Visualization and analysis of whole depot adipose tissue neural innervation.

Little is known about the diversity and function of adipose tissue nerves, due in part to the inability to effectively visualize the tissue's diverse nerve subtypes and the patterns of innervation across an intact depot. The tools to image and quantify adipose tissue innervation are currently limited. Here, we present a method of tissue processing that decreases tissue thickness in the z-axis while leaving cells intact for subsequent immunostaining.

Agricultural land use changes stream dissolved organic matter via altering soil inputs to streams.

Agricultural land use leads to significant changes in both the quality (e.g., sources and compositions) and quantity of dissolved organic matter (DOM) exported from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems.
