Muscle Fiber
Quantifies area, diameter, and perimeter of muscle fibers stained with laminin or other fiber membrane stain.
Neuroscience
Object Colocalization
Count one or two objects and measure the object area, diameter, stain intensity, and colocalization (where applicable). Microvessel and amyloid plaque quantification are most common applications.
Muscle Fiber FL
Quantify expression of up to five brightfield stains in any cellular compartment – membrane, nucleus or cytoplasm.
Early-onset impairment of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in dopaminergic neurons caused by α-synuclein
Chris McKinnon, et al, Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2020.
In this study, McKinnon et al identify overexpression of α-synuclein leading to catalytic impairment of the 26S proteosome in defined regions of rat brains. Brain tissue was fixed following α-synuclein overexpression for immunofluorescence studies of dopaminergic neurons which were quantified by the HALO image analysis platform. Future research will focus on characterizing the relationship between proteasome impairment and neurodegeneration.
