Prof. Li-Huei Tsai’s lab at MIT is focused on uncovering the cellular and circuit-level mechanisms that underlie Alzheimer’s disease, the devastating neurological disorder that degrades the brain’s learning and memory systems. In a 2016 paper in Nature (Iaccarino et al.), the lab reported the surprising

New to tissue clearing? If so, you are in the right place as this guide will walk you through the tissue processing journey step by step. The general protocol for tissue clearing with LifeCanvas products follows the outline shown below. First, to ensure the sample retains

Breathtaking progress in life sciences has brought us innovations such as high-throughput and individually-affordable genomic sequencing as well as next-generation flow cytometry that can phenotype dissociated cells for their expression of dozens of markers simultaneously. The development of cutting-edge technology solutions with standardized workflows has

Histological analysis has classically been performed on thin tissue sections so that fine-scale features such as individual neuronal cell bodies and cellular processes can be resolved using light microscopy. This tissue-thickness limitation is due to two primary mechanisms: (#1) contamination of the focal plane by out-of-focus light, and (#2) the limited penetration depth
