In diesem essential wird erlautert, was die Lichtblattmikroskopie von gewohnlicher Lichtmikroskopie unterscheidet. Der Autor beleuchtet kurz die Historie solcher Verfahren, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf den technischen Konzepten liegt. Schlielich werden aktuelle Erscheinungsformen vorgestellt, ohne in die Tiefen der Ingenieurskunst hinabzusteigen. Die Ungewohnlichkeit der Lichtblattmikroskopie besteht nicht nur darin, dass Betrachtung und Beleuchtung unter einem rechten Winkel stattfinden, vielmehr gewinnt diese Art der Mikroskopie vor allem dadurch, dass durch die Art der...

This book discusses the importance of oxidative stress, related biomarkers, and its diagnostic methods including bio-analytical and advanced detection systems.

Oxidative stress is associated with diminished capacity of a biological system to overcome the overproduction of reactive oxygen species. Since oxidative stress has been suggested as a causative factor in many diseases, its prevention is vital, and there is an urgent need for oxidative stress monitoring using in vitro and in vivo models. Interdisciplinary approaches have lead to the development of various oxidative...

CRISPR-Cas9 is a rapid, efficient, versatile and relatively cheap method for dissecting the molecular pathways that are the basis of life, as well as for investigating and potentially rectifying faults in these pathways that result in disease.

This book reviews how CRISPR-Cas9 and other genome editing techniques are advancing our understanding of development and function in the nervous system, uncovering the molecular causes of neurological disorders and providing tools for gene therapy.

This book presents the core principles and technical aspects of Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI), as well as pearls and pitfalls concerning the imaging technique's application to the hepatobiliary system. All technical aspects and clinical applications discussed focus on the related anatomical region and its pathologies.

Given that magnetic resonance physics is complex and can be cumbersome to learn, the volume editors and authors have made it as simple and practical as possible. Accordingly, tables related to technical details (imaging protocols, artefacts, and optimization...
