Dear reader, Leica Microsystems is pleased to send you our NeuroNews eNewsletter - a FREE resource for your laboratory. We have expanded our eNewsletter's scope to discuss advances and cutting edge science as they relate to sample preparation and small animal research. The NEW NeuroNews will keep you up to date with emerging science and the tools and techniques surrounding it. This edition includes articles on the following: • Novocastra™ Antibodies in Research & Diagnosis • Deep Tissue Imaging • Citation Review: Head Impact in Football Players • Introducin STED • and much more! Enjoy! Yours sincerely, Vickie Marshall Marketing Communications Specialist |

Brains and Brawn: Antibodies in Research and Diagnosis The increased sensitivity of immunohistochemistry (IHC) over standard Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining has established the IHC technique in the study of many diseases. Herein we describe the utility of some Novocastra™ antibodies that can be used in the study of brain and muscle diseases.

Deep Brain Surgery in Animal Research Cellular events deep in the living brain have been monitored with electrical probes, but visual observation has not been possible. The Leica Angle Two enables visual observation of cellular level events deep in the living brain. The small animal stereotaxic instrument significantly improves accuracy, and enables the operator to reach any target site in the brain from any chosen angle accurately and consistently.

Citation Review: A Late Hit for Pro Football Players The citation reviewed in this issue is a news focus review written by a Science staffer, rather than the usual research reports written by a scientist. It was chosen for its topical importance. Impact Neurotrauma is an increasingly urgent area of study. To read more this citation review and link to the original article, please Click Here | ||||

CryoJane Tape-Transfer Method for Serial Frozen Sections of Brain Cutting a frozen section with a brush or anti-roll plate can prove to be a frustrating endeavor. Sections can compress, curl, chatter, tear or fold. When finally mounted, the section can still wash off during staining. All of these complications can make true serial sectioning a difficult, if not impossible task. For tips on these and other difficult tissues, Click Here. | ||||

Introducing Impact One Head impact trauma is the leading cause of injury and death in young children. Such injury can result in a lifetime of medical care, thus putting a substantial burden on healthcare systems and healthcare costs. The prognosis and optimal treatment can be affected by many variables. Among these are force applied, area over which force was distributed, and the direction of and location of the force applied. Damage may accumulate or multiply with multiple moderate hits, or occur with the first concussive force delivered. For further information on head impact studies Read More | ||||

Observing Life's Nanostructures with STED The secrets of life and the causes of many diseases can only be fully explained if we understand the functions of the smallest components of organisms. Using the super high resolution STED microscope of Leica Microsystems, research scientists are now able to observe cellular proteins and molecular structures measuring only a few nanometres.

Upcoming Events As researchers, we understand the importance of continuing education and professional development. For a list of upcoming events in the field of neuroscience, please Click Here. The Society for Neuroscience is a nonprofit membership organization of basic scientists and physicians who study the brain and nervous system. SfN's annual meeting provides the world's largest forum for neuroscientists to debut research and network with colleagues from around the world. Please stop by our booth, 729, to view some of the advances that we have made in neuroscience instrumentation. Our professional staff is ready to answer any questions you may have. | ||||

Schedule a Personal On-Site Demonstration and Consultation We understand that finding the right equipment for your laboratory can be a difficult and daunting task. While we try to have sufficient information about each product on our website to assist you in your buying decisions, we understand the need for one-on-one personal instrument demonstrations. We have found great interest in seeing live on-site demonstrations, and this is a great opportunity for you and your department to participate. If you would like to schedule a personal or departmental demonstration, please Click Here and we will send further information. | ||||

Research reSOLUTION Neuroscience Leica Microsystems introduces a special issue: the Research reSOLUTION. This eNewsletter covers general topics as they relate to imaging along with applications specific to developmental biology, neuroscience, protein crystallography, cell biology, entomology, and more. Leica strives to keep you up to date on exciting new technologies in the field of imaging. Designed to keep you on top of emerging science (such as genome and live cell research) and the imaging techniques surrounding it, Research reSOLUTION has your science in mind. We encourage you to visit our website: www.myneurolab.com to view some of the advances that we have made in neuroscience instrumentation. Please note that in May 2008, myNeuroLab.com™ was acquired by Leica Microsystems. Leica Microsystems is a leading global designer and producer of innovative high-tech histology systems and the myNeurolab instruments expand Leica's already wide range of imaging and specimen preparation products. Now, as part of Leica Microsystems, we are able to offer a complete range of products to fill the laboratory. We have built myNeuroLab.com as a resource, not only to find information on our range of products, but to be a resource for information on current and emerging technologies in the lab. Our professional staff is ready to answer any questions you may have | ||||
