from the entry of pathogens, blood circulating factors, and immune cells by a physical barrier called the blood-brain barrier (BBB).

But pathological events such as ischemia (stroke), trauma (traumatic brain injury), or tumor growth (gliomas and brain metastasis), activate the vascular endothelium, disturb or disrupt the BBB and allow immune cell homing.

In this episode, discover how innate immunity can sustain deleterious effects following brain trauma, and the technological developments enabling longitudinal studies into post-trauma lesion remodeling.
