(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

Addressing antimicrobial resistance in developing countries: A balancing act
1. Addressing AMR in developing
countries: a balancing act
Arshnee Moodley
CGIAR AMR Hub leader
Nairobi, Kenya
Workshop on AMR of the Agricultural Chief Scientists of G20 01
September 2021
2. CGIAR AMR Hub mitigating agricultural associated AMR risks
Launched in 2019
www.amr.cgiar.org
5 Pillars of the AMR Hub
3. Hub’s Approach & Activities
Focus on small holder farmers
largely neglected & informal
sector
4. Why focus on Small holder farmers?
Source: Options for the Livestock Sector in Developing and Emerging Economies to
2030 and Beyond. World Economic Forum White Paper January 2019
Market value of Africa’s animal-source foods will grow to ∼$151 billion by 2050 (from ∼$37bn in 2019)
Most livestock products are sold locally and informally
5. Addressing AMR in the informal agricultural sector is a
balancing act
Impact on global livestock
output: decline in livestock
production 2.6-7.5% per year
Impact on global poverty: Significant
increase in extreme poverty-
additional 28.3 million people (high-
impact AMR scenario)
Livelihoods
Food & nutritional security
Global health priorities
Intensifying food systems
Infrastructure deficiencies
National health priorities
6. Fundamentals of reducing AMU and the spread of AMR
Reduce use
• AMU surveillance
• Ban/restriction of specific
antimicrobials
• Education-Awareness compaigns
• Evidence based treatment decisions
• Treatment guidelines
• Vaccines use
• Limiting profit of prescribers
Reduce transmission
• AMR surveillance
• Biosecurity
• Hygiene/decontamination Challenges in both human and veterinary
medicine in LMICs
Role of the
environment??

8. Approach to the informal agricultural sector in LMICs
What is the incentive to change?
Regulate, formalise or modernize vs. informal, dispersed, rural, untraceable & culture
Consumer/market drive are unlikely to be a major driver
Source: Options for the Livestock Sector in Developing
and Emerging Economies to 2030 and Beyond. World
Economic Forum White Paper January 2019
9. What about a gendered approach?
• “farmer” = man in the field or with his livestock
• 2/3 of 600 million poor mixed crop-livestock farmers are
women
• Between 5-10% of farms in NED, DK, DE are managed by females
(Eurostat 2016)
• Gender-blind intensification interventions can inadvertently
cause women to lose their business
AMR Interventions need to be effective AND
empower rural women farmers
10. Sustainability of initiatives- we cannot eradicate AMR!
• What are the indicators for M&E- global or country-level?
• Attempts to align with the UN SDGs
• agriculture is not well reflected
• AMR specific indicators?
• Targets to measure successful intervention?
• Reduction % drug- resistant infections in humans and/or animals?
• How much reduction?
• Which drug-bug commbination?
• Vaccination coverage?
• How much and which target organism?
• Reduction in agri. AMU
• How much reduction?
“Global leaders and experts today
called for a significant and urgent
reduction in the amounts of
antimicrobial drugs, including
antibiotics, used in food systems”
24th August 2021
11. Exists many important gaps in LMICs?
LMICs
Burden of AMR in humans and/or animals? Unknown
Disaggregated AMU data? Unknown
Interventions shown to reduce AMU at scale? No
Interventions are feasible (access, distribution, uptake)? Maybe, maybe not
Interventions are affordable for small-scale, semi intensive
production farmers?
Unknown
Unintended negative consequences (e.g. livelihoods)? Maybe large
12. Investments in AMR R&D
2017-2025
All sectors
Who provides
funding? Domestic
vs. international
What has been the
total investment?
Where is the
investments?
Which sector?
Number of
project within
timeframe
15. MORE INVESTMENTS IN ALL ACTION AREAS
LOCALLY RELEVANT INTERVENTIONS
IMPACT AT SCALE
CHANGE & COMMITMENT AT ALL LEVELS
In LMICs, including the agricultural sector, there
needs to be
Small holder farmers
Informal, small scale
How to regulate the informal sector??
Incentives to changes for those actors who are financial insecure and low production outputs???
Regulation is needed but it’s not enough
Majority of farmers rely on untrained animal health providers
Informal sector fills a significant gap
Limited resources to enforce regulations (corruption and low trust in government)
Capacity building is useful IF incentives are in place
Training not just about knowledge transfer - not enough
To improve or change behaviour coupled with right incentives AND an enabling environment
Willingness to pay: local consumers don’t have economic power
AMU Policies may disproportionately reduce access in areas that may have the highest unmet needs
Informal greatly outnumber formal
geographical inequality- communities that are underserved by the formal providers, may be left without adequate physical access to antibiotics
While such policies may reduce the inappropriate use of antibiotics, they could also disproportionately reduce access in areas that may have the highest unmet need for antibiotics
Biosecurity, animal AMU and food safety
Thinking about the gaps and incentives for motivations,
What do we need?
1. Not just technological solutions but whatever solution it needs to context specific and we need to understand if those interventions have unintended consequences that could be devasting e.g. exclusion of women, access to care in rural communities
