Upcoming Webinar | August 4 | Using Surgically Resected Brain Tissue to Study the Physiological Maturation of Human Neurons
Introducing the Levinger Lab and PhD Candidate Heidi Kreckel At Colorado State University, the Levinger Lab—led by Professor Nancy E. Levinger—has long been a pioneer in exploring how molecules behave in nanoconfined environments. Recently, the Levinger group has added studies exploring how plant material can withstand cryoprotectant treatments that help it survive at ultralow temperatures. […]
Figure 1. Joulia lab (June 2025) Meet the Joulia Lab at the National Heart and Lung Institute Dr. Régis Joulia leads a newly established research group based at the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) at Imperial College London. Supported by funding from the Wellcome Trust and other charitable organizations, the Joulia Lab focuses on […]
Simplify your tissue sectioning. Preserve integrity. Eliminate freezing artifacts. Traditional cryostats have long been the go-to tool for tissue sectioning, but they come with significant drawbacks—freezing damage, bulky design, and intensive maintenance. The Compresstome VF-510-0Z offers a modern alternative: a next-generation vibrating microtome that enables fast, reliable sectioning of live or fixed tissues—without the need […]
