'Here, we examine major steps from classical IHC protocols and highlight the impact they have on the scIHC procedure. We report practical examples and illustrations of the most common complications that can arise during the setup of a new biomarker panel and how to avoid them. We described in detail how to prevent and detect cross-reactivity between secondary reagents and carry over between detection antibodies.'

"Our understanding of thymic blood vascular hemodynamics is limited due to technical challenges associated with accessing the native thymus in live mice. To overcome this challenge, we developed an intravital two-photon imaging method to visualize the native thymus in vivo and investigated functional changes to the vascular system following sublethal irradiation."

'La Alhambra era una mezcla de ruina, espacios reconstruidos en épocas anteriores con un aire arabesco artificial que correspondía más a una versión idealizada de lo árabe que a la realidad del arte musulmán oriental propio de la Península.
