V International Symposium "Topical problems of biophotonics-2015" and ASCOS-2015

By -
On 20-24th of July Prof. D. Papkovsky has attended international symposium "Topical problems of biophotonics" (Volga river, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia). He presented a talk about imaging of hypoxia in 3D cultures of stem and cancer cells using phosphorescence-based nanosensors in section devoted to "Tumour and stem cells biology".
More information on the event can be found here.

Straight after this conference, Prof. D. Papkovsky and PhD candidate C. Kelly have attended the 9th Advanced Study Course on Optical Chemical Sensors (ASCOS) held in Porto, Portugal on 22-29th of July. Prof. D. Papkovsky delivered a talk on intracellular chemical sensing.
Congratulations to Caroline, which team won the Project Group Work!

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 .
