Recent conference presentations

By -
Prof. D. Papkovsky presented at two international conferences relevant to the fields of poprhyrins and O2 transport into live tissue:

At 8th International conference of porphyrins and phtalocyanines (ICPP-8, Istanbul, Turkey, June 22-27, 2014) organised by Society of Porphyrins and Phtalocyanines he presented talk entitled "Oxygen (nano) sensors based on phosphorescent porphyrins".

At the annual meeting of International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT 2014, London, UK, 28 June- 3 July) he presented a talk entitled "Optical imaging of cell and tissue oxygenation by means of cell-penetrating phosphorescent probes".

Affordable microscopy of spheroid oxygenation (video protocol)

Our lab has published a new protocol paper, this time with the video, in the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE)! In this research method paper, we report the use of red/ near-infrared emitting biocompatible nanosensors to monitor oxygenation of the live multicellular spheroids (made of one or more cell types), together with the tracers of cell death. While this methodology is typically available only for users with 'high-end' PLIM microscopes and alike, we show that using of ratiometric readout with the red and near infrared emitting fluorescent nanosensors makes this possible on broadly available 'widefield' fluorescence microscope platforms. This method helps comparing oxygenation of spheroids, assessing this in a long-term and kinetic assays, comparing their variability and viability, essential in follow-up 3D printing applications. This is the first article in our collection ' Quantitative live cell imaging of 3D models' , guest-edited together with

JoVE Methods collection: Quantitative live cell imaging of 3D models

Together with Prof. Margarida Barroso (Albany Medical College), we guest edit a collection of video protocols, hosted by the Journal of Visualised Experiments ( JoVE ), and  dedicated to the quantitative live cell imaging in 3D .  We expect bringing together some leaders and innovators in various aspects of the quantitative live fluorescence microscopies applied to ex vivo animal models, organoids and 3D engineered tissue blocks. The collection, which just has been started, can be assessed here .
