Oocyte and embryo culture under oil profoundly alters effective concentrations of small molecule inhibitors

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Culture of oocytes and embryos in media under oil is a cornerstone of fertility treatment, and extensively employed in experimental investigation of early mammalian development. It has been noted anecdotally by some that certain small molecule inhibitors

Human hair in contemporary art: conservation issues and solutions

CeROArt : Conservation, Exposition, Restauration d'Objets d'Art, 2017
This study explores the use of human hair in contemporary art threw several artworks from the Belgian artist Hélène de Gottal. She employs the traditional techniques used by spindle lace makers, as well as hairspray, to create masks using her face as a ...

A common misunderstanding in lung ultrasound: the comet tail artefact.

Medical ultrasonography, 2018
The comet tail artefact is probably one of the most commonly and imprecisely used to describe vertical artefacts found in lung ultrasound. Two distinct artefacts are commonly observed: the lung comets and the B-lines. Both artefacts differ with regard to

A light‐triggered Time‐Resolved X‐ray Solution Scattering (TR‐XSS) workflow with application to protein conformational dynamics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...

Pupil size affects measures of eye position in video eye tracking: implications for recording vergence accuracy

Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2016
Video eye trackers rely on the position of the pupil centre. However, the pupil centre can shift when the pupil size changes. This pupillary artifact is investigated for binocular vergence accuracy (i.e. fixation disparity) in near vision where the pupil

Affordances of Historic Urban Landscapes: an Ecological Understanding of Human Interaction with the Past [PDF]

, 2014
Heritage has been defined differently in European contexts. Despite differences, a common challenge for historic urban landscape management is the integration of tangible and intangible heritage. Integration demands an active view of perception and human-

The Relationship Between Inflammation and Central Nervous System in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune demyelination disease that is seen especially in the young population and has a progressive course, causing motor, sensory, and cognitive deficits. In the literature, the pathogenesis of MS disease and the interconnection between the immune and central nervous system in the disease have not been fully ...

Unique Molecular Identifiers reveal a novel sequencing artefact with implications for RNA-Seq based gene expression analysis

Scientific Reports, 2018
Attaching Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMI) to RNA molecules in the first step of sequencing library preparation establishes a distinct identity for each input molecule. This makes it possible to eliminate the effects of PCR amplification bias, which is

Lessons Learned: Quality Analysis of Optical Coherence Tomography in Neuromyelitis Optica

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Optical coherence tomography (OCT)‐derived retina measurements are markers for neuroaxonal visual pathway status. High‐quality OCT scans are essential for reliable measurements, but their acquisition is particularly challenging in eyes with severe visual impairment, as often observed in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders ...
