High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) requires costly 200- to 300-keV cryo-transmission electron microscopes (cryo-TEMs) with field emission gun (FEG) sources, stable columns, constant-powered lenses, autoloader, and direct electron detectors (DED). Recent advances in 100-keV imaging with the emergence of sub-200-keV optimized DED technology promises the development of more affordable cryo-TEMs. So far, 100-keV imaging has required microscopes with FEG sources.

Robot-assisted surgery represents a significant innovation in reconstructive microsurgery, providing enhanced precision and reduced surgeon fatigue. This study examines the integration of robotic assistance in a series of 85 consecutive robot-assisted microsurgical (RAMS) operations. It aims to evaluate changes in the integration of RAMS during the implementation phase in a single institution.

Background: Chronic stress promotes life-long risk for neuropsychiatric decline by increasing neuroinflammation and disrupting synaptic health and plasticity. Our lab and others have recently demonstrated that non-invasive gamma sensory stimulation (flicker) modulates immune signaling, restores microglial function, and improves cognitive performance in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, no research to date has studied the effects of flicker in the context of stress.

Background: Stage III activated microglia have been associated with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and cognitive decline. Separately, recent single-cell RNA-sequencing revealed CD74 as a marker gene that is enriched in immunologically active microglial subtypes associated with AD.
Method: Post mortem tissue sections from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex were stained simultaneously for (1) CD74, (2) IBA1 (a general microglial marker that outlines cellular processes), and (3) phosphoTau (AT8 antibody) to locate Tau proteinopathy.
Background: Interventional trials in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) are increasingly targeting early disease stages. To optimize the likelihood of successful outcomes for these trials, there is an important need for tools capable of identifying individuals prone to exhibit clinical progression throughout the course of the trial. The Expanded Brief Assessment of Cognition (Expanded-BAC) and the Virtual Reality Functional Capacity Assessment Tool - Short List (VRFCAT-SLx) are two computerized tests assessing cognitive and functional abilities, respectively.
