(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.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
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.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
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.

• NADPH oxidase- phagosomal membrane
– Multicomplex protein.
– Reduction of O2 → superoxide anion (O2-):
• SOD: converts superoxide to H2O2
• Myeloperoxidase- lysosomal protein
– Produces Hypochlorous acid (OCl-) & Hydroxyl Radicals.
27. B) Reactive Nitrogen Intermediates (RNIs).
– nitric oxide synthetase (NOS):

– C5a- anaphlatoxins-
– neutrophil recruitment
– mast cell degranulation- histamine, Opsonins- C3 derivatives-
phagocytosis
• Pro-inflammatory cytokines increase adhesive properties of
vascular endothelium
– Macrophages- TNF & IL-1
• Macophages- IL-12, IL-18 - NK cells- IFN-γ- activates macrophages
(first day of infection)
• SCID mice (defect in lymphocyte maturation) can resist Listeria
monocytogenes infection

30. Natural killer (NK) cellsNatural killer (NK) cells
• Natural killer (NK)
cells use the same
effectors to kill virus-
infected cells and
tumors.
• Do not require
stimulation, nor do
they exhibit memory.
• NK cells respond in
the absence of MHC
proteins.

31. NK T cells
• Thymus derived cells
• In between innate and adaptive immunity
• Phenotypically and functionally similar to NK
cells
• It express TCR
• Marker NK1.1, which recognize an MHC-
associated CD1 receptor expressed on APC
• Cytokine production, IL-4 and INF- ϒ
(Immunoregulatory role) & kill target cells
• Rapidly produce large amounts of different
cytokines upon activation. 31
36. Antibody mediated strategy
• Antibody plays a crucial role in dealing with bacterial toxins
– Ab neutralizes diphtheria toxin- blocks attachment of the toxin to the
target cells
– Ab blocks locally acting toxins or extracellular matrix degrading
enzymes which act as spreading factors
• Interfere with motility of flagella
• IgA- immune evasion & immune exclusion mechanism- mucosal
immunity
• Ab to bacterial cell surface block functional requirements of the
organism- intake of nutrients or iron-chelating compounds
• Immunity to non-toxigenic bacteria- more efficient targeting of
complement
• Bacteria that resist alternative complement pathway are damaged
by compliment or coated with C3 products- enhance phagocytosis

37. Antigen contact antigen-
specific B cell that processes the
antigen and presents it to an
antigen-specific TH
2 cell. The
activated TH
2 cell then signals
the antigen-specific B cell to
produce antibody.
Activated B cells live for
years as memory cells and can
rapidly produce large quantities
(high titers) of antibodies upon
re-exposure to antigen.

38. T- lymphocytesT- lymphocytes
The antibody or TCR does not interact with the antigenic
macromolecule as a whole but only against a distinct portion of
the molecule called an antigenic determinant or epitope.
T cells recognize antigens presented by antigen-presenting cells
(APCs) or by pathogen-infected cells.
At the molecular level, TCRs bind peptide antigens presented by
major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins. Class I MHC
proteins are found on the surfaces of all nucleated cells.
Class II MHC proteins are found only on the surface of B
lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, all of which are
APCs.
