New publication from the group: imaging of O2 nanosensors in implanted scaffold materials

By -

Dr. R. Dmitriev performed and co-authored a collaborative study together with groups from Russia (Sechenov Institute for Regenerative Medicine and Privolzhsky Research Medical University) and Austria (TU Graz), which describes multi-parameter imaging of decellularized pericardial biomeshes in an implanted mouse model. One of highlights of the study is the finding that conjugated polymer-based O2 nanosensors can bind and remain bound to the biomeshes in live animal for extended period of time and thus used for subsequent O2 imaging in live animal and ex vivo. This confirms high usability of conjugated nanoparticle sensors previously developed by our team for such emerging applications as monitoring of tissue regeneration, tumour imaging and others.
The work has been published in Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology journal. Full text can be assessed here. Twitter link.

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 .
