1Dpt of Physiology and Biophysics, Dalhousie University, 2Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School

Traditionally the vertical slice and the whole-mount preparation of the retina have been used to study the function of retinal circuits. Here, we describe the novel slicing method to preserve the dendritic morphology of retinal neurons intact.

Born Normalization for Fluorescence Optical Projection Tomography for Whole Heart Imaging
Claudio Vinegoni 1,2, Daniel Razansky 3, Jose-Luiz Figueiredo 1,2, Lyuba Fexon 1,2, Misha Pivovarov 1,2, Matthias Nahrendorf 1,2, Vasilis Ntziachristos 3, Ralph Weissleder 1,2

We suggest a Born normalized approach for Optical Projection Tomography (BnOPT) that accounts for the absorption properties of imaged samples to obtain accurate and quantitative fluorescence tomographic reconstructions. We use the proposed algorithm to reconstruct the fluorescence molecular probe distribution within small animal organs.

Mesoscopic Fluorescence Tomography for In-vivo Imaging of Developing Drosophila

1Center for Systems Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital, 2Institute for Biological and Medical Imaging (IBMI), Technical University of Munich and Helmholtz Center Munich, 3Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School and Howard Hughes Medical Institute

Mesoscopic fluorescence tomography operates beyond the penetration limits of tissue-sectioning fluorescence microscopy. The technique is based on multi-projection illumination and a photon transport description. We demonstrate in-vivo whole-body 3D visualization of the morphogenesis of GFP-expressing wing imaginal discs in Drosophila melanogaster.

1Center for Systems Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital

We present a method for rapid, reversible immobilization of small molecules and functionalized nanoparticle assemblies for Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) studies, using sequential on-chip bioorthogonal cycloaddition chemistry and antibody-antigen capture.

Sequential In vivo Imaging of Osteogenic Stem/Progenitor Cells During Fracture Repair
Dongsu Park 1, Joel A. Spencer 2, Charles P. Lin 2, David T. Scadden 1
1Center for Regenerative Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Stem Cell Institute, 2Wellman Center for Photomedicine and Center for Systems Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School

Quantitative measurement of bone progenitor function in fracture healing requires high resolution serial imaging technology. Here, protocols are provided for using intravital microscopy and osteo-lineage tracking to sequentially image and quantify the migration, proliferation and differentiation of endogenous osteogenic stem/progenitor cells in the process of repairing bone fracture.

Interictal High Frequency Oscillations Detected with Simultaneous Magnetoencephalography and Electroencephalography as Biomarker of Pediatric Epilepsy
Christos Papadelis 1, Eleonora Tamilia 1, Steven Stufflebeam 2, Patricia E. Grant 1, Joseph R. Madsen 3, Phillip L. Pearl 4, Naoaki Tanaka 2

Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, 3Division of Epilepsy Surgery, Department of Neurosurgery, Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, 4Division of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology, Department of Neurology, Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School

High Frequency Oscillations (HFOs) have emerged as presurgical biomarkers for the identification of the epileptogenic zone in pediatric patients with medically refractory epilepsy. A methodology for the noninvasive recording, detection, and localization of HFOs with simultaneous scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) is presented.

1Department of Bioengineering, Lehigh University, 2Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Lehigh University, 3Department of Chemistry, Lehigh University, 4Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics, Lehigh University

We present a protocol for immobilizing single macromolecules in microfluidic devices and quantifying changes in their conformations under shear flow. This protocol is useful for characterizing the biomechanical and functional properties of biomolecules such as proteins and DNA in a flow environment.
