Non-invasive longitudinal imaging reveals aging-associated changes in neuroimmune cells in adult zebrafish Open
Zebrafish are a powerful model for imaging studies of development and neurobiology. However, most studies have focused on developing zebrafish due to technical and biological challenges of imaging adult stages. These include increased tiss…

Development of a Low-Cost Gastroscope Prototype (GP) for Potential Cost-Effective Gastric Cancer Screening in Prevalent Regions Open
Background Screening for gastric cancer is known to be associated with reduced mortality in populations with high prevalence. However, many countries with high prevalence do not screen, with high costs being a significant reason for this. …

MRI Compatible, Customizable, and 3D-Printable Microdrive for Neuroscience Research Open
The effective connectivity of brain networks can be assessed using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to quantify the effects of local electrical microstimulation (EM) on distributed neuronal activity. The delivery of EM to speci…

A novel bioreactor for combined magnetic resonance spectroscopy and optical imaging of metabolism in 3D cell cultures Open
Purpose Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) of endogenous fluorescent metabolites permits the measurement of cellular metabolism in cell, tissue and animal models. In parallel, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of dynamic n…

3D second harmonic generation imaging tomography by multi-view excitation Open
Biological tissues have complex 3D collagen fiber architecture that cannot be fully visualized by conventional second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy due to electric dipole considerations. We have developed a multi-view SHG imaging pl…
