Limits of Vibrating Microtomy [PDF]
The Vibratome, or vibrating microtome allows sectioning of the mouse brain with a reliably established thickness from 50 µm, but they have a strong limitation on the size of the sample suitable for cutting. Herein is described the construction with publicly available element base (from parts for a 3D printer) a so-called 3D-vibrating microtome capable ...

Colorectal cancer biofilm composition reveals distinct bacterial species signature [PDF]
Human colon hosts a highly organized protective microbial ecosystem in the form of biofilms, increasingly recognized as key contributors to colorectal cancer (CRC) progression through microbial dysbiosis and complex host-microbiota interactions. In India,

Taxonomic relevance of petiole anatomical and micro-morphological characteristics of Clematis L. (Ranunculaceae) taxa from South Korea [PDF]
We assessed the micro-morphological and anatomical structures of the petioles of 19 Clematis taxa from South Korea. The petiole surface features were observed with the help of stereomicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and the anatomical features
