Visualization of single mRNA molecules in fixed cells can be achieved using single molecule fluorescent in situ hybridization (smFISH). This approach enables accurate quantification of mRNA numbers and localization at a single-cell level. To ensure reliable results using smFISH, it is critical to use fluorescent probes that are highly specific to their RNA target. To facilitate probe design, we have created anglerFISH, a user-friendly command-line based pipeline. In this chapter, we present how to perform a smFISH experiment using user-designed and labeled probes.

Background: The minimally invasive Nuss procedure has emerged as the standard of care for correction of pectus excavatum. The site of chest wall insertion and bar shape are currently contoured on the basis of the surgeon's judgment. To optimize and individualize Nuss bar configuration, we aimed to create a virtual surgical planning workflow and 3-dimensional (3D) printed Nuss bar molds customized to each patient's defect.

Bone is a dynamic tissue that serves several purposes in the human body, including storing calcium, forming blood cells, and protecting and supporting the body's organs. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is secreted into the circulation by osteoblasts, the cells responsible for making bone. It attaches to the surface of osteoblast cells or matrix vesicles.

Background: Ethylenediamine tetraacetate/glycine acid (EGA) and chloroquine diphosphate (CDP) are used in transfusion testing to dissociate IgG antibodies from red blood cells (RBCs). However, the ability of these reagents to dissociate IgM antibodies sensitized to RBCs has not been comprehensively elucidated. We investigated whether EGA and CDP could dissociate cold-reactive antibodies from RBCs and their effect on RBCs after dissociation treatment.
