(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.
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.

4. Earth Layers
• The Earth is divided into four
main layers.
*Inner Core
*Outer Core
*Mantle
*Crust
5. The Crust
* The Earth’s crust is
like the skin of an
apple. It is very thin
compared to the
other three layers.
• *The crust makes up
1% of the Earth.
* The crust of the Earth
is broken into many
pieces called plates.
6. The Crust
The crust is only about 3-5 miles (8
kilometers) thick under the
oceans(oceanic crust) and about 25
miles (32 kilometers) thick under
the continents (continental crust).
7. The Crust
• Outer layer
• 5-70 km thick
• 2 types of crust
–Oceanic (very
dense, made of
basalt)
–Continental (less
dense, made of
granite)
10. The Mantle
• The mantle is the
layer below the
crust.
• The mantle is the
largest layer of the
Earth.
• The mantle is
divided into two
regions: the upper
and lower sections.
11. 2890 km thick layer
Most thickest layer of earth
Is divided into two layers further
Outer mantle (Is less viscous and can flow
easily) present next to crust
Inner mantle( Is more viscous and highly
dense.)
12. Outer Core
* The core of the
Earth is like a ball
of very hot metals.
* The outer core is
liquid.
* The outer core is
made up of iron and
is very dense.
13. Inner Core
* The inner core of
the Earth has
temperatures and
pressures so great
that the metals are
squeezed together
and are not able to
move.
* The inner core is a
solid.
14. Earth’s Layers
• How are the earth’s
layers similar to an
egg?
• Shell=crust
• Egg white=mantle
• Yolk=core
15. Physical Structure of the Earth
• Lithosphere- rigid outer layer
(crust)
• Asthenosphere- solid rock that
flows slowly (like hot asphalt)
16. Lithosphere
• The lithosphere (geosphere) is the "solid" part
of Earth. It has two parts, the crust and the
upper mantle
• The lithosphere “ sits on the” asthenosphere.
• The Earths Plates are the lithosphere.
• It is the rocky, solid portion of the crust.
Remember that it is made up of mostly
Silicon( Si) and Oxygen (O).
17. Asthenosphere
• This is the layer below the lithosphere.
This layer is “ plastic –like”.
• It is somewhat solid/liquid.
• You can say that it is malleable.
• Very important in terms of plate
tectonics.
18.
19. Tectonic Plates
• Earth’s crust is broken into about 19
pieces
• These plates move on top of the
asthenosphere
