In honor of #BioVault, watch the full interview with Accelerated Muscle Biotechnologies as Anthony Hessel, PhD and Khoi Nguyen, PhD share benefits to muscle research, directions in x-ray diffraction, and more! Post: https://bit.ly/asi-amb-collab-840A-biovault 840A: https://bit.ly/840A-BioVault

Temporal analysis requires stable stimulus delivery. Odor concentration was verified using a photoionization detector (200C miniPID) from Aurora Scientific, ensuring millisecond-scale precision in latency and rise time. #NeuroTech aurorascientific.com/products/neu...

Yesterday, we explored how the brain maintains internal time. Now we shift to another challenge: how diseases like glioblastoma and medulloblastoma disrupt neural systems. These tumors actively evade immune destruction, complicating treatment. #BrainAwarenessWeek #NeuroOncology

There's a new tool for #XrayDiffraction studies: BioVault The chamber is compatible with synchrotron beamlines and enables permeabilized muscle samples to be prepared in advance of X-ray sessions, helping labs maximize precious synchrotron time. If you run these experiments, it’s worth a look! 🧪

For anyone interested in ex–vivo brain slice electrophysiology, this pub review highlights how precisely sectioned tissues were used to reveal physiological vulnerabilities in rare disease models 🧪

I really appreciate papers that advance reproducibility. Kudos to Cui et al. 2025 on their optimized protocol for assessing neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) and skeletal muscle function. A great step-by-step framework for evaluating NMJ pathophysiology + creating nerve-stimulating electrodes! 🧪
