The VS200 slide scanner was obtained through an NIH Shared Instrumentation Grant and has been installed in D11-35. Assisted scanning will be performed by MPC staff and charged on a per-slide cost basis. Unassisted use can be performed following training. The VS200 produces fast scans at 20x or 40x in…
MPC has joined the BioImaging North American (BINA) consortium. BioImaging North America (BINA) was started during the 2018 “Frontiers in Microscopy Technologies and Strategies for Bioimaging Centers Network” meeting on Janelia Research Campus. It was registered as a US non-profit organization in June 2018 and until the Spring of 2021 was…

A recent publication by University of Florida investigators highlights the utility of laser microdissection to separate pancreatic ductal epithelium and stroma. Dr. Song Han and colleagues published their studies in Oncotarget describing alterations in miRNA important in pancreatic tumor biology. Laser microdissection was performed by Dr. David Gonzalo, Chief Gastrointestinal…
Dr. Ann Fu performed in situ hybridization for LINC00473 using an ACD RNAScope customized probe with Dr. Lizi Wu (cAMP/CREB-regulated LINC00473 marks LKB1-inactivated lung cancer and mediates tumor growth, JCI 2016). Enhanced LINC00473 expression was highly correlated with LKB1 mutational status and was associated with poor survival in human lung…
Dr. Campbell-Thompson and colleagues recently published an article on the immunophenoytyping of islet inflammation and residual beta cell mass in organ donors with type 1 diabetes in the March, 2016 issue of Diabetes. One of their images was selected for the journal’s cover. The multiple immunofluorescence staining was done by…
The Leica 7000 is now available for brightfield and fluorescence sample microdissection. Paraffin and frozen samples can be used with nuclei acid isolation. Numerous options are available including live cell capture. Please contact Dr. Ann Fu to discuss your project needs and arrange use.
