Upcoming Webinar | August 4 | Using Surgically Resected Brain Tissue to Study the Physiological Maturation of Human Neurons
Key Takeaways A new study from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Harvard Medical School, generated with Precisionary’s Compresstome vibrating microtome, extends viable human precision-cut liver slice (PCLS) culture to 10 to 14 days, far beyond the field baseline where fewer than 7% of published PCLS studies maintain culture past 72 hours. During extended […]
Key Takeaways Researchers profiled how SMARCB1-deficient sinonasal carcinoma responds to drugs directly in patient tumor tissue, preserving the spatial architecture rather than dissociating the sample. Live tumor slices were generated on a Compresstome tissue slicer, producing uniform, viable sections suitable for ex vivo drug exposure. Drug responses varied across distinct regions of the same tumor, […]
At Precisionary Instruments, our ultimate goal is to support scientists throughout their careers and we absolutely love following them as they become successful in their respective fields. There is nothing more rewarding than partnering with brilliant minds, watching their projects evolve, and celebrating their monumental milestones. Today, we are thrilled to shine a Lab Spotlight […]
Advancing skin research depends on high-quality tissue samples, and a recent study (Ziolkowski et al. from Science Advances) is a great example of how innovative sectioning techniques can make a big difference. This team of researchers set out to better understand touch detection in skin tissue, and to do that, they needed clear, precise sections […]
At Precisionary Instruments, we are committed to supporting cutting-edge research that advances our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases. In a recent study published in Communications Biology, Lo Cascio et al. (2025) explore the structure and properties of brain-derived tau oligomers, shedding light on their role in neurodegeneration. This research provides significant insights into how different tau […]
